Ok, I wasn't sure what to make of it for a long time. The concept of a man (seemingly) murdering children and small animals in his butt was wildly distasteful but also completely impossible. I viewed it as a sort of surreal crime drama with a hint of dark comedy which somehow takes place in the present and the 1970s/80s at the same time. It's an absurd film and the people who made it know that, and I appreciate going for something "out there". That's why I chose to watch it. Nearing the end we find that the beings the main character put in his butt are actually still alive inside a strange alternative dimension. Great! No horrible child murders afterall. But for some reason I cannot fathom, the writer chose to have one of the two children die inside the butt dimension. Why??? This is not a serious film. Why have a tragic ending? I mean, even the dog escaped alive even though he'd been in there a decade and probably would be dead from old age by now. (Yes, time is the same in the butt as it is outside. We know this because a baby aged ten years inside there.) I really thought both children would get out alive because it's ridiculous to make a film this silly then end on a sad note for no reason. The only explanation I can imagine for why the writer made it seem that one boy died is because perhaps a sequel was being planned that reveals the boy is actually still alive but stuck in a different dimension.
