Not the same type of film AT ALL as Tetsuo or Tokyo fist, this is a bizarre comedy/horror,with the lowest budget ever and really cheesy special effects - spot on if you're in the right mood! Don't try to follow the plot (a fairly standard gates-of-hell for the most part complete with scary caretaker), as its not really necessary. Just sit back and enjoy the running, screaming and madness of it all. One to watch, especially if you liked Evil Dead, Bad Taste, Brain Dead and the like.
