Viewing Notes

Considered buying this in the last Arrow sale but wanted to watch it first. Even as a Brian Yuzna joint this is some damn goofy shit. Just based on the FX I would’ve guess he was involved (not to mention the actors present). Practical FX are very nice but some of the slapstick and jokey stuff is corny. This makes me want to watch the anime versions.

This would be a good film for B-Fest.
