An awkward young shipping clerk (Ryan Reynolds) goes off his strict regimen of antipsychotics — with horrifyingly hilarious results — in this deliciously twisted horror-comedy from acclaimed director and graphic novelist Marjane Satrapi (Persepolis, Chicken with Plums).

This genre-bending tale centres around Jerry, a lovable but disturbed factory worker who yearns for attention from a woman in accounting. When their relationship takes a sudden, murderous turn, Jerry’s evil talking cat and benevolent talking dog lead him down a fantastical path where he ultimately finds salvation.

From the fecund imagination of Marjane Satrapi (Persepolis) comes this very twisted horror-comedy about an awkward young shipping clerk, his talking pets, and the things that can happen when you suddenly stop taking your medication.
