This is, pure and simple, a movie for people that enjoy B movies. That said this is above the level of a Troma feature. Lots of gratuitous nudity, violence, and shock in this little horror flick that really borders more on macabre comedy.
As a previous poster mentioned, the female roles seemed much better written and acted than the lead. I kept hoping this mopey hippy would die at SOME point in the 1 hour and 16 minutes, but alas he did not. The lead wasn't necessarily a bad actor, it just seemed like the writing on it wasn't entirely fleshed out and when he wasn't interacting with the 2 ladies in the film it was very hit or miss on the boring scale.
The themes and politics of the flick seem like they can appeal to all. Yeah, there's the insta-bash on working class "truckers," but you also get a fairly direct illustration of how conceited the "save the world" vegan hippy fellow is when he's wasting education time at his job as a teacher preaching political garbage like the kyoto treaty to kindergartners as well as ignoring the rest of humanity outside his narrow-minded goals.
All-in-all, watch this if you like horror and/or absurdist macabre comedies. For a first flick, a great effort, hopefully a little refinement will make this director someone to notice.
