CGiii Comment

Let's start the film with the slaughtering of a lamb...for no apparent reason other than to prove...I am a director who is thoroughly stuck up my own ass...

It looks good - black and white tends to do that...what it doesn't do it disguise the inadequacies of the narrative.

Angst-ridden teen....that well-trodden route.

The(ir) Blurb...

David is a teenager like any other. His world is filled with loud music, imaginary encounters with centre-folds, and heroic fights on make-believe battlefields. With his mother away and his father nowhere to be found, David id forced to stay on his uncle's farm, where life lacks the excitement he craves.

But the monotony of county living is about to be broken as his uncle and a collection of his friends get together for an afternoon of excessive eating and drinking, to which David is invited. Later that evening, David goes to meet a friend in the woods. Here, the effects of his drink-fuelled initiation and the frustration he feels, generally find a brutal and horrifying outlet that will change his life forever...
