    Really tough to rate, mainly because I fell asleep so deeply that I missed nearly every plot point. Woke up to Danny suggesting he might try vegan cheese or grow a beard. Think he was being sarcastic, despite already having a beard.

    Gonna fill in the blanks and assume the rest was as bad as the beginning, but it was atleast fairly easy viewing. Will endeavour to catch the rest if the moment arises. Can't imagine it will.

    It's a whole lot of dread for one sitting, but yet here I am, feeling dreadful after jamming it all in one go. Powerful stuff that mostly stays on the right side of melodramatic, thanks to a pretty deft cast.

Oh, ya like the Toxic Avenger? Let's weirdly pivot to a homage of that in the last 20 minutes. Oh, you want those last 20 minutes to go on forever? Yeah, no probs, lets make something that could be a 90 minute skit into a groan-inducing gore slog,…
