This movie features a world where the sun beats down on the earth and causes serious burns right away as the ozone is gone. This is done very well of a movie of this type as it does resemble a b movie. The movie also features many unique crazy effects as a house is turned into a very dangerous rain forest type environment as a scientist is trying to find a way to make durable plants and such to stand up to the super harsh climate. He has a son and wife and they have to move around because someone does not approve of the experiments. Well at the new house they arrive at there is an accident right away and right away the house starts to get overrun by the various fungus and plants that the scientist is developing. Meanwhile, the son is having trouble adjusting to school as the school he is attending has the most extreme bullies ever as they not only beat you up if you talk to one of them's girl they stake you in the blistering sun which is why this movie fails, the characters are so unbelievable. The father, the mother and the coach and all the bullies are way to over the top and ruin what could have been an okay movie. Though granted it would have been nothing great considering the severe lack of things to do with a house full of bizarre plant life.

This movie had some great ideas, but unfortunately the way it was made ... no, it is not boring, but it is not enough entertaining either - remote comes handy at many parts. Reading other comments I noticed with surprise how many people liked Alice Krige's performance. To me it was pathetic and pretentious at best. She plays her role with so much "sweetness" that any normal personal may literally throw up at the end of the movie like after eating few boxes of chocolates and drinking few cans of super-sweetened condensed milk. Both taste great in little doses, overdose end ups with vomits, and so is Alice Krige's performance here. However there is an instant cure for it, kind of vaccine - also contained within this movie as well ;-) Perhaps it is not "performance", I don't dare to call it that much, but lets just say that the extended scenes and closeups of nude Laura Elisabeth Harris, proudly showing off her nice, natural pair of breathing devices - they really made up for the damages done by Krige!(I dont want my post to be taken down in any near future for using anatomically correct - but politically incorrect - words like "bre_st", "ti_s" etc). So: if youre a straight male - rent it! Your eyes will enjoy Harris in her prime. And if youre a female - you may actually Balthazar Getty in his prime, or you may even like Krige's role...My rating: 6/10 (solely for showing Laura Harris' great stuff in this movie).

this film is definitely one of my favorite trash thingies around there ... laura harris makes every film, ohhm ... i dunno, strange? such brilliant ideas, so many bad b-grade (gut native-funny) actors and a plot that seems to be born in a great rush of wodka or something... i love this. like i said, one of my favorites. if you like b-movies and in some kind independent, this is just the GODESS! mercié

I came across this movie one lazy afternoon on our local cable...I must admit I had to watch the whole thing I couldn't believe it could be so bad! I did like the sets though..because they had that wonderful quality of cardboard..
