| Filmcritic.comDon WillmottThis low-powered sci-fi exercise is actually a soft-core gay skin flick masquerading as some kind of "thriller" with a heavy message. About what? Dunno. |
| User ReviewBrian FTotally hot cast and wild "electric" storyline....how far would you go to feel good? |
| User ReviewGregory Wsaw this on Logo. I want unedited version. that one guy is so cute! |
| User Review?۩ IñVéRt ÐGood, refreshing story although some dialogues are lame. |
| User ReviewTommy RWhen a surgeon get struck by lightning he becomes obessed with electricity. He obession borders on addiction. |
| User ReviewRodrigo POh Dios... esto se pasa de bizarro. Un fetiche con la electricidad? Enchufes y tomacorrientes en las muñecas? El puntaje se lo doy por los actores (muy lindos, para nada talentosos) y las escenas de porno softcore. |
| User ReviewPrivate UAlmost a gay tribute to Cronenberg, both in invoking the sexuality of "Crash" and the "body horror" style he basically invented. Standard low-budget genre problems apply, but it's worth a look. |
| User ReviewJames CAfter surviving a lightning strike, a surgeon discovers that he not the man he used to be. When he discovers a group of like-minded people, his life begins to fall apart. This movie did quite well on the festival circuit, and after reading a favourable review, I thought I would give it a go. What I was presented with was a low budget movie with an intriguing idea. The acting is a bit wooden, but a good story keeps you interested. This is my first foray into the genre of gay art-house horror, and even though I am sure that I lost a lot of the subtext, I enjoyed it a lot more than a quite a few middle of the road horror movies that I have watched recently. |
| User ReviewScott SIndy films common on the festival circuit are very hit and miss...more miss than hit. While I would not call this a hit, it is not a bad movie and certainly different than your independent film with gay themes. It does not suffer the fate of other low budget films; poor writing, editing and overdone acting. Instead this film kept my interest throughout and is in many ways like a Cronenberg film in its layout. Matthew Montomgery, an indepent film veteran excels in this film. He never over-acts and his character portrayals are always believable. Definitely worth a look. |
| User ReviewGraham Clow production values - and sometimes a bit dantes cove - i thought this was going to be throw-away - but it turned out to be a really fun exploration of electroplay fetishism. |
