First-time writer-director Mark Hanlon creates a solidly trippy atmosphere.
Such a compellingly repulsive freak show it's hard to pay attention to any serious concerns.
Be wary of any movie in which the hero is monosyllabic and a stutterer at the same time.
First-time writer-director Mark Hanlon lands only glancing blows in this grim black comedy.
A little bit "pi," a little bit "julien donkey-boy," a little bit "Eraserhead," Buddy Boy doesn't equal these, but offers bizarre pleasures of its own.
Mark Hanlon's ridiculous and repellent hash of "Repulsion" and "Psycho," with scenic elements of "Seven" thrown in for good measure.
