🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs its dystopia through the gritty, low-budget aesthetic of 80s television and music videos, relying on rapid cuts and artificial visuals. It explores media manipulation and corporate greed with a sharp, satirical edge.

What lingers after the credits is the uncanny accuracy of its predictions about a ratings-obsessed culture. A clever and prescient piece of cyberpunk satire. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Rocky Morton
