I found this consistently fascinating, though it’s the very definition of “not for everyone.” It has a true cult-movie cast.

Its lurid set-up should definitely interest cineastes who can appreciate a bit of tastelessness in their exploitation films, but Robert Martin Carroll's provocative directorial debut devolves into a surreal fairy tale with an undernourished finale.
