Three tales of mental unbalance loosely tied together by Narrator Malcolm McDowell as the head head doctor.
The first one is a completely skippable tale of an artist who makes paper mache doll art. The dolls start talking to him, his advisers may be plotting against him and I didn't give much of a fuck for any of it.
The second story is a little better. This one features Chris Mulkey as a fucked up father that makes his American Beauty character look like a friggin Saint. Lacey Chabert is also in this one as the teacher of Mulkeys son and well, I mean look at her, just look at her. The story itself takes a while to get going and the subject matter is pretty disturbing but it's good.
Story number three stars Lou Diamond Phillips as a Professor who goes mad thinking the world is about to end. Phillips is absolutely fantastic in this, the films longest segment.
Skip the first segment and instead focus on the final two. They all play independently enough of each other that you wont miss anything important.
