I did rent this movie a year ago

Its looks like a John Waters film with a Tim Burton twist

The scean where Gus is eating mud was close enough to the dog eating turd in Pink Flamingo and Bill Paxton has the same humor that Beetlejuice had and Judd Nelson Chartor was even closer to Edward Scissor hands with the the third arm instead of the scissor hands and the guy who desighn the set for this film looks the same one who did the set for HairSpray with all that classic artwork. And every time I hear the name Marty Malt, Its make me want to make a Malty Milk shake. Hersheys still make the Malt syrup. Its avable at your local Walmart Super center.

I was totally thinking John Waters too... Especially that scene with Bill Paxton and the three heavy ladies...

the dark backwards is just too cohesive to be john waters.

i will say that the dog poop eating scene in pf is 100% real, unlike the scenes in dark backward.
