Everything from purse snatching, to breaking & entering, etc. So the film begins with April O’Neil giving a report for Channel 3 news about the recent crime wave that has been occurring in New York City. They were a tremendous part of my childhood and I can’t wait to share it with you. In fact, it was done by a new company and is one of the most productive independent films ever made.Īnd almost everyone, from writers, producers, Judith Hoag (April O’Neil), Jim Hensen, etc complained that this film was too dark and too violent.

It was supposed to be done in the ’80s before the TV show, but financing always fell through. The craziest thing for me to wrap my head around was how no one wanted to make it. The film tried to stay true to the comic series, rather than the TV show from backstories, to lighting, to introductions, etc.

My sister, friends, and I used to always act out the films or create our own stories. So I was a gigantic fan of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movies, especially the first two. This version doesn’t have as many horror elements as the others, but mutated creatures are still mutated creatures. Instead of doing Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III (1993) when they travel back in time to Japan, I’ve decided we are going to the film that started it all. The former had a Frankenstein-like quality and the latter had monsters. So I started Horrorfest V with the 2014 live action film, and worked backwards to the 2007 animated version. They choosing to use their abilities for good and be superheroes doesn’t change the fact of how they were made. In fact the only thing that separates them from other radioactively changed creatures: such as the ants in Them, the giant spider in the Tarantula, or even Godzilla. Au contraire, you see the turtles are radioactively enhanced to be larger agile, smarter, etc. I know you are all saying to yourselves, hey this is a superhero movie, not a horror film. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles? As a horror film? NO WAY. So I know those of you who haven’t been following me, and have stumbled upon this post are probably really confused. So this is our third installment of four reviews of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles’ films.

If you’ve been following me you’ve read this already, but for the new readers I’m giving a little background as to why I choose a TMNT film. I gathered them up in an old coffee can and when I awoke the next morning, I received a shock. One day, I came upon a shattered glass jar and four baby turtles… The little ones were crawling into a strange glowing ooze from a broken canister nearby.
