“Extermination is not just a business. It's a way of life”

ComedyCrimeHorror

A pair of whacked-out cartoon-like exterminator/hitmen kill the owner of a burglar-alarm company, and stalk the partner who hired them, his wife, and a nerd framed for the murder, who tells the story in flashback from the electric chair.

VIBE

A dizzying, low-budget crime caper that spirals into pure, unadulterated chaos. Expect escalating absurdity, frantic energy, and a relentless barrage of gags that feel both inspired and utterly unhinged. It’s a wild ride from start to finish.
