What is Mr. Pickles about?
The Goodman family lives with their lovable pet dog, Mr. Pickles, a deviant border collie with a secret satanic streak.
A seemingly innocent family dog harbors a satanic secret, leading to darkly comedic and absurd situations.
Surreal and campy, with dark satire. A late-night trip at a measured pace. Emotionally it carries some weight.
