I saw this movie shortly after it was completed at the wonderful Michigan Theater in Ann Arbor. The house had a blast that night- great fun! This is a fantastic "bad" movie - fun to laugh at/with, hard to take seriously. The dialog isn't so wonderful, acting is not up on par with the best of Hollywood or anything but this could easily have become a cult film. The "sex among the trees" scene is so ridiculous, so over the top, so gross, it's great. I would love to see it again sometime.Favorite lines from the movie: "Touch the wall, Jake!", "Cats or death!" With lines like this, you gotta love this movie.

In defense of this movie, it is completely original. But don't you have questions about who and how it was produced? It seems like a whole town got together and pooled their limited resources to produce this film that must have been written by a local who had waaay too much acid in the 70's. But for some reason I find this movie affecting. Who can't relate to the main characters loneliness and isolation? But to all those complainers out there: People are always criticizing movies for being the same bland formula over and over-now here's one that's way different than most without being totally incomprehensible. My hat goes off to the people who made this movie. You tried, and sometimes that's enough.

For a small budget film, it has more heart and interest and originality than 90% of what passes for drama or horror coming out of Hollywood. The young actor, Gregory Fortescue, is attractive on many levels and effectively carries the film. Yes, it can be seen as an AIDS allegory....but it also presents a different take on the disaffected and confused young man...Gregory's character Jake can be seen as an AIDS victim....or as James Dean in Rebel Without a Cause...or as the Werewolf in American Werewolf in London. Unusual, original, recommended...just a little confusing at times.I found it on a bit-torrent site.Otherwise...hard to find.

Although campy at times, this movie is full of symbolism. Also proves to be an excellent commentary on society. Made in 1988, I am positive that this movie was influenced by AIDS and the stigmas it carried at the time. Also, enjoyed the conflicts of science versus religion.
