Wastes its premise while offering little more than a sparkling Henson performance to distract us from the underwritten screenplay.

The screenwriter’s guiding hand is too obviously present and becomes an impediment to any appreciation of the characters’ evolutions.

The director’s macabre flourishes and garish visuals can’t completely camouflage the hollow space at the production’s core.

Esoteric qualities don’t merit an unqualified recommendation for a production more apt to deliver frustration than gratification.
