a very surreal and experimental piece of art., 16 April 2007
4/10
Author: mitch1989 from United Kingdom

I just saw this in Belgium and for the first night in the country their was definitely some mental scarring amongst the group. This film is over top gory, surreal, experimental and just plain hard to watch.

Although it would be unfair to criticise it for these things because despite defying the common structural techniques Hollywood employs, it dared to be different. And was a success in retaining some sort of satirical overview of society.

The production values were mediocre, relying on an overuse of close-ups and the effects were occasionally flawed. Though to be fair i expected a lot worse and think it all works well in adding to the comedy of the movie.
