As other reviewers mentioned, this is an original movie. The concept is interesting, there are surprises and a twist i didn't see it coming. Kwanten's acting is wacky and weird, but this is a weird and insane movie and he did what he was supposed to do a character like "Wes". This is not a comedy-horror movie although there are many funny lines and scenes. I liked the comedy element and, generally, this movie kept my interest.
However, it's flawed. Just because it's original, doesn't mean that it's also brilliant. Or even just clever. There are moments that it was getting too weird/bizarre. I love weird/bizarre movies but, in order for a weird movie to be good, writers and directors should handle the subject very carefully and deftly/skilfully. Or else, their movie will look like a parody of what they imagined and try to achieve. There is a line between originality and creativity and this movie didn't cross it.
Too many movies, too little time. There are better movies to watch. However, if you have plenty of time and you love weird and original movies, you will probably like it. It's not a bad /dumb movie and, mainly, it makes sense. There are many movies today that, unfortunately, don't make much sense.

Originality in the universe
This was quite an interesting, quirky and original little film. Great concept with decent special effects, cgi and acting.
The main character, while you can tell he is a good actor, at times felt a little bit... too over the top. This could have been the directing or lack there of, who knows. It also got a bit repetitive in the middle which slowed it down a bit. I found the twist interesting and unexpected and it drew very interesting parallels within the concept that I appreciated.
Regardless, it was entertaining and a breath of fresh air as far as the originality of the concept goes. Would recommend.
Glory-Hole Eldergod?
I didn't think the set up would be as interesting as it was. It was a very unusual film. Like it's not a traditional horror, and doesn't really have anything scary going on, but I wouldn't know what else to call it either. So I can see why this film might not work for everyone.
So there's a voice coming from a glory-hole in a public toilet, who tells the main character he is needed to save the world. For the most part it's dialogue through the main character, and a voice from a being who claims to be a god. With some memory flashbacks.
There is some dark humour going on, but it's not really a horror comedy either.
But with the way it ends, you're not really sure if what happened was real, or if the lead is just having a manic episode.
