Do you remember that segment in Monty Python’s Meaning Of Life, “where did the fish go?”, where they satire pretentious attempts at abstract avant garde surrealist art films? This is exactly the kind of cinema they were mocking. It’s like a giant montage of random mania with backgrounds heavily focused on scenes of decay. If there’s a statement, it’s lost under the utter pretentiousness of this wannabe art film.
Irredeemable, incomprehensible, abstract claptrap masquerading as horror.
all vibes, no thoughts
Awful
Gorgeous Visuals. Very close to no plot. Deeply enjoyable.
