Never originally intended the film for home viewing outside of the full Inferno program, so please try to watch on a big screen, in a dark setting, at a loud volume... Came across this zine on MURDERDRONE while doing research, figuring out how I would approach it. Reading this and watching a few films really unlocked this spirit of senseless, faceless, cyclical violence I wanted to create. Wanted to echo the spirit of punishment in that circle:
More shades were here than anywhere above,
And from both sides, to the sound of their own screams,
straining their chests, they rolled enormous weights.
And when they met and clashed against each other
They turned to push the other way, one side
screaming, "Why hoard?," the other side, "Why waste?"
And so they moved back round the gloomy circle,
returning on both sides to opposite poles
to scream their shameful tune another time;
again they came to clash and turn and roll
forever in their semicircle joust.
