Anyone who has seen the quick yet horrifying Mr. Hands clip that circulated the internet has probably had its ghastly imagery tattooed in their memories for a lifetime. After learning of the incident, one cannot help but wonder what happened that led to it, and why was it filmed? How did the man get to that point in his life? Where was this place? Was it an illegal animal sex farm where people could go to have their kinkiest bestial fantasies fulfilled? It is impossible not to speculate. I was interested when I found out that there was going to be a documentary film called Zoo, which focused on the bizarre, fateful recorded moment in time. The more I heard about it, the more it became one of my most anticipated films of 2007. Well, it was released on Tuesday and I got my, um, hands on a copy via Netflix. I was hoping for a thoughtful exploration of what the hell happened the night that video was recorded. Unfortunately, Zoo is a frustrating mess of a movie.
