“Brendan Fletcher is scary good! The film is a touching and psychologically astute examination into the very nature of "abnormal desire" that should be a must viewing! This dreamily shot living nightmare would make a splendid double bill with Gregg Araki and Scott Heim's Mysterious Skin!”
David Lamble, BAY AREA REPORTER
