If you liked Richard Stanley’s previous film Hardware, then you will most likely enjoy this. The characters, cinematography, and script are excellent. The film kind of lost me towards the end. Just didn’t seem very well fleshed out in the last act. This is definitely a cult film. It’s not for everyone. However, I enjoyed it thoroughly.
Ehhh this was my second time trying this one and I guess it doesn’t work for me, a bit too much of a mess and hollow. Stanley’s other movie ‘Hardware’ is a classic however and hopefully Shudder can get that one into the mix on here.
not worth watching but u can roll the dice
This one "lays it on pretty thick", you could say. B movie gold.
Richard Stanley is an alchemical madman of a filmmaker and this movie rules. Hopefully, now that he’s returning to the camera directing Cage in a Lovecraft adaptation, he’ll get his rightful due and this underrated slice of impressionistic dark fantasy will get a directors cut and restoration. Watch it now. Cherish that killer finale.
