REVIEWS:
It's a mash-up of criminal satire, horror and comedy that kept me entertained from start to finish. Marita Carbone is a true standout as the eccentric aristocrat with a twisted penchant for hoarding oddities. The collision between her and the hapless Mormon duo is both hilarious and cringe-worthy, as we witness the lengths she'll go to in order to fulfill her consumerist desires. Plenty of religious commentary and a healthy dose of gore hahaha.
