"Dolcezza Extrema" is the original Italian title of the 2015 Italian science fiction-horror film, released in the United States by Troma Entertainment under the name "Sick Sock Monsters from Outer Space."
The film, directed by Alberto Genovese, is known for its unique and unconventional style. It is a "no-budget" production that combines live-action acting with animation and digital techniques, using sock puppets made from recycled materials for most of the characters.
The plot follows a space pirate captain named Pixws and his crew, who are forced by a galactic monarch to deliver tanning showers across the universe. The film has been described as "insane," "anarchic," and "psychedelic," and it is aimed at an adult audience due to its themes of sex, drugs, and violence.
The title "Dolcezza Extrema" translates roughly to "Extreme Sweetness" or "Extreme Gentleness," which is an ironic name for the film's chaotic and bizarre content.
