Truly Dreadful Film

The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

This is ultimately a movie about the very bad things that can happen when we don't address our unease, when we just try to brush it off, whether that's to fit in or to preserve our self-image.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

In every one of the highly distinctive fleshy animations of Robert Morgan that I've seen, I've detected a certain inspiration to Belial the crawling twisted abomination of Frank Hennenlotter's classic Basket Case, and it was very cool to see him finally put something together that directly references the movie with this. It sees the monstrous disembodied Siamese twin having a very strange dream/nightmare that displays his vile sexual desires as well as his continuing rage and trauma at his forced surgical separation as well as what he can't have, and it ends with what must be some kind of premonition of his fatal fall to the ground...or so we thought! It's a pretty good bit of animation, this incarnation of Belial has the same creepy face that Morgan always seems to stick with in his demented works of art, and it has a couple of impressive mad fleshy sight gags.. I've seen better by Robert Morgan though, I mean this is good but it doesn't have the sick mind-blowing flair that Bobby Yeah had. It's definitely fun to see a little more of the Belial monster in some form of other though. Most recommended if you enjoy the monster or get a kick out of the terrifically insane world of a very talented and cool animator! x
