Every year is "The Culling" where enemies of the Van Der Koy family are rounded up and killed. It was this that left Boy an orphan. He has vivid memories of his sister Mina (Quinn Copeland) who he interacts with like an "invisible friend".
Boy is deaf-mute and we hear his inner monologue and conversation with Mina in the 'awesome' voice (H. Jon Benjamin) he remembers from the video game "Super Dragon Punch Force 3".
One day while selling their produce in the city he witnesses the beginning of another culling cycle.
No good will come of this.
CW: ultraviolence, body parts everwhere and all the big swears
Every now and then somebody thinks "let's turn a video game into a movie" and this time it's Moritz Mohr's turn. To be clear I'm not talking about something like "The Last of Us" but more "Super Dragon Punch Force 3".
There's almost no story just a stylised orgy of killing, played for comedy and the wince factor. There's uniformed henchmen, various family members are weird gurning caricatures like you'd see in a cut scene and Boy ends up with a knuckleduster/pistol combo that shoots everything he punches.
It's great.
The mute inner monologue thing is an interesting way to have LOTS of dialogue and one-liners when the situation would normally demand you couldn't have any. However when there's a character he can't "lip read" and this gets substituted with crude gobbledegook it gets a bit bad taste.
Not something I can imagine ever watching again but I'm glad I did 7/10.
