I’m not quite sure how I feel about a movie that concerns a rapist of dads. Wait, I do know how I feel about it: Not good. But hey, this is Troma Entertainment; they specialize in making us feel queasy. And that’s just what they aim to do with Astron-6’s FATHER’S DAY, which indeed will be released just in time for that very special holiday. What more perfect gift to give to your pop?

Here’s the plot. Enjoy it. The urban legend known as ‘The Father’s Day Killer’ began some years after the demise of serial rapist/murderer Chris Fuchman. Since the 1970s, the use of contraceptives has tripled in North America alone and a generation of fathers fell asleep with the covers pulled tight, buttocks clenched. The story has become a fire-side cautionary ritual on camping trips, often used by fathers to warn their sons of the dangers of unplanned pregnancy. That deep seeded fear of penetration, violation and eventually death waned as the murder and rape of fathers continued to decline all over the world. Unfortunately those numbers didn’t remain low, and it would seem that the legend is not yet complete.
