This time I’m reviewing a film about a demonic Goth trying
to corrupt two Goth teens…
Chrissy and her
boyfriend BOONE are two Gothic teenagers living in L.A. who have seen and done
it all. As the sun goes down, they get ready for a hardcore concert at the
local club. The night takes a gruesome turn when they run into a savage, darkly
beautiful woman with a taste for pain and sexual deviance. She represents the
darkest, most depraved end of this subculture; for her, it's not just
superficial costumes and makeup but a way of life that thrives on murder and
madness. Promising new thrills and experiences, she takes Chrissy and Boone on
a wild, terrifying ride that progresses from drug-fueled orgies to random acts
of violence, leaving a trail of mutilated victims in their wake.
Unfortunately I wasn’t really impressed with this film.
Besides the music and makeup this film didn’t scream Goth to me.
Phoebe Dollar was ok as Goth. She seemed to me more bitchie
than scary. All through the film she would make threats but never really do
anything. She spends the film bullying the Goth couple to have sex with other I’mpeople. Then toward the end she tries to
push Christy to commit murder to prove herself a true Goth based on Goth’s
rules of being Goth.
Laurie Reilly plays Chrissy, who all of a sudden believes
that Goth was the person who killed her sister. So, because she wants to prove that
Goth is her sister’s killer she plays Goth’s game and ends up losing herself in
the end.
Dave Stan plays Boone, who Goth bullies into having rough
sex with a woman while Christie watches. I wasn’t impressed by this character. He seemed rather
wimpy. I felt he was manipulated too easily.
All in all I wasn’t
pleased, with the story or the acting in this film. It felt more like
someone’s manipulation fantasy with a Goth covering. I definitely don’t recommend
this film…
