Harmony Korine's new video game-inspired nightmare is wildly, oppressively hypnotic.

The edgelords at the EDGLRD production house feel less like traditional filmmakers, more like a collective of media enthusiasts running wackadoodle experiments.

The film, like video games themselves, exists in a violent world that adopts the language of mass media.

Baby Invasion is an arresting experience — up to a point.

Film is self-reflexive about who its audience is and who the participants in the stream might be.

Film verges on offering Korine carte blanche to do, essentially, whatever he wants in the realm of cinematic debauchery.
