Odd film
but entertaining
When there's no more room in hell, The dead will walk the earth...
Agreed. Odd, wacked out, and really good.

To be honest this must be one of the most pointless movies I've ever seen.
Who are these people and why should we care about them?
How do they know each other?
Why do they wanna eat themselfs to death?
These are just some of the questions the movie raises. I know alot of people will say this so I'll be the first one. No, i don't get it. But I really can't help but wonder if there is anything to get at all.
A bunch of people go out to a mansion to partake in a orgie witch will ultimately lead them to die. If i could sum this movie up in one sentence it would be: "The movie in wich they eat, *beep* and fart"
I don't wanna be a hater. But to me this movie just is pointless.
no problem with that. I'm the same. I found the whole film dreary and rather pointless too. People on here will tell you that's art. But to me its *beep* I mean, if there wasn't naked women running around in it i probably wouldn't have bothered getting to the end, but ultimately, the last 10mins when they kill themselves is the only real interesting bit. I think i laughed twice.
I can only assume this film has a high value on IMDB because of Ferreri fan's.
Anyway, on to Tales of Ordinary Madness next - i'm convinced there must be a reason why this director's work has entered my realm.
I just watched 'La Grande Bouffe' this morning, and my first reaction was "well, that was ... special".
Didn't hate it, didn't like it particularly. However, it didn't bore me, which is important.
A Woody Allen film or Avatar? I can't stand those ridiculous glasses, so Avatar.
odd, but not in a good way
so many movies, so little time
