Very noticeably a zero budget film but even with Hollywood money it wouldn't have been great as it's all just far too obvious. There have been a lot of films made about Vietnam post traumatic stress disorder. This must undoubtedly be the worst of all of them. Imagine Jacobs Ladder meets a drug addiction exploitation film with a rip off of Eraserheads mutant baby (except that makes it sound awesome!) The storyline is blatantly influenced by the band Suicides wonderful song Frankie Teardrop, in that the main character Frankie ‘shoots his wife and kid’. Incredibly gritty and depressing, it wants to be a serious film but was released by Troma studios. If you’ve ever seen a Troma movie, that is all you need to know.
1/5
