[Director] Orr pulls out all the stops, even when he should leave them in, and the result is a joke that can't quite sustain the movie's running time.

Looking for alternative fuels? This one will cost an arm and a leg (but not necessarily yours).

This ingenious heir to Roger Corman's 'Little Shop of Horrors' and 'Bucket of Blood' literalizes the idea that the comfort and clout that Americans enjoy are the benefits of a Faustian blood-for-oil contract to which all of us are de facto signees.

Wonderful idea but after an hour it becomes tiresome and trite. Also, could've done without watching children being shot on screen. Bad form I say!
