Billy is a good looking, popular kid in high school, with a beautiful sister, Jenny, who is preparing for her big coming out party. When a schoolmate plays Billy a recording of a perverse conversation between his parents and sister, he begins to uncover the incredibly kinky underbelly of the SOCIETY he has been raised in.
Parts SALO: 120 DAYS OF SODOM, INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS, THEY CAME FROM WITHIN, and BEVERLY HILLS 90210, and featuring the nightmare logic creations of low-budget practical FX guru Screaming Mad George, this freak-out of a flick takes awhile to get to the pay-off, but if you've not seen it, I can assure you there is nothing else quite like it. Worth a viewing, if for any other reason than it is one of the last of the nutsoid "80's horror flicks", and first in the original Home Video wave. It has a cadre of horror industry and in-the-know genre hounds as fans, and fits in strangely with the more sexualized works of Clive Barker and David Cronenberg, while also remaining goofy fun. A head scratcher, for sure. Anomalous to say the least.
Rating: 2.75 out of 5

This is fucking great! I've watched almost two seasons of Beverly Hills, 90210 in the last couple weeks so I was in the perfect mindset for this. Can't wait to see it!
