Suffused w/ 80s NYC grime, metaphors for homosexual urges and drug addiction, gnarly practical effects and a hilarious little parasite guy!

Frank Henenlotter is insane. Which leads to rad movies.

My friend and I died laughing during the parasite’s first scene.

A bizarre film with a great puppet and a bonkers metaphor for cocaine addiction; surprisingly entertaining for such an out-there concept.

The beginning is one of the best introductions to a movie i’ve ever seen. Great at being visually upsetting, great fx work
