Release Date: May 25, 1999 Studio: TROMA ENTERTAINMENT INC. Theatrical Release Date: May 14, 1986 Editorial Review: Description: In underground NYC director Buddy Giovinazzo's disturbing, horrifying Combat Shock, a vet trades in the jungles of the Nam for an entirely different concrete jungle- The mean streets of New York! Exposure to torture cages destroyed his will. Agent Orange left him with a deformed child. With debts owed to vicious loan sharks, no job and no money, Frankie (Ricky Giovinazzo) wanders streets and alleyways filled with junkies, hoods, teenage prostitutes and brutality that makes war seem like recess. Combat Shock has been hailed as one of the top thirteen most disturbing movies by horror writer Stanley Waiter and this exclusive digitally mastered uncut DVD release will show you why. Nothing you have seen will prepare you for the terrifying desperation of Combat Shock. Features include an interview and commentary track by director Buddy Giovinazzo and outlaw German director Jorg Buttgereit (Nekromantik, Der Todesking). Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Get troma-tizedYES YES YES!!!!! A sick twisted tale for you freaks out there. Disgruntled war veteran Frankie returns home from Vietnam, only to learn the war is not over. Only the battlefield has changed, instead of the jungle he struggles on the streets in New York. His problems start at home. His wife nags, moans, complains, whines, fusses, gripes, grumbles, cries over everything. You can hardly blame her though, their apartment is in utter shambles. Not to mention they have no food or internet(haha) ... Read More Rating: - Depletion DepictedI have a fondness for low budget films. I also have a fondness for Staten Island. Here you would have a depiction of both, in theire most torrid state of depletion. That is, a film portraying the lowest, most bereft state of humanity. Seemingly, this work is done as well as humanly possible with the funds at hand. In it's basic from, it portrays an ex-VietNam vet who loses his marbles, goes bananas and does something really bad. Certain scenes made me squirm in hideous disgust. That's good. It worked. Right ...

He searches for a job to support his family as he starts to work as a drug dealer with a gang if he can get the money that he owes them and one day he goes insane. A disturbing, bleak and interesting action horror drama that mixes three genres into one strange yet very good movie and it's also a character study. It's truly one of Troma's ...

It's an hour and a half of some skanky dude that can't act walking around New York. WOW! Then in the last 3 min's of the movie he kills his whole family and then himself. This movie has no point. If you want a cool TROMA movie stick to THE TOXIC AVENGER MOVIES. Rating: - DEPRESSIVE AND DARK "Combat Shock" is one of the most depressive movies I've seen. It's so pitch-dark and hopeless you physically begin to feel sick. The main character Frankie is a Vietnam vet who lives in a small flat near a railroad with his always-nagging wife and a mutant baby - because the troops in Vietnam were exposed to some chemical weapons. Frankie has no job, every day he just idly wanders the neighbourhood. His family lives in extreme poverty, they are about to be evicted, they have nothing to eat, and the mutant baby is ...
