While this movie is enjoyable to watch, it is by no means a masterpiece in storytelling. Despite being classed by many as a "B-role" film or an "indie classic", it is clear that in 1991 this movie was well funded though possibly not well advertised.

The best attributes of the film is wardrobe and camera use. Throughout the film, unique and interesting camera angles are used in a way that is seldom seen today and what characters lack in depth is made up for in wardrobe.

While 'biker gang' is how the antagonists are labelled, the frequent use of Neo-Nazi and confederate flag imagery makes it clear that the group is more of a 'white power supremacist cult' than 'biker gang'. Despite this clearly being a 'white supremacist cult' none of the regular tropes to white supremacy are used other than violence, murder and drugs.

Over all this film is terrible to watch but great to know about if you don't go into the film expecting much you won't leave disappointed!

While the rest of Atlanta is an entertaining black sitcom, this episode feels slightly out of place. While the need to push the subtle racism experienced by a black community is part of what makes Atlanta great, some instances in this episode (like a white Bavarian dressed American mistaking Daniel Glover for a minstrel) seem like the show was actually reaching with unrealistic acts of subtle racism.

Other small details, like Fasnacht actually being a predominantly Swiss form of carnival (see: Basel Fasnacht) or masks and costumes used in Fasnacht having a specific aesthetic (with a cultural significance) that a "scream mask" doesn't really cover, makes the whole episode feel off somehow.

The evening feels like an amalgamation of European folk law that made me feel like I was watching "white face".

As this episode is all about how out of place the protagonist feels, I too felt out of place in this episode unsure of what story was trying to be told which might have been the intention but it didn't pay off.

I started watching this film expecting some kind of comedy genius, instead it seemed like a fanboy film designed to profit off the "success" of The Room.

The Irony was lost on me having never seen The Room in it's entirety and this movie is flat.

Were the makers of this film making fun of the audience as well as the source material?
