Parts of this work so well it’s awful.
It reminds me of the Rodney Dangerfield “family sitcom” scenes from Natural Born Killers.
I wonder if you could make a whole film, original story but done in this style? With this jarring dissonance between content and tonal cues?
That’s EXACTLY what it made me think of Joe. Great minds. 🙂
I imagine an entire film would have you crawling out of your seat with the willies….but it could be done.
