Otis has everything he needs for the prom...The cool 80s tunes, the bitchin' Trans Am, the powder blue suit, and the girl shackled to a bed in his basement.
Maybe I am more twisted than I thought, but I loved this movie. It is a dark, disturbing, very funny, and just plain wrong...( read more)
A dark comedy with the emphasis on "dark". This is a film that starts out violent and brutal and then tries to make you laugh. The underlying premise is "the lighter side of abduction, rape and murder" and, not surprisingly, it just doesn't work.

No recent reviews.
Started out kinda creepy but took a turn for the downright goofy towards the end.
