Billy Whitney (Billy
Warlock) is an outsider in his family and
feels that he is treated differently and
talks to his shrink Dr. Cleveland (Ben
Slack) about his problems but even finds
some strange things happening in his
office too thinking that he is
hallucinating.
Also a paranoid kid named David Blanchard
(Tim Bartell) tries to warn him and his
sister Jenny (Patrice Jennings) about
strange events that are going to happen
and later is is reportedly dead from a
tragic accident.
Suddenly his parents act very abnormal
and most of all he is having a sketchy
relationship with his girlfriend Shauna
(Heidi Kozak) in which she catches him
cheating with another girl who seems to
have the hots for him named Clarissa
Carlyn (Devin DeVasquez) in which he's
confused about everything but then a
shocking party is about to be revealed
and finds the scary truth as to why
everyone around him has been behaving so
strangely.
While I first was
watching the film it looked trashy from
the start of it in which we spot a
troubled kid named Billy getting a knife
and holding it in which it almost
reminded me of a cheesy version on the
beginning of Halloween.
Then there's an opening credits showing
some wierd formation that I couldn't
explain but then it gets explained
quarter way through the plot.
There's moments with Billy talking to his
counsellor which seemed fairly okay along
with some shocking moments on him biting
into an apple and finding out results of
it which kinda psychs you out thinking
"What the hell?"
There's also more mysterious moments like
a dweeby person like David Blanchard
trespassing in a house and trying to warn
both Billy and Jenny about a situation
that's happening with them getting
anxious towards him as I found this very
unconvincing and not effective at all to
the story plus the parents asking
Blanchard as to why he keeps bothering
them without getting aggressive along
with alot of bad liners too.
There's also moments with Billy getting
distracted during a student counsel
election due to a beautiful womam sitting
in a certain situation that gets him
aroused which I was thinking to myself
"Oh c'mon man this is so
pointless!"
There's a moment when Jenny asks Billy to
help zip the back of her top and her skin
starts to move which seemed like a bit of
a nice touch to the film and leaving an
impression that she isn't human as well
as another moment with him spotting her
behind a glass door of a shower and
something doesn't look right with her
which seems to pay a tribute to those old
school sci-fi horror flicks making these
moments twisted.
But there's also moments with Billy and
his girlfriend making out and some kids
squirting them with a squirtgun or a
moment with a lustful girl named Clarissa
spraying sun tan in his face along with
her strange mother approaching in which I
wondered if it was a guy dressed as a
woman which all of this seemed extremely
hokey and badly done.
There's the odd good but yet cheesy
mysterious moment like the parents acting
strange while talking to Bill about where
he's going when he's heading out as if
something has taken over their mind and
then it falls flat again.
There's of course a good romp between
Billy and Clarissa which bored me half to
death as it didn't even the least bit
convincing and later on the Mom entering
and acting weird with what she is doing.
I just was thinking to myself is this
actually a horror flick or a crappy black
comedy?!
But I do enjoy a scene where Billy spots
a corpse in a car at night in a forestry
area which did show some cheesy horror
there and what better to have it but in
the deep dark woods.
Eventually the horror comes into it even
more and shocking when Billy finds out
his family isn't what they seem to be
with alot of gross out moments too which
is hard to watch but deny that they
aren't human and he was just an outsider.
Bottom line is this looks like a bad
parody of old school films as well as
something out of Ray Bradbury
types of shows too and it doesn't explain
itself at all along with not making any
sense. The creators from Re-Animator
did this one and should've been ashamed
after making it.
The acting is
pretty bad I must say but there were some
odd good one's so let's look here:
Billy Warlock (Billy Whitney)
portrays a teenage outsider but yet he is
just a line reader and seems quite
pathetic when he tries to pump up some
energy into his role. He is very wooden
with his performance throughout the movie
and just seems phony at everything he
did. There's a scene on him going to a counter to pick
up a knife and getting tense but yet his
actions weren't too believeable. Yet a good raging aggression with him approaching towards his fellow actor and getting demanding towards him.
Devin DeVasquez (Clarissa Carlyn)
seemed to pull off her role not too badly
but she wasn't overly great but had a
nice touch to her speaking in which she
seemed to come across nicely as one of
those charming types as well as having a
good sympatheic attitude too.
Evan Richards (Milo) was the best
actor in this film as I found he seemed
to pull off his character well with his
anxious behavior and heroic attitude too.
He really brought alot in the film which
is more than what I can say for most of
the cast members here. So at least he got
some good credit.
Ben Meyerson (Ferguson) portrayed a
popular bullying type of jock in the
flick as he had the right looks but was
way too goofy to be taken seriously. He
also seemed quite wooden whenever he
acted brutal too. Yet he came across
nicely on the camera but that's about it.
Connie Danese (Nan) showed some wit
with her character as the Mom in which
she certainly came across as very odd in
which was a good thing but yet she seemed
a bit cheesy in most of her scene's in
the film but she wasn't overly terrible.
Heidi Kozak (Shauna) has gained a
reputation in cheesy films and boy was
her performance cheesy in which she tried
to act outgoing as well as showing an
aggressive atttitude but yet she doesn't
seem to cut it too well and seemed quite
amateurish.
Ben Slack (Dr. Cleveland) seemed to
draw attention quite well as a shrink in
the film showing a good serious attitude
as well as acting bubbly too and can be
convincingly entertaining with what he
did throughout his performance. He can be
well remembered for all of this.
Tim Bartell (David Blanchard) was
definetely humiliating as someone who is
paraoid and trying to get the point at
what he does. He really lacked in what he
did in which he seemed to try way too
hard but didn't pull it off too well. He
had the right dorky looks though.
Pamela Matheson (Mrs. Carlyn) seemed
to stand out pretty well as if she a
zombie with her expressionless looks and
behavior. She certainly came across as
those weirdo types with the dark comedy
that was used in this film.
Patrice Jennings
vcovers her breasts and vagina while a
shower door opens
Devin DeVasquez
shows her boobs while fornicating in bed
A naked woman comes out of some strange
type of thing that was once a body
A person's neck is
cut bloodied dead in a vehicle
A person's body starts to look like clay
as hands and faces dig in to him.
A hand goes through a persons face as he
turns to clay and tears him open
There's cheesy low sounding
synthesizer music with some high pitched
sounds plus there's the odd tinking music
too which sounds pretty trashy in which
none of this impressed me at all composed
by Phil Davies and Mark Ryder.
