. . . according to the DVD box for DISTORTION. I had a root canal this month, so I can honestly say watching this movie is MORE enjoyable than that other experience. Does DISTORTION have anything going for it besides being more pleasurable than a prolonged dental procedure? Not much.
Pointers for those wishing to experience DISTORTION: 1)"Gorman" refers to a desert outpost in California shown in occasional flashbacks, NOT a person. 2)If you're tempted to rent this because the box says a chick disappears in the middle of making a porno, forget it. Rachel (played by Sarah Lahti) is snatched fully clothed, and the minimal nudity in this feature is of the incidental-by-extras variety. 3)While this movie's main theme is Pirandelloism--the conflict between illusion and reality--a similar but much better title to check out is an effort directed by and starring Hannibal Lecter himself (Sir Anthony Hopkins), entitled SLIPSTREAM (2007). Even SLIPSTREAM (2005) starring Sean Astin is better than DISTORTION.
