It’s Official: Crispin Glover is f*ckin’ crazy! Sure, ever since he was McFly in the BACK TO THE FUTURE series, we knew he was a little off. And yes, as the creepy thin man in CHARLIE’S ANGELS, we saw just how crazy he could be. Now, with his directorial debut featured at the Sundance Film Festival entitled WHAT IS IT?, it’s been confirmed that the guy’s a frickin’ nut!
Trevor Groth of The Sundace Film Festival describes it as a Dadaist deconstruction of the hero’s journey as well as a hallucinogenic trip deep into the mind of its bizarre creator. It is a thoroughly challenging visual experience as well as a compelling allegory for society and its outcasts. As the visual absurdity of the film rides along at a fever pitch, Glover’s innate humanism injects the seemingly inhuman scenario with a deep pathos that captures the viewers’ attention and consideration. Truly one of the most original films ever created, What Is It? will shock, intrigue, confound, disturb, and amaze even the most jaded viewers..
Or the short version by Glover himself: “Being the adventures of a young man whose principal interests are snails, salt, a pipe, and how to get home, as tormented by an hubristic racist inner psyche.”

What ever it is, it’s f*cked up. Just take a look at these pics from the flick, and this R Rated Trailer. Naked chicks, Downs Syndrome, some Satanic Shit… for once, a movie title that really captures the movie itself…. WHAT IS IT? hits Sundance January 28th…
