Viewing Notes
First film in Paul’s “A Sacrificial Christmas” double feature via Kast. This is such an odd comedy horror but I can’t really even tag it horror despite the family of cannibals. Nothing remotely horrific happens, even comedically. Also weird bc it’s directed by Anthony Perkins who mixes sight gags and slapstick with a stylized approach for very mixed results. Not a good movie but certainly interesting plus Donna Dixon is luminous.
