Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Combat Shock is a 1986 action war drama released by Troma Entertainment.The film follows a disturbed Vietnam veteran named Frankie Dunlan, whose sanity begins to slip from his life in the New York slums with depraved junkies, his naggy wife, and a baby that's severely deformed from his exposure to Agent Orange during the war; all while struggling to find work to support him and his family.The movie was released in 1986 to very mixed reviews, but has since gotten a bit of a cult status.

Darker and Edgier: Quite possibly Troma's darkest production ever made, with virtually none of the self-aware humor that characterizes the company's other productions.
