YMMV / The Last Days of Coney Island

• Broken Base: Viewers of the film are divided on its extremely rough art and animation style. Some love it for its raw energy and expressiveness and feel it matches the tone of the film, while others hate it for its unpolished, choppy and all around crude look, going as far as accusing the film of being a sloppy and unfinished rushjob.
• Crosses the Line Twice: In the opening, the clip of John F. Kennedy's assassination getting played three times in a row. It, along with the rest of the grisly imagery and dialogue in the opening, makes it clear right off the bat that the film does not intend to depict a rose tinted view of the 1960's.
• Nightmare Fuel: Shorty going ballistic and chopping his mother and the clown she had sex with into pieces. The expressions Shorty makes when he flies into an Unstoppable Rage are downright terrifying, and his killing of them is downright brutal—Its all on-screen, and it is very gory.
• Tear Jerker: Molly's death at the hands of Shorty, and Max getting arrested and framed for her murder.
• Too Bleak, Stopped Caring: There isn't a single major character who is even remotely sympathetic, most of them have incredibly violent and short tempers, and every character's motivations are selfish and petty. Due to the incredibly dark tone of this movie, it can be hard to care about anyone in it who isn't an extra.
