Toxic Delays & Indie Vibes The Toxic Avenger (2025) isn’t actually a 2025 movie—it was made in 2023 but spent two years in distribution hell. Why? Because Lionsgate reportedly thought it was unreleasable. Enter Cineverse, the same indie distributor that got Terrifier in theaters. They finally launched it with limited showings in late-night slots, even in Austin, TX (the supposed debut city). So yes, the film arrives with a ton of baggage—but is it worth the wait? A Slow Burn into a Troma Bloodbath The first half is rough. Like, almost walk out rough. The comedy doesn’t land. The characters…

Wells’ classic novel is a Frankenstein’s monster of bad CGI, awkward product placement, phoned-in performances, and tone-deaf seriousness. This movie isn’t…
