CGiii Comment
Verow certainly knows how to alienate his audience - not that he has much of an audience.
Dwyer certainly knows how to mutilate a novel into an unrecognizable squashed banana.
Together, they make a couple of wannabe filmmakers out to fuck with people's minds - the only problem is that the people will walk out or switch off because they have taste and enough intelligence to disregard this cack.

The(ir) Blurb...
A first person narrative of the exploits of a gay serial killer in deeply disturbing, controversial drama about violence, sexuality, and the imagination. Dennis, the main character, whose lead we follow on this path between what is real and what we can only hope is surreal. His friends attempt to determine if he's truly a psychopath. The story, is told in the form of a succession of ritual-like murders, comes to life through the letters he writes to his sometime lover and best friend Julian and the object of his desire, Julian's younger brother, Kevin. The film is set in an erotic world of sado-masochism and portrays the sexual appetites of a young man for whom killing and engorging the victim become the ultimate thrill.
