Turbo Kid creates a decidedly throwback post-apocalyptic future that seems imagined in the early 1980s. It’s the year 1997 – the world is destroyed, and unlikely heroes The Kid and Apple must fight to survive the relentless evil overlord Zeus (played by genre veteran Michael Ironside). Quebec collective RKSS (Roadkill Superstar – aka François Simard – Anouk Whissell and Yoann-Karl Whissell) have created a fun, earnest, raucous splatter fest. It’s a film made with love by genre fans, for genre fans, featuring a pounding synth soundtrack and oozing retro style.
