Robson C Billy Whitney é um adolescente que desconfia que há algo de errado com os seus pais e sua irmã. Ele sente que não é amado pelos seus pais como a sua irmã é. Depois de escutar uma fita gravada por um amigo, que acaba morrendo em um acidente automobilístico, ele passa a investigar e percebe que tudo o que conhece seja uma mentira. O filme faz uma junção de filmes de adolescentes (tanto sendo um drama por não sentir amado, como uma típica comédia dessa fase) com um suspense que nos leva a um body horror. O roteiro é uma crítica social transformada em filme de horror, onde os ricos se sentem superiores ao resto da população, podendo sugar deles tudo o que pode. A crítica fica disfarçada na maior parte do filme, mas no terço final, ela é nítida. Aí o body horror explode com tudo, com a cena que pode embrulhar o estômago de muita gente. Enquanto nessa cena temos um bom trabalho de maquiagem e efeitos práticos, isso acaba prejudicando outra cena tão impactante quanto essa, porém fica risível, provavelmente por causa da melhoria das técnicas de efeitos visuais e o orçamento reduzido. Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/29/24 Full Review chris h Epic fail in every way. Rated 0.5/5 Stars • Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 08/06/24 Full Review Lucas t This movie is very campy and creepy. It needs more recognition, very underrated. I love the SFX used for the shunting. 7.6/10. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/29/24 Full Review Arid S This film was WAY ahead of its time, now days the plot of this film is not far from reality. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/23/24 Full Review Alec B The entire shunting sequence is so insane, both in conception and execution, that I'm willing to forgive most of the movie's narrative issues. Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/22/24 Full Review Jens B Thanks Letterboxd for spoiling the entire plot in your summary on the film's page. That said: a lot of very good looking dudes with horrible hair, some very good looking gals with horrible hair, a very horny, sweaty atmosphere, some sexy time, some mystery and paranoia, oh, and one of the most creative and disgusting orgy scenes in the history of cinema!Very dark humor throughout, you can watch this as a comedy. Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 11/07/23 Full Review Read all reviews
