interesting ideas

Warning: Spoilers
Quiet mysterious teen Rufus (Rory J. Saper) and an old lady get off a bus. She claims everybody they know are already dead. It's as far as she can go and kills herself. With no one to take care of him and no background history, Sheriff Hugh Wade (David James Elliott) and his wife (Kelly Rowan) take him in. Neighbor teen Tracy (Merritt Patterson) takes a liking to the strange new kid. When Tracy's ex Clay (Richard Harmon) comes at them, Rufus attacks him like an animal. Aaron Van Dusen (Kim Coates) is the creepy newcomer arriving in town.

This movie is slightly left of center from the regular monster flick. Tracy initially grabs the audience by the balls. Clay confuses. It would help to give his transformation more explanation and more time. It's rather jarring to have him hetero rape Tracy in one scene and falling in love with Rufus in the next. There is some jaggedness in the storytelling. This has some interesting ideas but it needs to be clarified.
