Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaJust like the rest of the film, The Pink Opaque segments that appear throughout the film were also shot in 35mm, but later transferred to both VHS and Betamax in post-production to create the show's different period-specific degradations.
- GoofsIn the voting machine, the ballot shows the familiar names of candidates in the 1996 U.S. Presidential Election ("Bill Clinton / Al Gore"), but ballots for major elections have the full names of those running. The candidates should be listed as William J. Clinton, Albert A. Gore, Robert J. Dole, etc.
- Quotes
Maddy: Time wasn't right. It was moving too fast. And then I was 19. And then I was 20. I felt like one of those dolls asleep in the supermarket. Stuffed. And then I was 21. Like chapters skipped over on a DVD. I told myself, "This isn't normal. This isn't normal. This isn't how life is supposed to feel."

Featured review
This is definitely the result of someone writing under the influence of acid or some type of hallucinogenic drug.
In our house the month of October is horror movie month. Every night we watch a horror movie, and last night we had heard so much about this movie, and it had horror in the description, that we decided to give it a try. This is not a horror movie and is the absolute weirdest movie I think I have ever seen. The actors did a good job, but that is really the only positive thing I had to say.
I'm sitting here the following day still wondering how this movie got made. Someone read this script and decided that it was something that should be seen by others. WTF man. Epic fail. The only reason I gave it three stars as opposed to one is because of the actors.
I guess I'm just really unhappy that horror was used to label this garbage, and we wasted one of our October nights on it.
