Certified Crap. CrapScore 63, rated by 1 admin.
Higher CrapScores mean more entertainingly bad. How we score movies.
A superhero team named Tobacco Force goes on a retreat and trades disturbing stories while another threat gathers elsewhere. Quentin Dupieux treats rubber-suited action and absurd conversational detours with the same calm seriousness. A deliberately fragmented comedy for viewers who enjoy a story taking the least expected exit.

Synopsis and movie facts
After a devastating battle against a diabolical turtle, a team of five avengers — known as the "Tobacco Force" — is sent on a mandatory retreat to strengthen their decaying group cohesion, where they share scary stories the film depicts. Their storytelling sojourn goes wonderfully well until Lézardin, Emperor of Evil, decides to annihilate planet Earth.
