The title says it all

Wow. Just finished watching this movie, and I must say, it did not disappoint me. Of course I believe first of all it is necessary to say, that you have to be into these kind of movies, cause if your not, you'll just hate it. This is one of these movies, that in my belief can only be rated as "love it or hate it", there is not an in between.

There is plenty of gore, lots of sick stuff and violence but also you can find some very nice cinematography and funny criticism on society.

I don't want to call this movie "deep" in any way, but it has its very satirical points and the violence shows some very unique fantasy.

If you are into over-the-top gore, comicesque trash movies, Asian shockers like "Itchie" or "The story of Ricky", this is definitely a must watch, that'll keep you entertained and will stay in your head for a while.
