Terrorama! (2001) is the first feature film of Dutch director Edwin Brienen.
The film tells the story of six mental cases, trying to get rid of society's norms and values by kidnapping Gerard van Dongen, a well-known TV host. During an improvised TV show, the terrorists confront this van Dongen with their darkest thoughts and emotions, resulting in violent excesses and extreme sexual behaviour.
In 2002 Terrorama! won the award for Best film at the Melbourne Underground Film Festival and best leading actress at the Toronto Independent Film Festival (Esther Eva Verkaaik).
