Viewing Notes

A very unusual gallo that feels like pieces are missing. The sci-fi angle is very weird, using tech to make boneless chickens??? WTF so weird. This barely touches mystery but it kinda does by the end. Just an odd film that is surprisingly safe for the sub-genre and a Cult Epics release. Most of the stuff they release is rather explicit. I got this blu as part of a crowdfunding reward for its release. But looking at it, it’s as tho no restoration was done or if it was, the original elements had to be in terrible shape. The PQ is akin to viewing an old DVD. The audio isn’t great either. Kinda surprised. I think I paid a lot for this way back in the day (2017).
