They can...THEY CAN! Easily the most entertaining (and rewatchable) film ever made, if not quite the best. It's got more quotable lines than any other film I've ever seen, Duck Soup included. An acquired taste, how much you like it will depend on how familiar you are with the stereotypical movies it resembles...barely resembles. Those who haven't seen too many horror movies usually just think it's badly made, with bad acting, bad effects, etc., and completely miss the surrealist heights it hits. Imagine taking your run-of-the-mill late nite cheapo horror flick and stripping it of any logic or pretense of plausibility, cast a bunch of the MOST unprofessional actors you can find, and rewrite the dialogue at the end of a bad acid trip. No wannabe cult hit, it was apparently made with the best intentions, and we all know what the devil does with those! The director's called it "an unpretentious childrens' story," overlooking the obscenely cruel ending, which jars the relatively light-hearted mood of the first 92 minutes of the film. Not to be missed.
