Ken is an average guy who works at an average office job. But he starts to get pains in his stomach whenever he feels stressed out. Things get worse every time he tries to just hide his stress, by burying it inside. It all comes to a head when that "stress" is turned in to an actual little beast that exits his body via his butt and takes revenge on the things that stress him out. But it soon starts to threaten the one thing he loves, his wife.
Boring and irrelevant.
I watched that due to IMDb reviews comparing it to Gremlins or Killer Clowns from Outer Space. My bad.
I gave up after half an hour of poop humour. And not a single smile. I can only take so much anus-centred jokes in so short a time span.
Comparing that dumb script to some of the most imaginative movies I have ever seen doesn't make any sense to me. Apart for the lack of ideas and surprises, the direction and acting are also largely inferior, albeit decent. Either that, or the cast does a good job portraying unbelievable characters as requested by their director, I wonder. Nobody seems real, instead they feel like people from a dream. In short, I didn't feel involved at all, and at the same time I was put off by the monomaniacal childish scatology.
At least, it's technically good enough to avoid the lowest note.
