A deeply unsettling story that challenges the presumptions about life we all share. I am always intrigued by stories about, or from the perspective of, those whose perspectives and motivations cannot be understood through a human lens, as it inspires great introspection into our own nature and the human condition. Regardless of whether you are a fan of the film which inspired this story, I would wholeheartedly recommend it.
