Synopsis

A man is being interviewed about a strange hiring process. They “rehabilitate” homeless people by giving them plenty to eat. Who gets to eat a lot? Santa Claus. And Prisoners. What if they were the same thing?

Commentary

It’s “A Clockwork Orange” meets “Rare Exports” with a sprinkling of “Saw”.

Thoroughly weird. Makeup and costumes are great, the acting is fun, and the attention to detail is quite good. I love the slam against actors too. “Check it again!”
