Maybe this is an "art piece," but as a movie, it plays like a Bosch-induced nightmare. Sure, some of the images are intriguing, but the interest wanes quickly, as a murky plot grinds the film to a halt.
Somebody smoked something, and decided to combine "Oz" with "Alice," and pay homage to "Labrynth." And, hell, why not throw in a bit of Stephen King's "Talisman," as well. And then there's that whole Bosch connection.
The budget is listed as only $4 million, so Henson Co. didn't burn off too much cash in the process.
I do NOT recommend this film for younger children, as many images are disturbing. That human/cat in a dirty toilet? Hey, now there's something for the kids!
