Writer/director Philip Ridley presents a suspenseful and equally strange story that holds your interest from the beginning. Brendan Fraser fans will see a piece of his best work. Ashley Judd fans will be very satisfied with all they get to see.
This is an odd and sometimes slow story that really sizzles and catches fire. Fraser plays Darkly Noon, who finds himself separated from a strong religious family and is wandering in the woods. He is befriended by Judd, who plays the part of Callie, a very seductive soul who lives in the woods with her mute boyfriend.
Fraser's character soon begins lusting for Judd (and who wouldn't?) and has to battle with his religious upbringing and his impure thoughts. His self contained emotions makes him a very volatile person, as he feels God wants him to eradicate the new found evil.
Figure into the mix; the mute's deranged mother; an evangelic undertaker; and a wandering circus family. This is a very entertaining movie to say the least. And Miss Judd mesmerizes.
