While some horror movies are immediate mainstream successes, quite a few forever remain in the shadows, even if they are quality films.
In March 2026, Collider shared a list of 10 forgotten but "perfect horror movies." The publication included scary films with relatively small fan bases, like 1957's The Incredible Shrinking Man, Premutos: The Fallen Angel from 1997, and 2013's WNUF Halloween Special. Collider ranked the gross and goofy 2000 film, Citizen Toxie: The Toxic Avenger IV, as the most "perfect horror movie that nobody remembers."
Director Lloyd Kaufman Discussed the 2023 'Toxic Avenger' Remake in a 2025 Interview
Citizen Toxie: The Toxic Avenger IV was co-directed by Lloyd Kaufman, who also co-directed the first three Toxic Avenger films, 1984's The Toxic Avenger, 1989's The Toxic Avenger Part II, and The Toxic Avenger Part III: The Last Temptation of Toxie, also from 1989, per IMDb. In a 2025 interview on the Dead Meat podcast, Kaufman discussed his campy and creepy film franchise. He explained that despite the films' upsetting moments, the movies have a sense of sincerity that resonates with fans. He also said that Macon Blair, who directed the 2023 remake of The Toxic Avenger, honored the original movies' genuineness and uplifting of the underdog.
"The underdog has been a big theme of ours, and Macon Blair has taken the themes we've used for 52 years, and made them really explode," said Kaufman in the 2025 interview.
In addition, Kaufman said Blair built upon and bettered his 1984 Toxic Avenger film, which stars Mitch Cohen, who plays the titular character.
"[Blair] made more of a film than we ever made. The Toxic Avenger Blair made is a masterpiece. It doesn't just have a lot of blood and guts. It's got heart. It's got the brain, the heart, and soul of Macon Blair," said Kaufman while recording the Dead Meat podcast episode.
