Viewing Notes

Bonus movie for FF2021 that originally screened back in the early days of Fantastic Fest. Weird movie that feels more like a TV movie or series. Crams way more than it needs to into the story which suffers for it. Still like I what is here and the wild ambitious premise.  Surprised that no one has picked this up for distribution. Not a great film but worthy enough to get more eyes on it.
