About
You may like this if you enjoy shocking, surreal cult horror with a lurid pulp vibe similar to Blind Beast or Dogra Magra; Not for you if extreme grotesque imagery and cruelty are dealbreakers.
Pros: bizarre premise; creepy island setting; unforgettable imagery | Cons: very disturbing content; chaotic storytelling; exploitative tone
