1996 - 107m.

Hard to classify Troma release is right up there with their best films including The Toxic Avenger. The Troma Team takes Shakespeare's classic tale and twists, perverts and gores it up with the tale of two feuding degenerate families and the love between two teens from each.

All at once tasteless, hilarious, gory and somewhat intelligent this breaks new ground for being a B-movie. As usual for Troma cheaper production values but an entertaining and compelling film for their fans. More plot than usual for the company as well, but it doesn't suffer because of it, actually due to that fact it becomes their most well-rounded film to date.

Review based on unrated version.
