This movie is crazy all the way through, interwoven with normalcy. There's all kinds of crazy going on here though it all has one origin. I really enjoyed it even though I was impatient with the normalcy to return to the crazy!

 

This movie is graphic and the effects are good. Expect nudity and adult scenes. It's a little long winded but worth the wait between gruesome scenes. This is a German movie but there are subtitles and English audio. 

 

If you can’t find is anywhere else, it’s definitely here. Enjoy!
