What sets it apart
May contain story progression spoilers
Bud's killings, cannibalistic mutations, and absurd set pieces deliberately combine revulsion with slapstick humor.
Steve, Kevin, and Katie break into a secret government laboratory and steal a frozen corpse as a prank.
Bud's killing spree turns victims into cannibalistic CHUDs, escalating the threat beyond the original corpse.
The film's cheap monster premise, comic gore, and bizarre set pieces align with late-night cult horror viewing.
