Santa Sangre (1989) streamed on Prime - 4/5
This movie is insane, some spoilers ahead...
This is about a circus family in Mexico. The father cheats on his wife with a hot lady covered in tattoo's so she burns his dick off with acid so he cuts her arms off while their son watches. He's already watched his beloved Elephant pass away and just after his mother is cut up by his father he see's his father stumble dickless onto the street naked and cut his own throat and then watches helplessly as his childhood love, a mute girl is taken away by the tattoo lady his father was having an affair with. He spends several years in an Asylum until one day they take some of the patients to a movie. But for some reason this kid ends up doing a coke with a bunch of guys who have down syndrome and then he gets reunited with his armless mother who he thought was dead. He begins to act as her arms, literally, standing behind her as she tells him what to do acting as her arms, and then they french kiss at one point.
I won't tell any more, it's just fucking insane. You should see this. I debate on giving this the full five stars but there are some production elements that are a little bit off even for 89 that could have been better. Still, fucking insane. On the same shelf as Eraserhead.
