If you're into offbeat, low-budget indie films with a wild streak and a whole lot of heart, this one's for you. The story follows a burned-out musician with a prosthetic hand who stumbles into the strange orbit of his downstairs neighbor - and from there, things get weird fast.
Set in a rundown apartment complex filled with all kinds of characters (some working stiffs, some shady types, and others just lost), the film creates a world that feels like David Lynch got punk-rock roommates and decided to make a sci-fi comedy. It's a slow burn at first, but once the neighbor shows up, the film kicks into gear - and never lets go.
What makes this movie really stand out is its DIY spirit. From the opening scenes (including a hilarious "office farewell" that sets the tone), you know you're in for something unconventional. It embraces its rough edges and turns them into charm. The writing's strange in the best way, the acting raw but real, and the vibe is all underground grit with a twisted sense of humor.
This deserves cult status. It's not for everyone - but if you like your films weird, funny, and totally unfiltered (without needing big budgets or Hollywood polish), give this one a watch. It's a punk rock midnight movie waiting to happen.
