Plot

Two cannibals/health food diner owners are on a wacky quest to restore life to the five million year old goddess Shitaar. Aided by their uncle's brain and penis, the two set about getting the required parts - virgins, assorted body parts from whores, and the ingredients for a "blood buffet". Their adversaries are the police: the chief with a Russian accent, the "player" detective, and the new Yorker with an Australian accent.

Why watch

Two brothers, owners of a health food diner, embark on a bizarre quest to resurrect an ancient goddess using body parts and a menu of human delicacies. The film unfolds in a whirlwind of absurdity, where the line between horror and comedy blurs, leaving viewers in stitches while questioning their own moral compass.
