Somewhere in the middle of nowhere, USA: Sophie (Sammi Davis) has never
really come over the violent death of her son, so much so that her husband
Ephraim (Jon Lindstrom) and her sister Hallie (Jenny Dare Paulin), who
lives with them, start to worry about her. When Sophie finally decides to
have the dead boy's room redecorated, this is seen as a good sign though,
evewn if she starts acting weird around the boys she has hired to paint the
room, her former students Tom (Alex Weed) and Harry (Jake Bern) from the
time she still was a teacher. When she learns about Ephraim's low sperm
count, she even seduces both of the boys, just because she's desperate to
have another baby. Eventually, she even tries to persuade them to kill
Ephraim and make a getaway with her and Hallie ... There is a problem
though: Tom and Harry are not the innocent boys just out of highschool
they seem to be, they have actually killed Sophie's son, and when Sophie
suggests them to murder Ephraim, they take her more seriously than they
should. Hallie finds out the truth about Tom and Harry, but is knocked out
by the boys, who then pay a visit to Sophie to rape her while waiting for
Ephraim's arrival. In the end though, it's Hallie who saves the day, and
she, Sophie and Ephraim kill the two boys, killers of Sophie's baby, in
almost-self defense. This film certainly has potential: It is
directed with an eye on atmosphere, features enough twists and turns to
keep one guessing, and the entire cast is pretty good as well ... it's
only in the finale that the film falls flat on its face - while the plot
that was so far kept interesting by complex storytelling the film now reveals itself to
be nothing more than another pulpy psychokiller story that has little new
to offer, quite the contrary, it'sw nothing short of
predictable. This actually could have been good, but after seeing all of
it, it turns out to be nothing more than mediocre ...
