This beauty runs less than an hour but a lot happens. Here are some highlights: The story centers around "The Family" run by Uncle Jack, a crazed ex-science professor from Stanford University. It seems that while foraging for wild fungus he found a strange crystal in the base of a tree-this crystal emits light and has power over all who touch it. Jack uses it to capture the soul of his sister who is dying a slow tortuous death from cancer. He creates a nectar from fungus that he feeds his nieces and nephew-a group of punkish lowlifes. The mixture has the effect of psyllicibin and produces intense hallucinations. For some reason it causes those who ingest it to become cannibals. The nephew provides bodies by slaughtering stranded motorists and a gay he picks up a supermarket. His methods of execution include the standard knife and gun and the not so standard steel tipped cowboy boots in which he kicks in the skull of one unlucky motorist. Anyway the family believe that one of the nieces bears "the promised child" and require a soul of a hero to inhabit it. One of the family is a human dog (actually the actor looks a lot like RIchard Karn in pig tails) who spends his time sniffing crotches and humping legs when not snarling and scratching. There is also a tattooed character who enjoys bondage.We see him hanging from chains with his penis crushed between two vice grips while he relishes getting his testicles tickled with a blowtorch .He keeps saying, "I am the dinosaur" while getting his chestnuts roasted. His companion looks like an extra from a Marilyn Manson video. During a spirit trip taken by the family they are accosted by a Godzilla sized mutant Jesus who nearly stomps their car flat. When he picks up the car and peers inside, the nephew shoots him in the eye while screaming, "Die Mother#*#&$^!" A highlight for sure. Had enough yet? The quality is that of a homemade video-lots of bad gore/special effects and acting. The soundtrack is lifted from independent industrial punk bands. It was made by the same team that did "Red Spirit Lake" which is a much better film. The film is not as shocking as the creators intended but it is definitely not your average cinema fare. If you like things left of center you could do worse.

We Await Charles Pinions Follow up to his master work Red Spirit Lake is so different from any other movie ever created that I do not know if I am Smart enough to Judge it. The story line has something to do with a strange family allot of fungus and even has a grown man for a dog. Amanda Collins who played Marilin in Red Spirit lake plays Xena in this one and once again makes the movie at least worth watching. Their are some murders and shots of San Francisco but the really trippy scenes in this movie seem to bleed the sick underside of San Francisco all over the screen and left me wondering what the hell was going on! I suggest any one that watches this movie to get into some sort of altered state before hand and maybe then it will make sense.
