"imagine if the Sarlaac from "Star Wars" had a baby with the alien from " Mac and Me, " nipples and boils everywhere, diaper oozing wet shit, just a gaping hole full of hotdogs where his dick should be), or even how brutally it treats the sex slave's elementary school-age daughter, Belinda, who will be cooked in an oven if her mom doesn't comply with their captor's demands)."
"No, the most controversial aspect of "Fuck My Son!" is that it uses some very crude and obvious AI for what amounts to roughly 90 seconds of screen time. A number of festival viewers were outraged. I guess some things are just too obscene for audiences to stomach. Like everything else in Rohal's film, the AI-afflicted scenes are designed to triple-underline their own grotesqueness."
"A prologue modeled after an AMC theater pre-show ("No jacking off in the theater," "Do not pee or crap in your seat," "Our restrooms are now closed") is filled out with inhuman crowds, while the characters from Bernice's favorite show - a "Veggietales"-esque abomination called "The Meatie Mates" - pop up throughout the movie in increasingly artificial form, their every appearance better reflecting the ghoulish slop that today's children eagerly consume on YouTube."
A grotesque film centers on a gun-packing mother who forces a random woman to have sex with her monstrous, malformed son and threatens the woman's elementary-age daughter with being cooked if she does not comply. The movie revels in bad taste and disturbing body-horror imagery, including explicit descriptions of the son's deformities. A brief sequence uses crude, obvious AI for roughly 90 seconds, provoking festival viewers. AI scenes appear in a faux AMC pre-show and through recurring, artificial children's-program characters called the Meatie Mates. The AI is used as a formal critique of soulless modern art and contemporary children's media rather than as a shortcut.
