Likewise, Jason Momoa’s Cuban accent is just bad. There’s a scene after she’s dropped acid where her voice resonates and echoes for about 3 minutes and it’s harrowing to hear. Waterhouse as Arlen is believable as a hardened desert-wandered, acting with her face (and arse) for the most part, and she does a good job delivering her performance as an amputee – her Southern accent, however…shudder.

It suffers from awry pacing decisions and a lack of restraint at times, the movie is too long for what it’s trying to achieve and the balance between too much and not enough isn’t entirely successful – the music placements are at times bizarre and the shift from no dialogue to too much doesn’t hit. There’s lots going on without any real depth or purpose, really. The Bad Batch is a strange movie, an uneven movie, probably a movie destined to be known as a ‘cult’ movie in years to come. What begins as a brutal, silent cannibal thriller bleeds into a chase for a pet rabbit ending in pregnant captives and a family BBQ.
What she doesn’t bargain on is Honey’s man-mountain of a father, Miami Man (Momoa), stalking the desert in search of his daughter with vengeance in his soul.Īcid in the desert, pet rabbits, harems, poo – it’s all part of The Bad Batch. Months pass, and during a leisurely stroll through the desert, Arlen comes across one of the cannibals, Maria (Ross), from the scrapyard and promptly blows her brains out, taking her daughter Honey (Fink) to Comfort. There’s noodles for $1 and raves held by DJ Jimmy (Luna) to keep the cult, I mean residents, placated.

Mmmm, Suki steak.Įventually escaping, wheeling free by skateboard, she is found by a filthy Hermit (Carrey) who takes her to another makeshift town, known as Comfort – a town run by the magnificently named The Dream (Reeves) who promises a comfortable life if you wish, and no bother to anyone who resides there – however, “you can’t enter the dream, unless the dream enters you”, a slogan that later is revealed as literal. As she wanders the sweltering desert, she is eventually abducted and taken to a scrapyard town where she is given a friendly welcome – the inhabitants cut off one of her arms and legs and eat them. She’s part of the ‘Bad Batch’, a group deemed unfit to be declared US citizens – murderers, illegal immigrants, drug dealers, the undesirable sorts. Arlen (Waterhouse) is dumped in an uncontrolled area outside of US jurisdiction with nothing but a cheeseburger (that looked tasty though) and her thoughts.
