Summary
Aliens hunting humans inside a tent that smells of cotton candy shatter the town’s silence. Directed by Stephen Chiodo, this film blends the aesthetic of ’80s B-movies with a neon-colored nightmare. Set against the backdrop of an ice cream truck and shadow plays, the narrative blends horror and humor in perfect balance.
An ordinary hangout spot for teenagers quickly turns into the epicenter of absurdity. At this strange intersection of science fiction and humor, a sense of menacing otherness lurking behind the clown makeup engulfs the entire town.
