“the Bad Batch” plus a hermit excellently played by an unknown Jim Carrey returns to reveal his incredible acting skills when not forced to serve in silly clown, there are two sides: one composed of carnivores who hunt unwary and newcomers and they eat slowly, especially upper and lower limbs but also viscera; and other guarded with light weapons and volunteer guards, called Comfort, where designer drugs, raves, some animals like rabbits and where those who reject cannibalism.
The situation Samantha (Waterhouse in a tremendous leading premiere) is that it is hunted just entering the exclusion zone, but with a couple of amputees members, manages to escape and reach Comfort, where Keanu Reeves officiating high priest and holder of power and money, managing ecstasy in the form free and cultivating for himself precious flowers of marijuana in a palace also guarded where it maintains a harem and lives in luxury.
