After watching it, my first thought was: who the hell came up with the title? A light melodrama, perhaps a comedy, could have been called that. But this...
I can't imagine what the actors had to go through. To turn yourself inside out like that in front of the camera, you need to have a lot of inner strength. And one can only sympathize with them, since all their efforts were in vain.
How Creer Deni managed to film such a strange and creepy plot in such a boring way is a mystery to me. But what is, is. Even the most shocking and explicit scenes elicit virtually no reaction. Well, except for the constant exclamation: “What the...?”
Have you ever seen a naked man in just a coat standing guard at a school and scaring little girls with his appearance? Do you remember your reaction to him? That's exactly how you'll feel after watching this film.
