Portugal will host Troma for the world premiere of Fernando Alle’s zombie film, Mutant Blast, at the MOTELX film festival.
In the sci-fi / horror film, a fearless soldier, and TS-347 – a man with superhuman strength – are being pursued by a military cell responsible for scientific experiments that have resulted in a zombie apocalypse. On the way, they will meet Pedro, a man with few ambitions and a great hangover. Together, they will try to escape to a safe place, but complications will cross their paths in the form of a nuclear bomb.
Troma can be an acquired taste, but their fans are many and ardent. I’ve only liked a few of their films over the years, most recently Father’s Day and, of course, the Toxic Avenger series come to mind, but I’m intrigued by this one. It seems that it might come loaded with a little less self-awareness and schlock than some of their other titles.
Add a score by Antoni Maiovvi who recently scored Housewife for Baskin director Can Evrenol and I’m on board to give Mutant Blast a fair shake.
Check out the film’s first teaser poster below.
