Kasper Meltedhair’s Busted Babies is going to be a real bitch and a half to try and explain to you cats n’ creeps, but here fuckin’ goes…
“______” (Kasper Meltedhair), is a strange lady possessing horns, polka dot skin, and strap-on bat wings.
Our heroine can also turn babies to glass… which is of interest to a dancing gaggle of suited dudes that gain immortality when showered in the broken glass babies…
Things get stranger as our non-linear, fever-dream narrative takes us through a world of bizarre folks (creatures?) that inhabit a world of odd punk rock shows, bizarre parties, and absolute brazen insanity.
They way this psychotronic whirlwind is presented is as imaginative as it is mind-shatteringly weird.
Kasper Meltedhair goes all in on creating a world unto it’s own, filtered through a low-fi, S.O.V. style that at times come across like our favorite drive-in flicks of yore (complete with bands providing padding) mixed with animation, unique yet simple make-up work, and a delightful disreguard for conventional storytelling.
Now, I’m not going to lie to your arcane asses and say this is a film for everyone, ‘cuz it clearly ain’t… but if you want to see a truly original piece of outre fiction done exactly as an artist sees fit (produced in a manner near and dear to our shot on video lovin’ hearts), then I’d urge you to take the plunge into Busted Babies!
Supplemental material included on this Blu-ray release also include a glimpse behind-the-scenes of the film’s production, a collection of outtakes, a short film from Meltedhair, a segment featuring legendary S.O.V. auteur Donald Farmer (who also acts in Busted Babies), and a collection of trailers for other films from Blood Sick Productions.
If you’re in the right frame of mind (an unreasonably altered frame would be ideal), then shove questionable goo in your eyes and sit right down in front of Busted Babies for an artistic pile-driver to the senses!
