From the cinematographer of Vampire Time Travelers comes one unsavory bit of misery which may be inept all around but is definitely memorable. Paige Hopkins leaves her job at the local women’s shelter to take a position as a counselor at a half-way house for troubled “teenage” girls. She tries making a difference in the lives of the elderly-lookin’ young girls by being as sweet as can be but that shit ain’t flying with most of these assholes. Well, Paige has a pretty fucked up past and more than a few violent tendencies thanks to her trauma which may prove harmful to the wards of the house. Possibly mentally-challenged Laura becomes Paige’s favorite and she uses violence and fear to get a few others in line. A couple tough eggs keep pushing things and it’s not gonna end well for more than a couple folks. Buck-naked suicide, spanking, dismemberment, scheming, hotdogs and a shockingly strong focus on the after effects of abuse make for an interesting watch. Piss-poor acting makes it far easier to sit through because if it were actually in capable hands, this movie would be one hard to watch bit of 90-minute wretchedness.
