Spewed out by Lloyd Kaufman’s Troma Entertainment, The Toxic Avenger first polluted our screens back in 1984. The new reboot of the franchise boasts rather better production values, and a surprisingly starry cast.

Peter Dinklage plays Winston Gooze, the janitor at a chemical factory who plunges into a pool of toxic waste and mutates into a misshapen superhero. Kevin Bacon lends OTT support as a sleazy CEO, while Elijah Wood goes full Igor as his henchman.

SFX’s reviewer said: “Enough decapitation, limb-lopping and disembowelment to scare off most mainstream viewers... deserves kudos for the constant stream of quips and sight gags that spew forth like effluence from a busted sewage pipe”.

The Toxic Avenger is available to buy now on 4K, Blu-ray and DVD, in an “unrated” cut. Bonuses include director’s commentary, three sizeable featurettes (86 minutes), and the San Diego Comic-Con panel.

We have five Blu-ray copies up for grabs. To put your name in the hat for the chance to win one, simply answer the question below. PLEASE NOTE: THIS COMPETITION IS OPEN TO UK ENTRANTS ONLY.
