CGiii Comment

The Green-eyed Monster...

A sinister tale with incestuous innuendo...the acting lets it down.

This Little Piggy...

Unpleasant, unpalatable, unlikely...the writing lets it down.

Buyers Remorse...

Insulting on so many levels...its mere existence lets it down.

Kangaroo Court...

...the vile child lets it down...and the acting et al...

Man Eater...

A let down.

...Landon wrote that great little short...$30. Here, he displays none of that previous talent...a one short pony.

The(ir) Blurb...

In Santa Monica, a woman becomes alarmingly concerned over her fiancé's unnaturally close relationship with his teenage daughter. In Westwood, a sexual act turns into a psychological obsession for a young woman. In West Hollywood, a gay couple buys a young daughter and attempts to mold her to fit their lifestyle. In Holmby Hills, maladjusted kids and their equally maladjusted nanny play murderous games. In Sherman Oaks, a rape victim faces her violator. In these five stories, one thing is clear, everything is taken to extremes in California.
