You really have to love this film to appreciate it. I bought it out of curiosity, but I was disappointed. Too much noise and jumping around for me. Very messy and disjointed editing. I just needed to relax after finishing the movie. Deadly tiring work.

The beginning is a bit annoying, but once you get into the house the film finally takes off and you can fully enjoy the deluge of über-kitschy weirdness that is thrown at you until the end. The last half hour is just a series of highlights, wonderful! 4*.

Saw it for the first time last year during the horror challenge 2022 and this was my review; But what should I do with this film, I really don't know. What was that to me? 
I'm not going to quote the film because I was a bit tired and missed something here and there. But what I have seen.. 
. Hilarious, bizarre, sometimes ugly but sometimes also very beautiful, crazy effects... no, I'm going to watch this again afterwards because it seems bad... but on the other hand, also great. So no score for now.
Rewatched a year later during the horror challenge 2023 and remains a crazy film that still manages to entertain sufficiently through the crazy story that is presented in a very strange way with music, alternating ugly and beautiful images. Somehow still fascinating to watch, even though there are a lot of scenes in the film that manage to diminish both the pace of the film and the focus. 6/10
