Call for Papers: PopMatters Celebrates The Jam in Massive Special Section

Troma to Tackle Philippe Mora's Forgotten Masterpiece 'Mad Dog Morgan'

Monday, May 18, 2009

With the collection already containing Cannibal: The Musical, Redneck Zombies, and the amazing Last Horror Film, Troma has announced the next three films in their Tromasterpiece series, and one is a truly forgotten gem. Along with The First Turn-On and Combat Shock, the true art house distributor will be offering Australian auteur Phillipe Mora’s 1976 epic Mad Dog Morgan. Starring a superb Dennis Hopper and dealing with an intriguing part of Aussie folklore, this beautiful and demanding movie is finally getting the digital polish it so richly deserves. The trailer below is just a taste of the treats Troma has in storm. Check out the Collection’s Official Website to find out more.
