I watched Combat Shock a few days ago, it was depressing but totally compelling. The extreme low budget adds to the whole scuzzy feel of the film. I was impressed by the special effects as they were ecellent considering how low budget the rest was (the creepy agent orange deformed baby is a good example). The whole thing is like some kind of waking nightmare and reminded me alot of Eraserhead, Taxi Driver and thematically Rambo. Lloyd Kaufman calls it one of Tromas 'masterpieces' and I'm inclined to agree.
