Bizarre horror movie about a man who allows a parasite to give
him hallucinatory pleasures in return for helping the creature to feast on brain matter.
The movie is clearly an allegory for drug/alcohol abuse with
some rather grizzly death scenes. It's all quite ridiculous and can't be taken at all seriously, but it's still rather good.
Perhaps it's a good idea to remove brain before watching...
Just in case.
