Like Lucio Fulci directed _Face-Off_. Like some hybrid of _Riki-Oh_ and _Pee-Wee’s Playhouse._ Like a children’s film from another dimension. What if Jim Carrey channeled both Bugs Bunny and Anton Chigur in that universe? What if that dimension had the white Stephen Chow? There’s no need to wonder any longer. You can find the answers in _Ernest Goes to Jail._
