* CultClassic: Though the film is quite controversial for its subject matter among many critics and audiences alike, it has attributed a sizable fanbase by those who enjoy its no-holds-barred take on SurrealHorror.
* DarknessInducedAudienceApathy: A common criticism -- critical reviews noted that eventually the barrage of horror takes the edge off itself. [[CausticCritic Critics]] like WebVideo/TheMysteriousMrEnter and WebVideo/{{PhantomStrider}} refuse to review the movie, with the former saying that making it an Animated Atrocity [[InsultToRocks is too good of an honor for it]], and the latter turning it off after the first ten minutes.

ZCE and self-contradiction.


* NightmareFuel: Of the highest caliber.
** However, the poor animation and bad voice acting made this NightmareRetardant for some people.

Shortly after, he returns to the well and breaks down in front of the Smiling Man, who comforts him.]]

not sure what this has to do with the premise.


* AudienceAlienatingPremise: Considering the horrific imagery that populated the entirety of the film, its not hard to see why this film's so divisive. To make matters worse, a major criticism is that it relies far too heavily on cheap shock value rather than clever scares.

* CrossesTheLineTwice: According to the creator, the first short was partly an attempt at this, but production focused more on the horror aspect afterwards. He mostly averted this in the later two shorts. Arguably the film as a whole crosses the line '''[[UpToEleven three]]''' times back into material that's too disturbing for [[BrainBleach anyone to ever want to remember.]]

** Also inverted: Some of the more disturbing moments in the rest of anthology were intended as jokes.



* WhatDoYouMeanItWasntMadeOnDrugs: Or, at least, really hard drugs, rather than cannabis [[WordofGod (as he admits)]]?
* TheWoobie:
** Sophia and the hooker definitely, with Ralph and Tommy as maybes.
** The main protagonist in the second short. He may be a crazy SerialKiller with confusing intentions, but he is easily one of the more sympathetic characters in the entire film, if but for his inner suffering and the torment those strange creatures seem to be putting him through.

I don't think he was striking out against that trope, and to call him an incompetent is at best uncalled for.


* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: In theory, an animated horror movie was an interesting idea, and could have been a major statement against the AnimationAgeGhetto if it had been done competently.
