Insights
Review Summary
Pros: boldly absurd; unforgettable imagery; darkly funny moments | Cons: thin narrative drive; disturbing animal cruelty; off-putting tone
Will You Like This?
You may like this if you’re drawn to surreal, unsettling, plot-light art films that lean into chaos and dark humor, especially if Eraserhead or Stroszek worked for you; Not for you if you want clear story beats or can’t handle animal cruelty.

I went in with this movie thinking it was something rather disturbing. It’s more of a psychedelic movie from ‘70s. Aside from few animal abuse footage and few dark comedy scenes, I’ve found this movie pretty boring.
