5/10
Strange Independent Film

Warning: Spoilers
Like most people who stumble across this obscure independent film you will probably be lying if you say you weren't drawn to the storyline of a young sex addict hoping to see some soft porn. Unfortunately you don't see that, but what you do get is an honest portrayal of a lonely strange attractive young man living a seedy lifestyle of prostitutes, S&M and having a somewhat unnatural interest in his sister. The above reviewer is right, the lead does deliver his lines in a flat monotone and his acting is not the best but that helped make this movie realistic in a documentary style I thought. For a first effort, director/writer/star Ricki Hostutler has done an above average job, just don't watch it expecting to see anything other than a documentary-style character study with a view bizarre imagery thrown in for good measure.
