Should you see it? Only if you really really want an early Peter Jackson-like flick.
Apparently filmmakers in New Zealand try to emulate Peter Jackson and his films like "Bad Taste." This one has experiments of regression into ancestor's lives leading to a sort of re-incarnation of a criminally insane prisoner. The film tries for outlandish, sometimes cartoonish violence for both shock and humor, but fails at the humor. A brain gets sucked through a straw, as in "Bloodsucking Freaks," though I expect it was stolen secondhand from "Hannibal." There's cannibalism, a seance, a stabbing contest and even a climactic death by license plate. It might have succeeded, had not all of it been done before and better by others.
