A very rare film indeed. It is a very surreal trip into horror that just seems to start. The actions of most of the characters is never explained beyond a simple point.
This bizarre carnival is full of cannibalistic ghouls who love to eat and watch silent movies on the cinema screen, a strange bloodsucking vampire named Blood, a demented dwarf named Bobo (Herve De Villechaize), and of course it's all overseen by the mysterious Malatesta.
Director Chris Speeth really knows how to bring out the oddness of his actors because it shows in every frame. If you are into very surreal films, then this is for you. It's not a bad film by any means, I love it, but it is not for everyone.
I am very glad American Zoetrope helped with getting this long lost gem out to the public once again. Recommended.
