201383 min4.4 / 10

A grotesque, deliberately absurd body-horror comedy that revels in scatological surrealism and low-budget Canadian exploitation excess.

A sewage worker gets trapped inside a septic tank during a water contamination crisis and undergoes a hideous transformation. To escape, he must team up with a docile Giant and confront the murdering madman known as Lord Auch.
