Dicknado

Unknown

A strange weather phenomenon causes dread and desperate behavior.

Dicknado is a surreal, subversive experiment from cult provocateur Bill Zebub--an underground auteur known for transforming shock cinema into strangely philosophical art. On the surface, it's the story of a bizarre weather event shaped like something unspeakably vulgar, tearing through Clifton, New Jersey, and leaving behind chaos, existential dread, and a population descending into desperation. But beneath its absurd premise, Zebub delivers something closer to a fevered Greek morality play than a standard B-movie parody.

As the "storm" consumes the landscape, Dicknado unfolds as a darkly comic meditation on change, identity, and human frailty. Those who confront the unknown are swept into transformation, while those who resist it are destroyed--a theme Zebub frames through long, theatrical dialogue and static compositions that recall the structure of ancient tragedy. Far from simple exploitation, the film questions what it means to face one's inner turbulence when nature itself becomes obscene.

Starring Brielle Edborg and Mel Heflin, Dicknado blurs the line between lowbrow parody and experimental cinema. The film's deliberately confrontational tone and hypnotic pacing make it both maddening and mesmerizing--a work that invites laughter, discomfort, and interpretation in equal measure.

The Blu-ray release features over two hours of behind-the-scenes footage, giving fans an intimate look at Zebub's guerrilla filmmaking process, his improvisational directing style, and the chaotic creativity that fuels his cult legacy. Visually abrasive, philosophically confounding, and defiantly unique, Dicknado stands as another unpredictable entry in the strange, uncompromising world of Bill Zebub.
