Seeing this movie in all it's "horror", i.e the acting, the story, made me cringe the first time I watched it. But because it is sooo lame I need to own this movie. To show people what bad movies are made of. Don't hate it because it's bad... LOVE IT because it's sooo bad...

Few movies are capable of speaking for an entire culture or generation. There's an intangible connection amongst certain people who share a lifestyle choice that is recognized but never fully conveyed through words. Our director here has captured that essence and made a powerful social commentary in the process. His style reminds me of a young Russ Myers blended with the more refined skill and subtlety Coppola in his early years. The character of 'Goth" makes us ask ourselves what it is we expect of those living on the fringe, and challenges our preconceptions of those we cannot immediately relate to. One can suggest that our talented young director has used these characters as a representative of Arab or middle eastern persons living in a post 9/11 America. Goth (the character) appeals to the frustration of the youth who have been marginalized by the ignorant society they feel trapped in. She plays on these frustrations as well as their innocence and sculpts their impressionable minds in a way perhaps similar to an Al-Queda or Taliban recruiter might. The film raises more questions then answers and forces us to look inward and confront aspects of our own personalities and culture that mirror the peer pressure placed on the young couple by the character. Existentialists will surely appreciate the obvious influences that Jodorowsky and Kenneth Anger have had on this filmmaker. The dominate acting style of Phoebe Dollar blends perfectly with the more submissive style utilized by the beautiful laura Reilly, creating a brilliant dichotomy representing the internal struggle between our natural ego or selfishness and the values we have absorbed through society. I believe Gandhi said it best when he proclaimed, "vah haath jholaa kisakaa hai? Kyaa koee yahaan angrejee bolataa hai? Aap mere liye yah anuvaad kar sakate." Think about it.

I think the bad reviews were due to folks taking too much of the White Light as seen in the movie. This film was a great fun time movie. I highly recommend it for children (well, children over 18 anyways!) Phoebe Dollar was excellent once again in her role. I'd like to see more of her in films.

This is a low budget stupid film about a girl who calls herself "Goth"...yes, I'm talking about her name not her favourite type of music. This movie is just pure cheese, horribly written, horribly acted, terrible effects, ....no, it isn't scarry, and it sadly isn't even funny. It's unbearable!!!!!!!!! It's so hard to sit through that it almost seems like the justice department should use this movie as an interrogation tool for criminals. Awful movie. Possibly one of the most worthless pictures ever made.

okay, if you press play expecting hollywood special effects and shots made with $5000 dollar cameras you will be disappointed.
but if you watch this movie expecting a film about stereotypes, naivety and the malleability of the human mind you'll love it.

this is a movie that needs to be looked at for its story, rather than its production values. if you like overlooked movies that could have been better with a larger budget, but still hold some merit, this movie will be worth at least one watch

[and the music video on the dvd by erace doesn't exactly suck either]
