Cult Review
Senior Film Conservator

Honestly, it depends on how much you like digging through the bargain bin of film history. If you are a fan of The Happy Hottentots or just really love seeing what movies looked like before they figured out how to pace a scene, then yeah, sure. Go for it.
But if you need a story that makes sense or actors who aren't constantly winking at the camera? Probably stay away. This isn't exactly high art, and it isn't trying to be, either. 🎞️
The whole thing feels like it was filmed in a backyard with a dream and a prayer. There's this raw, unpolished energy that you just don't see in modern stuff anymore. It’s chaotic, loud, and occasionally just confusing.
Watching Billy Barty pop up on screen is always a trip, though. He has this way of commanding the frame even when the camera work is, frankly, kind of a disaster. 🤷♂️
It’s not as polished as The Chase, and honestly, it’s all the better for it. Sometimes you just want to watch a mess unfold without having to think about the 'meaning' of it all. It’s a short, weird, dusty little movie. Keep your expectations low and you might actually have a decent time.
It’s a strange little artifact. Don't overthink it.
