Igor and the Lunatics is a 1985 horror film directed by Billy Parolini and distributed by Troma Entertainment. The film follows Paul, a maniacal cult leader, and his group of murderous followers, Igor and Bernard, who, after being sent to prison after a killing spree, are released sixteen years later, only to return to their killings.

Production

[edit]

The movie was financed by Troma Entertainment who were so unhappy with the final product that they did extensive reshoots and re-editing to add more gore and more action into the film. The final version of the film has numerous co-directors credited, one specifically for action and gore scenes.

The movie did become a cult-classic and a staple of the Troma library. T.J. Glenn who worked on the film both as an actor and stunt person would go on to work on numerous other Troma titles - most famously; Citizen Toxie: The Toxic Avenger IV.
