If you never heard of the movie was for a very simple reason: It isn't an american production. It was actually from Spain. Fantastic Factory was a very curious experiment on Spain back on the early 2000s, when Filmax (One of the main distributors/producers in Spain) wanted to expand its market of Horror Movies, making our own movies. I have 3 of the 9 films: Faust, Dagon (Which is a weird adaptation of "The Shadow over Innsmouth" with a pinch of "Dagon"), and Rottweiller (A Sci-Fi/Action adaptation of a spanish 70s book about a prisoner who is being chased by a Rottweiller whose last order of his owner was to hunt and kill the prisoner).

I love this movie. It's just the right blend of talent and awful, awful decisions, cheapness and interesting concepts.

This movie feels very late 1990's than early 2000's. The effects and the cinematography feel like "The Guyver"

"Oh, I make such a mess when I play," is lifted straight from the comic, as it happens. Yes, I read the comic in my early 90s edge lord youth and liked it then because...well, did I mention I was young and trying to be edgy? Amazing artwork, if nothing else.
