The premise

The Hollowheads are a strange, futuristic family that live in a Jetsons type world complete with many cool gadgets. Henry is hoping for a promotion at the slime factory in which he works and decides to bring his boss home for dinner and to meet the family. Henry's perverted boss doesn't know what he's up against when he tries to make advances with Mrs. Hollowhead

Horror Vault's take

In a gleefully bizarre alternate future, the Hollowhead family navigates the peculiar rhythms of their grotesque yet oddly familiar domestic life — until an ill-advised dinner invitation turns a simple evening upside down. When patriarch Henry brings his lecherous boss home hoping to secure a promotion, the household's eccentric energy collides spectacularly with the unwelcome guest's bad intentions. Part twisted sitcom, part surrealist sci-fi nightmare, this cult oddity gleefully skewers the American family ideal through a lens smeared with slime and dark humor. Fans of offbeat, boundary-pushing genre hybrids will find plenty to savor in its defiantly weird worldbuilding.
