good film. This is how low budget films are supposed to be done. Very depressing too. That baby is kinda freaky. This film is very old looking but done pretty well.

4.0 out of 5 stars Ugly, Depressing Art Dec 4 2003
By ProEvil
Format:DVD
Despite some glaring flaws, Combat Shock is an unforgettable experience and possibly the best Troma product. Take Scorsese, Ferrara, Bunuel(in his 'realist' phase), stir them up in a sewer and you might get something like this suicide inducer. Shot on a used car budget in the wilds of New Jersey, this toxic little gem is widely considered the most depressing film ever made. I might not agree, but it's pretty damn bleak and uncompromising. The story concerns twin american bugaboos, poverty and the maltreatment of combat vets. The almost absurdly downbeat script pulls no punches. Considering half of all americans are three paychecks away from the protagonist's world, this will strike too close to home for some. Most won't enjoy this grimy, gory, spin down life's drain, but Combat Shock is the type of film that Hollywood could never produce. I, for one, wish Buddy Giovinazzo would make more movies.

4.0 out of 5 stars i need a shower Dec 4 2003
By Raoul Duke
Format:DVD
so, right after watching this, I said to myself 'wow, that movie really sucked.' however, i spent the next 2 days replaying parts of it over and over in my head. the fact that the budget was so non existent and that it has had such a profoundly disturbing and lasting effect on my brain make me highly recommend it. If you like challenging cinema and you're a weirdo, pick this up. So unbeleivably horrid its beautiful

4.0 out of 5 stars Low Budget? How About No Budget?
Well, our friends at Troma have done it again. "Combat Shock" is a grimy, unflinching look at the effects of war that left me feeling unclean. In a word, I loved it! Read more
