Haunting and Thought Provoking...

I saw a screening of this film at Rock And Shock III. I wasn't really sure what to expect. Dee Wallace Stone (of whom we all LOVED in POPCORN!) gave an introduction, and talked about her role in the film as a drunk mother. She talked very highly of her role and unfortunately she was in the movie for less than a minute... Nonetheless, the film opens up beautifully, with Misty Mundae (Lord of the G-Strings, Kinky Kong) running around naked. YESSS! Anyway, this film does include much T&A but the film is also pretty powerful and gets you thinking. It shows how a seemingly normal guy who likes to party can do something unspeakably bad. The film's ending, though I will not give it away, makes the film all the more powerful. Also, the film has pretty top notch acting for a film like this. RObin Sydney gives a surprisingly good performance, rather than her performances in Gingerdead Man and Doll Graveyard. Hmm...it must be Charles Band then? Also, the lead actor was very good, as was the rest of the cast and crew. The only bad thing about this film were the uncomfortable chairs I was sitting in. I'd recommend this film to everyone, but don't expect a horror film. It is more of a drama.
