A bunch of NYC admen - Richards (Ben Dickinson), Doug (Duncan Skiles),
Kimble (Christopher D.Ford) and Sonia (Olivia Villanti) - go to the
country on a photo safari for their next ad campaign ... and bump into a
bunch of hippies, one of whom, Summer (Heather Robb), Richards manages to
bed. This makes Doug a tad jealous, and the next day, he walks off into
the forest with the girl ... and by nightfall, it seems to have become
clear the two of them have vanished. The others go looking for them and find
what might be traces of a crime ... and then Doug returns, wearing
nothing but underpants and totally out of his mind. Then our heroes' car
won't start, which means they are stranded in the forest, and while
Richards, who has really fallen in love with Summer, goes looking for her
some more, Kimble and Sonia get into a fight, and he kills her. Haunted by
weird visions of a sleazy TV host who reminds him of Doug, Richards throws away his glasses, without
which he sees next to
nothing, meets Summer again, who now seems to be a zombie, and finally
returns to Kimble, only to brutally kill him. Urbanite admen
trying to get back to nature: Now if that isn't a perfect breeding ground
for satire, what is? - and in the early stages of the film, the whole
thing really seems to be just that, a mean little satire ... but no, then
the film veers off into a different direction, but we are left in the dark
what that direction might be, as the movie takes forever to set up its
story. Then finally we know: Hah, it's a murder mystery. But no, wrong again,
it's no mystery as such, just a bunch of mysterious events held together
by pretty little other than the fact that they all feature the same
actors/characters. Now let me make one thing clear: I am not against films
that bend genre rules or do away with genre conventions altogether, quite
the contrary. But in this film, whatever happens seems to happen without
any rhyme or reason, the sequence of events seems to be almost
interchangeable, and the pay-off/finale/final murder scene seems to come
out of nowhere just like pretty much everything else that happens in the
film. To put it short: Nice premise but major disappointment.
