Troma is a film production and distribution company, started by Lloyd Kaufman and Michael Herz that, since 1974, has been producing low budget independent movies non-stop. Troma's films have a solid cult following, and are unique in that they are well known in the mainstream Hollywood circles, even though their films are not mainstream pictures.


Troma films are known for their use of very shocking imagery; some would categorize them as "shock exploitation films". They typically contain overt sexuality, graphic violence, gore and nudity, so much that the term Troma Film has become synonymous with these characteristics. The Troma slogan is Movies of the Future.


Troma has had a keen eye for emerging talent, having produced or acquired early films with Kevin Costner, Samuel L. Jackson, Marisa Tomei, Trey Parker and Matt Stone. Their latest production, Tales from the Crapper, was released in October 2004.


Some of their more famous films include:
