About
If you enjoy offbeat Danish dark comedies with absurd situations and a creeping sense of dread, this could hit the spot; Not for you if cannibalism themes or bleak, tasteless humor are dealbreakers—try Adam's Apples or Flickering Lights for a similar vibe.
Pros: wicked dark humor; oddball characters; brisk, engaging pace | Cons: gross premise; uneven laughs; taste may vary
