They discuss the films use of powerful use of imagery of insectoid aliens to highlight how humans often dehumanize entire populations, the horror of the oppressor becoming the oppressed, and the films nightmarish body horror leading to realizations in the audiences mind. This film is a blend of sci-fi and reality that will hit home for audiences in a truly Messed Up fashion.
