A Fantastic Film

I saw this film at the New York City Horror Film Festival, and have to say it was one of the scariest but funniest movies I've ever seen. I was laughing out loud when at the very same time I was scared half to death by Millard Mudd, the lead character. This movie is brainey, sick, and yet very entertaining. I couldn't believe how I was laughing even at the most horrifying things. Very well done! It truly deserved to win Best Film at the festival. I really reccommend it if you like creepy black comedies.
