Peculiar Romantic Fantasy

Rating: 8/10 (7 April 2018)

(Flash Review)
This is a fantastical tale of how two very unlikely 'beings' fell in love. Taking place in the 1960's an amphibious creature with dynamite eyes that blink sideways!, has been captured to be experimented upon at a highly secure facility. A mute janitor, with pretty loose access to the heavily locked laboratory, sparks a relationship with the creature. They are alike in that they both have limited means for communication and oh yeah, she learns it really likes eating eggs. Will this strange relationship flourish? Will the men in charge allow this to continue? Will the creature ever be freed? The film's visual tone is bold and compliments the aquatic theme, had many dreamy scenes in water, the camera felt like it was ever-moving as if you were floating in water yourself and an endless rain plays into the water theme as well. Contributing to the overall strangeness were several odd and overt sexual innuendos that tie into the story. There were a few short moments of alarming blood and gore, which didn't seem to advance the story and felt jarring. Overall, this was top notch acting, visually memorable and a pleasant change from the norm.
