Her's a wonderfully warped classic that should not be passed over by adult horror fans just because it's aimed at misfit 12-year-olds. What can I say? I greatly enjoy this horror movie with its gross jokes and cinematic recreations of Kentucky Fried Rat and "the poodle in the microwave" urban legends. The meat of the movie is two stories with lots of potty humor. The first story is about a monster in the boys bathroom at school. This one brings back all the childish memories of creepy school bathrooms. The second story continues with the potty humor, but it is decidedly more twisted. It's about a lonely fat kid named Gordy, who steals experimental manure to attract flies for his demented hobby. What makes the stories fun is the attention to details. For instance, the reporter interviewing Farmer Spivy about his "miracle manure" works for the KORN network. Ha, ha, ha! Get it? Gordy likes to rip the wings off of flies while listening to classical music and put the little fellas in his various dioramas of human society. The strangest diorama is a church, complete with a crucified Jesus fly. My hat is off to the writer/director of this creepy gem.
