I thought it would be a standard gore fest, but it got me in strange way. There was a little gore in it, but the concepts here were far more fascinating. If I was a younger man, I think I would have easily related to this film in a life-changing way. Travis is a character in the film who is having problems dealing with his identity and sexuality. The way it is portrayed here is not in a shallow fashion, but in an in-depth personal way that exposes some of our deepest most thoughts. I preferred the character drama to all the gore and effects at the end, because it is so far reaching. The same team (and some of the same actors) who appeared here also were in their second film, To Become One. Strangely, the films don't resemble each other in theme or style. This film really touched me. Watch it again and again!!!

I expected this to be a standard slasher film with teenagers, but was very surprised. About half way through the film, it takes a left turn into the really bizarre territory of mind control. My friends and I watched this, trying to predict who the murderer was, but found this was a film we could not predict. The concept is very original and creepy. I cannot say more as it will give too much of the plot away. Watch it in the dark and expect something new. i read about the making of this film in American Fangoria mag. Apparently the budget was only $2000, but it looks like it cost a million or so. Well directed and well acted all around. I would recommend this to someone who likes horror with a twist.
