Young Caleb (Sean Paul Lockhart) seems to be such a nice guy, so the
police psychiatrist (Blanche Baker) wonders what has gotten him into
prison? Well, it all started so nicely when he met Jeremy (Rob Moretti),
a slightly older guy, on the internet. The two meet for coffee and
promptly land in bed. The next day, Jeremy is gone, throwing Caleb into
some kind of depression ... but Jeremy returns, does make up for it, and
the two become a couple. And Jeremy does some digging, finding out that
Caleb's fear of being abandoned stems from his mother (Suzanne Didonna)
having abandoned him, and when he found her again, she threw insults into
his face, just because he's gay. From now on, Jeremy does everything to
make Caleb feel loved, and Caleb opens up to him more and more, giving him
the keys to his house and the like. A match made in heaven ... wouldn't
you say? Well, no, because there's something Jeremy keeps a secret from
Caleb - he's married, and his wife (Rebekah Aramini) is pregnant, too. Of
course, Caleb finds out eventually, and when he does, something breaks
inside of him. So under the pretense to wanting to have kinky sex with
him, Caleb handcuffs Jeremy to his bed ... and starts to torture him, both
physically and mentally, in more and more wicked ways. But he has kept the
worst for last ... Truth is a pleasently unusual piece
of genre cinema, basically because it takes time telling its story, and
without an over-reliance on genre mainstays. As a matter of fact, if it
wasn't for the framing story with the prison psychiatrist, one could think
one's in a love story for quite some time. And the film doesn't stress
it's a gay love story either but keeps its eyes firmly on the romance
aspects - but goes about all this cleverly enough to use it as a set-up
for the rather wicked finale that follows. Now add to all of this a
competent key cast and a subtle directorial effort, and you've got
yourself a pretty tight thriller after all. Recommended!
