A darkly poetic fable that begins with a little girl drawing figures of people with chalk on the cement of a playground. She takes notice of an unusual crack in the pavement that is seeping a mysterious black fluid, which she follows to an ominous building. Inside, she encounters several bizarre phenomena, including walls that bleed black and tentacles that emerge from the ceiling to touch her. She then witnesses the birth of five terrifying supernatural beings that threaten the existence of her world.

한 여성이 술에 잔뜩 취해서 집으로 돌아온다. 그녀는 불이 켜진 집을 보며, 베이비시터의 부주의함을 툴툴거린다. 집 안으로 들어서자 그녀는 믿을 수 없는 상황에 직면한다. 원시인처럼 생긴 몇명의 아이들이 집을 점령했고, 베이비시터는 무참하게 토막이 난 채 살해당했다. 그리고 자신의 아이는 비닐봉지에 쓰레기처럼 담겨 있다. 이들은 숲에서 짐승처럼 살아가는 무리다. 몇몇 아이들과 남녀 성인까지 일종의 가족을 이루고 있다. 배가 고프면 숲에서 내려와 다양한 방법으로 인간을 사냥한다. 잡아온 인간은 뜯어먹거나 국을 끓여 먹고, 성인 남자는 동굴 속에 묶어두고 종족 번식을 위한 섹스 인형으로 활용한다. 이 무리의 리더는 흉악하게 생긴 여성이다. 야생에서 살아가는 이들의 삶은 문명비판이나 자연으로의 회귀를 주장하거나, 호러의 소재로 주로 활용된다. 전자는 타락하지 않은 순수성을 앞세우지만, 호러의 소재로 선택되는 순간 주제는 돌변한다. 늘 강조되는 것은 무자비한 식인 풍습이다. 인간이 인간을 먹어치우는 것은 살육과 죽음 이상의 공포를 만들어낸다.

A low-budget film crew working in New York City find themselves being preyed upon by a sexually conflicted serial killer.

Acting as both pseudo-sequel to, and remake of, Cutting Moments, Buck's follow-up changes the focus from the matriarch to the father... or, more fittingly, the many fathers... and the sins they pass down. Eschews explicit violence for a more psychological approach, to a no less harrowing result.

A darkly humorous black and white tale of a young boy, unable to fit in, finally realizing his calling while watching animals killing each other on nature documentaries. Raw non-sync early effort, interesting as an early and funny example of Buck's forays into continuing themes of painful isolation, suburban disassociation and the inherent violence that can follow.
