Strange and extremely compelling thriller done in typical Larry Cohen-genrebending mode.

Larry Cohen is full of sh#t. Everything people in this movie do and say is not just implausible, it's plain stupid. I think it's SUPPOSED to be humorous social commentary, but really, it's just mean-spirited stupidity and nothing more.

What an interesting film. It works on multiple levels, and the psychedelic editing and pseudo-dream sequence car ads really add to it. Every character is well-developed. The acting, as with every Cohen film I've seen, comes across as somewhat melodramatic, but that's not to say that the actors aren't convincing or entertaining.
