27.9.: Part of Night of the 1000 pumpkins
When Texas Chain Saw meets Monty Python—and Les Misérables—in this totally bonkers blood-and-guts musical from Estonia, virtually everything—and more—can happen. Newly in love, Maria and Tom are separated by the attack of Killer—whose name says it all. In order to find each other, they have to face not only the psychopath-with-a-heart but also all the other (im)possible characters that roam the area. What do we learn from this? Grannies are highly flammable, not all finger-food is enjoyable and life’s like a pipe: It has two ends. Sander Maran, what a wise and insane guy you are! (tt)
In attendance of Sander Maran (director) and Kaur Maran (producer) (27.9.)
