The Grand Illusion

Macon Blair’s long-awaited modern-day retelling of Troma’s legendary 1984 classic, starring Peter Dinklage, Jacob Tremblay, Taylour Paige, Elijah Wood, and Kevin Bacon.

A horrible toxic accident transforms downtrodden janitor, Winston Gooze (Dinklage), into a new evolution of hero: The Toxic Avenger. Now, Toxie must rise from outcast to savior, taking on ruthless corporate overlords and corrupt forces who threaten his son, his friends, and his community. In a world where greed runs rampant… justice is best served radioactive.

Please note: Here-After is a 21 and over establishment. The entrance is via the alley in back of The Crocodile building. Get there early to order tasty beverages from the bar and delicious food from Tat’s Deli!

“The Toxic Avenger is exactly as advertised. It does what it says on the tin. It’s comically violent, absurdly gory, and extremely silly. But it’s also a timely ‘eat the rich’ story infused with an earnest working class perspective.” Britt Hayes, The Mary Sue

“A bonkers and bloody delight. Macon Blair’s Toxic Avenger is a hugely enjoyable and rowdy escape that also feels like a celebration of movie magic, especially the wild things one can create with ingenuity, practical effects and a lot of passion for the genre.” Perri Nemiroff, Collider
