Brendan Fraser, Ashley Judd, Viggo Mortensen

After the death of his strictly religious parents, forlorn young Darkly gets lost in the woods. A truck driver, Jude, rescues the exhausted man, who has only a bible for comfort. He brings him to the ...( read more  read more... )house of Callie and Clay, two lovers who live in the forest. While Clay is away in the forest, beautiful Callie nurses Darkly back to health, and he develops an obsession with her that is totally contrary to his upbringing - a sexual obsession. When Clay returns home and Darkly sees the two lovers kiss, it is too much for him. Every night he hears them making love. Darkly's descent into madness has begun... An extremely dramatical and exciting ending!

    An interesting movie. Darkly is nursed to health by the hot Callie (Ashley Judd). When her boyfriend returns, Darkly is conflicted - he was raised by deeply religious parents vs his obsession for Callie. You get more and more uncomfortable as the movie advances to its inevitab...( read more)le conclusion. Mind you, I hate obscure stuff like the big shiny boot floating on a lake.

    One of my all time least favorite movies.

    This movie is so f---ed up, I'm not even going to pretend to understand it. Yet in spite of the twisted story and overwrought symbolism, this movie is incredibly watchable and re-watchable, with some unexpected and intriguing performances, a beautiful score, and enchanting cinema...( read more)tography featuring a vivid palette of saturated primary colours. It probably isn't for everyone, but it's definitely worth a look if you're up for a little risk-taking.

    You'll never watch another Brendan Frazer movie again after seeing this movie. Now I can't watch any of the Mummy movies without thinking of him wrapped in barbed wire, masturbating in the tool shed.

    I watched this movie for an hour today before i realised i had already seen it. I found it really boring,the end livens it up a bit but then it goes all weird again when the circus family appear with the silver shoe. Viggos character was quite interesting though.

    Very good and also very disturbing movie. Unlike anything he has done before.

    judd is terrifying, fraser good in a few scenes, mortensen is very good (but little role). Not os interesting...I didn't really care to know what would happen. But there's a scene of big shiny boot floating on a lake that is very impressive. I loved that

    Deliciously raw and sexy,... and dark and twisted. But never far fetched. I love it!

    Will this ever be released on DVD? I loved The Reflecting Skin, and I'm extremely eager to see this movie as well.
