Viewing Notes

Few will say this is Sono’s finest work (it’s not) but damn is it entertaining. Especially in a theater with a capacity crowd as we experienced at CIFF. Given the material which ranges from horror to comedy to action to comedy to fantasy to comedy this is likely better viewing with a crowd than home alone on the couch where one may just repeat, “WTF?” over and over rather than just enjoying the ride. Usually this type of genre mishmash would go awry in most hands but Sono culls from his previous work to string these together for a wild adventure and engaging mystery in a world of women.

Still resolving to the other TAG.
