Plot
Through flashbacks we see why a young man, Fenix (Jodorowsky), is locked up in an asylum: his youth saw him witness the chopping off of limbs, incest, suicide, murder, and all manner of circus freakery.

Verdict
A knowing bag of limbs from thrown together from horror and thriller films far and wide. Revolting yet impressive.
