This has to be one of the silliest movies in a long time. Even with murder, abduction, gay sex, male pick ups, bondage and animal cruelty, it still doesn't make a mark. Possibly because it rambles on and on as do the actors in their scenes. Our hero, Daniel Sauli, seems to walk in a trance in this and never seems to understand he's a victim until it's too late. Even then he walks continually into one horror after another, not having learned anything. You get tired of it and hope the crazy husband, played by Sherman Howard in a rather zombie-like way, will do him in and we can get rid of him. But no, we have to live through yet more torture and more of the hero walking into one mess after another. And always with a stupid look on his face. Even in the start when he's rejected by the one night stand, played on one level with an accent by Julien Lucas, he continues to walk about in a trance and moves into building the boy friend lives in. Why the boy friend wasn't taken prisoner, is beside me. Patti D'Arbanville plays the crazy landlady who captures our droll hero. She's predictable all the way through. Kevin Costange plays a corpse. What can you say about that? A rather stiff performance. Sorry had to say it. The only two saving graces in this are the hero's girl friend played well by Heather Simms. She was only normal one in this. And Max the dog, who stole the film. What happens at the end is still a mystery as no one knows. The director/writer Sam Zalutsky decided not to end the movie. Oh God, does that mean we have to sit through a sequel? Actors except for Patti and Max were terrible. Either over done or bland. Sauli just doesn't have the charm to play the lead. You really don't care what happens to him. Alas, no more of this stuff, please.
