How it feels

Two teens from feuding families fall in love in a wildly outrageous version of the classic story. This adaptation goes in ridiculous directions with bizarre mutations, extreme gore, and graphic sexual content. It changes the original ending into something much different.

What happens

Tromeo and Juliet is a 1996 American independent transgressive romantic black comedy film and a loose adaptation of the play Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare from Troma Entertainment. The film was directed by Lloyd Kaufman from a screenplay he co-wrote with James Gunn, who also served as associate director. The film is a loose adaptation of the play, as it includes the extreme amounts of sexuality and violence characteristic of Troma, as well as a revised ending. The film's title is a blend of "Troma" and "Romeo and Juliet". (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
