Description: A newborn baby is ripped out of his mother and delivered in a plastic garbage bag to an insanely fucked-up priest. The baby grows up sleeping in a cage, getting tortured and beaten and raped by his new daddy on a regular basis. You know, just like Jesus would do! Little boy grows up to be even worse than his daddy as he abducts, tortures and kills random, innocent people for the hell of it. Check out his cross with sheets of human flesh decorating it or perhaps just drying out so he can wear the skin on his face, like Leatherface. Who knows? Crosses have many uses apparently.

This flick starts off rough and confusing but gets better as it goes along. The blood never stops flowing as this unbelievably twisted, grotesquely violent flick goes from one jaw dropping scene of splatter/gore to another and another.

I was slightly disappointed with this often confusing, pointless exercise in extreme brutality. It lived up to its reputation but the story seemed underwritten like its missing the third Act. The special effects and crazy violence almost make up for it, though. Perseveration: the pathological, persistent repetition of a word, gesture, or act, often associated with brain damage or schizophrenia.
