By the end of this film, you realise that the only way it possibly makes sense as a script is if it's supposed to be a horror in the classic sebse about a man's psychological breakdown and wilful self destruction. On the way, the comedic moments that seem like cheap gags suddenly seem like very black comedy.
But that doesn't make it a good film. For this kind of psychological study to be anything other than cheap voyeurism for the audience, you have to establish the situation that is the starting point for the descent and what the triggers are. It felt like there was no effective exposition of why he might be heading on this downhill trajectory. Sure, he was seeing a shrink but doesn't everyone?
Ultimately it's a film with an original concept, but incomplete and messy in its execution.
