It's not your average boy meets box story. It's actually an original and outrageous movie about addiction.
First let me start off by saying who will most likely enjoy this movie. If you are a horror aficionado, if you grew up watching Tales From The Darkside, Monsters, Tales From The Crypt, old school video nasties or enjoy reading magazines like Fangoria, then this movie will not disappoint you. What you have here is a well executed horror movie that pulls you in from the moment our main actor decides to take a walk down the dark side, until the very end when the proverbial S hits the F. This is one Pandora's box that even Pandora should not open. The acting is on par with movies in this budget range, but unlike other B or Indie horror movies I have seen, there is no cringe dialogue. Also, when it comes to the special effects used, it would seem that the better half of the budget was used for this. To say anymore would spoil key plot points. This is a journey best taken in the back seat of our protagonist's car.
With the plethora of garbage that gets released almost on a daily basis, you will be pleasantly surprised to find "The Special" on your over crowded horror dining menu. Just be careful what you decide to do with the 'tip'.

Vintage TV style horror film. Poor audio, poor sets, poor acting, poor dialog. Too bad because it had a whacky premise that could have been somewhat funny.
The quality of the production, set, actors, or even dialogue didn't need to be high to tell this story. The plot was simple and elegant. It was never made to win an Oscar for anything, but what it did win was my attention - which it kept all the way to the gory (and fitting) end.👍
I don't know but I liked it. This is such a weird piece of film I've never come across before. Let me warn you though, this is not a "horror movie" for everyone. Actually very few things are scary at all. It' s just an insane setup never seen before. If you like odd low budged indie movies with totally screwed up plots, this is for you. Otherwise, don't stick your nose (or something else) where it doesn't belong.
