This is a profoundly unappealing film, and I’m guessing that is what John Waters was after. The whole film has a certain “fuck you” quality. Its shot in grainy black and white, 16mm stock. The contrast is blown out and it was filmed without sound. Actually Waters has said that he doesn’t really care for the film. The fact that it is unpleasant and not supported by its maker doesn’t mean its not an interesting film worth watching, although once the blood and vomit start flowing you may want to quit.
