Skip it unless you're a devoted fan of weird, trippy horror-comedy—this Don Coscarelli cult oddity is aggressively bizarre and deliberately disjointed, which works brilliantly for some viewers and feels insufferably pretentious to others. The plot synopsis sounds killer, but the execution is deliberately fractured and slow-burn strange in a way that demands patience and a very specific mood. Watch it only if you're actively seeking something unconventional and don't mind a film that prioritizes atmosphere over coherence.
