Living in a small Aslaksan town, a man and his mother concoct a scam to get through life under the pretense of being sellers of illicit content for others as a pretense to lure them back to their apartment so they can kill and eat them, eventually drawing a detective onto their trail.
This was a severely disappointing though still watchable genre outing. Among the only things going for this one is the brutality and depravity of what's going on, from the torturing of the victims and the aftermath of the situation. The sense of normality that emerges from how they target, seduce, and begin ripping them to pieces with a sense of satisfaction throughout their operations, they carry out, taking out various street peddlers, homeless people, and other types before brutally dismembering and serving up body parts as they go along, makes everything feel grimy and disturbing. With the protracted gore in the kills and how the whole thing goes into a depraved tone with relative ease, there are some likable factors to his one. Beyond that, though, this one does manage to stumble quite a bit with one of the least interesting and charismatic killers ever. That stumbles the film significantly, where it doesn't make anything he does all that interesting, going around a community not doing much to hide his proclivities, yet never managing to get caught merely to keep the plot moving. He doesn't have any sympathetic quirks or doses of humanity that are necessary to help draw one away from the inhumane acts that are being committed, yet none of that occurs here, as it just moves from one scam to another in a slew of grimy seduction scenes, bland voiceover narration, and body parts. That keeps it feeling dull and uninteresting for quite a long stretch, holding it down all the more.
