I --- eh --- um --- it --- well --- German --- stark --- black and white only makes white --- eh --- creepier --- and on Blu-ray? --- dude

crazy disjointed, yet all-is-connected story

kids --- forced purity --- metaphor or prequel to Facism? --- disappearing --- punishment --- fire --- disturbing --- what's with the black chickens?

creepy --- no super creepy weird --- had to watch Star Trek episode to balance out

still gave me nightmares --- (with Oliver Reed and wooden yacht - what? why?)

When it was over I kept thinking of the 'bots on Mystery Science Theater after watching "Manos Hands of Fate". This movie left me shaking like Tom Servo.
