About This Movie

You've got this down-on-his-luck Irish fishmonger who gets roped into a pretty bizarre situation involving a sex pact with an ancient fish creature — yes, you read that right. The tone is darkly comedic, almost surreal, and it plays with themes of desperation and family ties in the most unexpected ways. The pacing oscillates between laugh-out-loud moments and those eerie, unsettling scenes that linger. Practical effects here are quite striking, giving a tangible quality to the fish creature that’s hard to ignore. Performances are solid, especially from the lead, who really captures that hapless vibe. It's distinctive in its oddness and how it tackles such heavy themes through a comedic lens.
