The pacing feels almost hypnotic, drawing you into the real-life madness these individuals recount. The practical effects are raw and visceral, making everything hit harder, and there's a certain authenticity in the performances that adds to the atmosphere. It’s not polished—it's gritty, and that’s what makes it stand out. The restoration has breathed new life into this shockumentary that many thought was lost, and it’s fascinating to see how it captures the unfiltered chaos of the human psyche.
