Creepy, Dark and Hilarious!

Others have already explained the plot so I won't go into that here. Let's just say that Director's Cut has a lot more layers than you might expect. The underlying cop drama is beautifully shot and Herbie's director's commentary is very funny.

There are numerous throw-away one-liners and inside jokes and some of the special effects will have you laughing out loud.

The car chase near the end was spectacular!

Trivia
Penn Jillette lost so much weight (around 120 lbs) after principle photography ended that they were unable to go back and do any re-shoots or pick-up scenes as he looked so dramatically different.

Quotes
Herbert Blount: Usually the police captain in movies is an exasperated African American man, but we went with the lady from Insidious.

Crazy credits
Movie begins with a false disclaimer in all-capital letters:

Attention Movie Watchers

The views expressed in the following directors [sic] commentary are the opinions of the movie maker alone and not the corporate hacks who butchered this movie in the first place.
