Shrill freak show
3 October 2005
I give this two stars for the Dr. Caligari like set design and a funny profane ABC song. The rest of it is unwatchable would be wanna be but ain't cult movie. Though it's in bad taste to mention this the main topless woman (and she's topless for the whole movie) has one breast that's obviously larger than the other. Was this the best they could do, or did they cast her on purpose because of that. Knowing the other works of director Elfman and writer Bright, odd instead of clever, usually tasteless and always noncommercial, it's probably no accident.

This is a claustrophobic mess that is almost unwatchable at feature length, not funny and willfully noncommercial. If you're own dope I'm sure this is better, but then again wouldn't a good movie on dope be even better than this stoner's idea of a one note joke that lasts a long long time? This is one of those films that seems to start over again every 6 minutes or so and will never end. It's no wonder it took a long time for Elfman to direct again. Writer Bright has had better luck, but don't bother with this one. Tune in if your curious but you'll tune out long before it's over or wish you had.
