torture, mutilation: it's all in the family, really
Links: AFFF / imdb
It's clear what the writers had in mind: take common family values like "respect your parents", "do your chores" etc, and take this to the extreme. So Dad has a slaughterroom in which he likes to chop you up if you don't listen to him, mum loves carving skin ("beautiful, like spiderwebs"), they randomly kill people or merely mutilate them horribly. When you would read the dialogues without (description of) the images, it could be any bit-oldfashioned family.
The idea is well-executed, the story and film are amusing enough to keep you watching, but I don't consider it a gem. No big flaws, but no truly impressive aspects either.
