Luck (Danny Lopes), Anmanda (Raine
Brown), Marisa (Jessica
Pagan), Kevin (Kevin Kenney) & Fred (Chris Farabaugh) escape
from a clinic where they were detained for drug abuse, with a basket
full of drugs a reverend gave them (!), but unfortunately Luck had to
kill a guard during the escape. Even while still just running from the
clinic in a stolen car, our five juvenile delinquents start taking the
drugs, not the least suspicious about their origin, but they soon get their
just punishment as Fred turns (literally) blue in the face & throws
up violently.
Shocked, they stop at the next house - incidently that of
the reverend (Vincent
Lamberti), who, with his wife (Chrissy Sanford), takes great
delight in drugging his daughter Grace (Lizzy Mahon). Luck stumbles in
as they're doing just that & - having drug induced hallucinations -
kills both Grace's parents. But Grace is not the most stable in mind, as
she hallucinates about living with her grandpa (The Amazing Kreskin),
who suddenly disappears from one moment to the next, with her mother
telling her the man has been dead for a week, then Grace suddenly awakes
to Luck & company trying to get rid of her parents' corpses.
But one
after the other, our juveniles die under mysterious circumstances as
well, & outside Grace's house zombies start to assemble, with only
luck managing to get past the zombie hordes. Grace meanwhile finds some
secret passagewayys in her house & some proof that her gramps might
not have been the holy man (he was a reverend) she thought him to be
but a satanist. & soon she finds the man is not even dead, & he
places her gently on a torture rack to ... well torture her ! She
faints, but upon waking up again finally manages to escape the house ...
to get torn apart & eaten up by the zombies. Luck meanwhile
suddenly wakes up in the clinic again, where he finds Grace in a coma in
the next room, & her parents who promptly attack him. However, he
manages to escape, shoot a guard & find the reverend's basket of
drugs ... Low budget horror-movie that is not entirely
without interest or ideas, as its lack of money actually works for the
film instead of against it, having in large parts to make up in
inventiveness what it lacks in special effects. On the other hand though
the film tries way too hard to be enigmatic & mysterious, while
using already overused symbolism & imagery that simply fails
to give the viewer the impression of seeing something really original.
Also the main characters are way too flat to uphold any real interest in
or sympathy for them, making the whole thing a rather bland - if sometimes
interesting - affair in the end. |
