YMMV / Footrot Flats

Go To

  • Squick: The strip didn't hide from some of the grosser aspects of working on a farm, particularly the recurring threat of sheep becoming fly-struck and having to have their maggot-infested flesh cut away.
  • Toy Ship: Pongo and Rangi.

Footrot Flats: The Dog's Tale provides examples of:

  • Awesome Music: "Slice of Heaven" by Dave Dobbyn and Herbs.
  • Nightmare Fuel: Everything about the Murphy's farm, which was scary enough in the comic strips but comes across as a full-blown Eldritch Location in the film given the thoroughly creepy score, the croco pigs, the Murphy's pig dogs (which are treated far more seriously than in the comics) and the dour, run-down nature of the place. It's also revealed to be the home of the Screeching & cackling rats, led by Vernon the Vermin.
