A mish-mash of familiar cinematic would-be jolts and shocks that don't convince for a more than a moment or two.

Top CriticCut with distractions: tweaky visuals, borrowed touches and cartoonish characters.
08/25/06
Top CriticFarnsworth's frenetic, often hysterical first feature tries desperately to find a style, or styles, to call its own, but there's never a moment that doesn't feel as if it's been chewed up and spit out a dozen times before.

Top CriticThere's not much story but there are plenty of colorful, almost David Lynchian drug freakouts.
03/31/06
Top CriticA sour vanity project: trash posing as a socially relevant 'cautionary tale.'
03/31/06
Top CriticMatt Farnsworth's low-budget cautionary tale takes a 'drugs are evil' premise and pushes it to the extreme.
03/30/06
Top CriticFarnsworth brings a smidgen of scary energy to the social hellfire, and his newbie cast often out-act the pros.
