Overview
Having just been fired and dumped by his wife, life couldn’t possibly be worse for independent artist Gordon Hauge (Mark Redfield)—until he wrecks his car and finds himself in purgatory, that is. Once there, he is attacked by fanatic Shadowmen and legions of Ragmen—souls being enslaved and bent to some dark purpose. Gordon is rescued by an eccentric band of freedom fighters, people from different times of history who lost their lives in noble sacrifice. They recruit the reluctant and befuddled Gordon and set off on a wild adventure through the surreal landscapes of purgatory to battle the Despiser—an evil being who now reigns in this seemingly God-abandoned halfway house north of hell and south of heaven.

Viewing Notes
Movie 11, the final film!
hint:
11. Outrageously ambitious DIY horror/sci-fi/action/comedy epic
Def did not guess this correctly! Would’ve never guessed this. Not sure how to rate this because it’s not a good movie but it is so entertaining for that reason. ofc it’s a movie better viewed with others and perfect for a watch party.
It’s amusing to me that I’ve owned this DVD since whenever it was released and watched it back then, some 20 years ago and completely forgot about it. Maybe my brain purposely repressed the memory of it? hahaha
