This movie starts off by introducing us to the unusual world of a serial killer with a heart gold named Red Toole. He enjoys killing hippies, wearing costumes made of human flesh and spending quality time at home with his wife Violet.
When Violet is kidnapped by a deformed Mad Scientist named Baron Nefarious, Red sets out on a thoroughly bizarre journey in hopes of getting her back.
That is more or less the plot, but how Red gets from point A to point B is so funny and ridiculous that it wouldn't do it justice to try and explain it here. This is one you have to see for yourself.
If I were an unoriginal S.O.B. I'd say this movie was like Airplane meets The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. But I'm not and besides that would probably make you think of the Scary Movie series and this is nothing like those lame flicks. Sadly, I am not as clever as the makers of this film so I will have to say this movie is kind of like a cross between Top Secret and Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer, except with more fish monsters and naked zombie girls.
When I grow up I want to be Red Toole or president, maybe both. I love this movie, you will too. If you don't then there is obviously something wrong with you.
This one was pretty good. Not much of a budget but it keeps you laughing. You got everything in this film from robots to giant houseflies and even rockabilly legend Hasil Adkins playing himself. Porn legend Jamie Gillis pops up in it a couple of times. There is regular nudity and zombie nudity. Overall a good time to be had and you won't get brain strain trying to figure anything out.

- TriviaEditor Daniel Strange cut this film to fulfill his end of a bet made with director Caleb Emerson while the two were in film school together. Strange and Emerson hated each other (and claim to hate each other to this day). In an attempt to jinx each other they made an agreement that if Strange got funding for a feature film first that Caleb would have to do the special effects, and if Caleb got funding for his feature first that Strange would have to edit it gratis. The two never spoke throughout the process of editing this feature film; they communicated to each other only through notes, emails and messages relayed by assistant editor Paul Nadjmabadi.
