Dastan can no longer stand the constant nagging of his highly pregnant wife and decides to run away for at least one day with his friends -- a would-be businessman, and a district police officer. The men decide to go fishing and everything would have gone smoothly, if not for a series of unforeseen, sudden, incomprehensible, violent, and irreversible events.

1/5

In the absence of actual jokes, the actors seem to have been directed to yell lines at each other, as if that will make them funny. Take Paracetamol, not popcorn.

Nurgaliev mixes many different horror tones, sometimes with freaky and funny sharing the same exact shot; the cinematography has a gripping starkness throughout, further suggesting an exciting high-brow approach to inspired low-brow thrills.

This is an earnest, often puerile and occasionally very gory little odyssey which explores relationships and friendships, albeit through a funny, well-realised and farcical lens.

4/5

This gloriously gory horror-comedy from Kazakhstan may be in a foreign language, but still, the subject of rites of passage and facing up to your responsibilities are universal and the gags even more so.

3.5/5

Male bonding comedy combined with the horror staples of creepy gas station and disfigured maniac in the redneck swamps. Oh yes: this film certainly delivers a gory-slapstick cocktail

Billed at the 25th celebration of the Fantasia International Film Festival as "The Hangover" meets "Texas Chainsaw Massacre," is not what I saw. For one, I didn't want to see THAT movie. That is, not unless chainsaws were used in "The Hangover."
