About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a fast, weird sci-fi horror-comedy ride with big imagination and unsettling fun; Not for you if you need a clear, conventional plot, or if you disliked similarly offbeat titles like Tusk or Bubba Ho-Tep.
Pros: quirky dark humor; wild otherworldly ideas; fun genre-bending | Cons: hard to follow; rushed pacing; mixed visual effects
