A deliriously funny, boundary-pushing lo-fi extravaganza of bad taste, featuring scenes of wanton exhibitionism, creepy voyeurism, sodomy, masturbation, gluttony, vomiting, rape, incest, murder, cannibalism, castration, foot fetishism, a singing prolapsed anus and the actual consumption of dog faeces. It has a killer rock ‘n’ roll soundtrack and was one of the movies most often requested by the Scala audience.

Contains scenes that some may find disturbing.

See the film on 35mm with intro by Mark Moore and Tasty Tim on Fri 26 Jan 20:50 NFT1.
