Warning: Spoilers
The film takes place in Slough Town, Wa. "where everybody dies". It is pronounced "slew" Town. After the death of her parents, Nina (Sanae Loutsis) lives with her estranged Aunt Erma Ritz (Joy Yaholkovsky). Erma is good friends with June (Tabitha Bastien) who works at "the club" for Ash Walker (Earl Gray) local drug dealer and human trafficker. He has designs on Nina.

Meanwhile Milton Treadwill (Jonathan Holbrook) a seven-foot-tall, 350-pound man escapes from the local asylum. He is our serial killer, director, and writer. Nina is obsessed with the story of the Rabbit King, which our killer becomes while wearing the clothes of a dead man with the name tag of "Harvey", shades of Mary Chase.

The film is long. We know the background of all the main characters. There were some good one-liners in the film, although their delivery left something to be desired. The film didn't seem to be operating on all cylinders. The acting was bland, which worked well for the sheriff, but none of the other line readers. The director was not able to get the most out of his cast, perhaps being too busy in his role.

Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity.
