Uhmmmmm… slightly political incorrect? I like the exploding pregnant women.
I believe that all the monsters are zombified, so it’s not hostility towards cephalopods and pregnant women, it’s hostility towards the undead.
And acid? Like the ending of 2001, it’s weird enough without needing to deplete your stash, surely?
Wow. Just wow. A video-arcade fever dream, circa 1986. Would have been perfect if he’d used the garish color palette of the genre instead of the B/W of pre-WWII cartoons.
