I was pretty surprised that this film was turned out to be an anti-racist movie! The story is simple enough that an African American Chris goes to his Caucasian girlfriend Rose's parent home where everyone victimizes African Americans for their body transformation. The killers' motive is more religious cult than human trafficking. This topic is common in the latest Asian films which criticizing stealing parts of victims' bodies to sell for upper class millionaires. This film's technical feature is pretty common. For instance, the most crafted VFX is when hypnotized Chris draws into the liquefied floor in a flush back sequence. The surreal expression is well done in this sequence. I'm afraid of this filmmaker's courage to make a white versus black film in present. However it is not that kind of propaganda, it just belongs to black comedy. And it also embodies ideological racial phobia of Caucasians after the Obama regime appeared in US history. It deeply expressed the Caucasian's racial fear to more empowered African Americans and their historical revenge. This film physiologically well expressed Caucasian's minds in the US society in the post Obama era.
