My poll 58 is inspired by the film ANTIQUE, which is adapted from a comic book. It is very cartoonish, but it is still very funny and entertaining. I like that it is very gay-friendly. But what I like the most about it is its subplot about a serial killer. From some aspects, I think ANTIQUE treats its plot about serial killing in a more interesting way than SYMPATHY FOR LADY VENGEANCE.
