Look at your supposed "maestros" of the genre: Tobe Hooper (has made one good horror film), Sam Raimi (has only directed 4 horror films ever), Wes Craven (hahahaha!), George Romero (has directed some of the worst films ever -- Jesus, have you seen his half of "Two Evil Eyes"?!).... now look at Henenlotter: 6 BRILLIANT, off-the-wall, gory, amazing horror movies unlike anything else out there. It's good to have you back, Frank! Even though he hasn't made a movie in nearly 20 years, everything about this production felt like 100% Henenlotter. Artsy and hallucinatory visuals at times, strange in every way a horror film can be strange but still be considered horror, not to mention that this is fast-paced, to-the-point, and entertaining beyond belief. No filler whatsoever -- this is straight-up, hardcore Henenlotter, in your face, not giving you a chance to breathe.
Also, in a stunning development, the directing/cinematography is better than it's ever been, the acting is top notch (featuring a female lead for the first time!), and the sex scenes are strangely hot. This whole film is extremely powerful... I can safely say there are some genuinely disturbing scenes you won't be able to get out of your head for a long time to come.
This is just another ace in the hole for Henenlotter, who has made 6 amazing, arguably perfect horror films. So often, horror (as with any genre) is contrived, dull, made to appeal to the lowest common denominator. If you're the type who gets off to crapfests like "Saw" and a billion crappy horror movie remakes, this won't be your bag. However, if you like surreal, INTELLIGENT, and -- most importantly -- different horror, this is for you. A future classic and probably the best new film that's come out in forever.
