This is probably the best really bad movie you probably will never see. The plot centers around a sensitive kid (Jake)in a small town full of brainless twits (comically stereotyped, yes, but barely, growing up as a sensitive kid in a small town myself) who unwittingly contracts a deadly disease that transfers itself to whatever he touches. When other people come into contact with these objects, they disintegrate and are promptly assimilated. Jake seems to be the only guy it doesn't affect.
Scenes to watch for: *the tree scene... during sex, girl touches affected tree with shocking results *the church cat scene... "Touch the wall, Jake!" *and the Hefty bag scenes... the bad guys in leaf bags, the good guys in kitchen bags, just so ya can keep track of who is whom!
Themes: *yeah, the AIDS theme, but it just makes it even hokier *the twisted christ-figure theme: too loud to be ignored
If you ever get the chance to watch this movie, it is definitely an experience: up there with Xtro and Liquid Sky! If you ever find a copy you want to sell, please do not hesitate to let me know.
