Oh boyo I am so pleased to see this linked here! This is a gleefully ridiculous send-up of materialist, elitist culture with excellent special FX. Like an absurdist combination of elements reminiscent of “Parents” (yes, the one with Randy Quaid) and “Eyes Wide Shut”, we follow our young protagonist as he discovers what his parents are really up to. Accompanied by excellent, careful cinematography and decent acting (even in the scenes where I’m sure the performers felt kinda silly). Bristling with eccentric, “wrong” humor, there’s plenty of scenes where you’ll find yourself asking “WTF did I just watch?” or abruptly cackling uncomfortably.
Although a bit dated now, the special effects I’d previously mentioned really are quite good. Even more appreciable these days, as many films rely mostly or wholly on CGI for sets and certain costumes. That’s all well and good, but a film like this simply wouldn’t be the same without handmade effects.
Overall, the film is likeable for its uniqueness alone, but also worthwhile for its carefully mixture of offbeat humor, parody, body horror, and a creeping “wrongness”.

Definitely check it out if you’re tired of the majority “horror/comedy” films that are usually not funny nor scary. If you were taking grownup Wednesday Addams on a drive-in date, she’d wanna see this one.
