Rex’s violent confrontations and the cannibal family’s grotesque behavior are repeatedly framed through twisted humor.
Rex habitually talks to his conscience, giving his inner monologue an active dramatic presence.
Rex is trapped by a demented family whose dark secret involves cannibalism and captivity.
The bank robbery and escape sequences use gunfire, fights, and gruesome threats as rowdy genre spectacle.
