Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

Instead, go to the zoo, buy some peanuts and feed 'em to the monkeys. Monkeys are funny. People with amnesia who don't say much, just sit there with vacant eyes are not all that funny.Black comedy? There isn't a black person in it, and there isn't one funny thing in it either.Walmart buys these things up somehow and puts them on their dollar rack. It's labeled Unrated. I think they took out the topless scene. They may have taken out other stuff too, who knows? All we know is that whatever they took out, isn't there any more.The acting seemed OK to me. There's a lot of unfathomables tho. It's supposed to be a city? It's supposed to be a big lake? If it's so hot in the church people are fanning themselves, why are they all wearing coats?

**SPOILERS** Turning all the women in town, which has barely 100 residents, on with his saintly and pure of heart sermons and, in the privacy of an out of town motel, his hot and lustful sex Pastor Paul Keller, Nicholas Walker, is just about worn out when it comes to pay any attention, sexual or outer-wise, to his mousy and frustrated wife Martha, Ally Sheely. Being stuck with not only Martha but her son, Pauls step-son, Edger(Vincent Berry) who just can't cut it in his school work is about all the outside pressures that the good pastor can take.One of the many women in town whom the righteous Pastor Paul has his eye on happens to be Edger's sexy teacher Veronica Dow, Dara Tomanovich, whom he's been having a very raunchy affair with at the out of town motel. The motel is run by the love-sick, for Paul of course, Charlence Hunt (Sally Kirkland) who's been secretly listening into Paul and Veronica's love-making secessions and getting herself all hyped up over them. Paul , since he was a little boy, has had this phobia about water. This all stems from when Paul was a little boy and saw his best friend Frankie Serig drown in the local watering hole with him being unable to save his life. It turns out that for some strange reason Paul uses the name Frank Serig when he registers into the motel with Veronica.Insuring himself for a cool million Paul then plans to get himself permanently lost, by faking his own death, and then have him and Veronica take off with the cash and live, in sin, happily every after. Checking out the local river Paul then plans to find a way he can make it look like he drown without his body being found but freaks out when he, while on a rowboat fishing, sees a vision of young Frankie drowning in it. Cracking his skull, by falling down and landing on his head, Paul falls overboard almost drowning himself.Finding his way back to Charlence's motel Paul also finds that he doesn't know who he is which to the hot as a pistol, for handsome and sexy Paul's love and affection, is heaven sent for the love starved Charlence. Charlence takes all the advantage that she can of the confused and bewildered Paul by making him her both private and personal slave boy. It's after Paul's funeral that Martha is contacted by agent Tim Bishop, John Savage, of Luckland insurance the company that insured Paul for a million smackers and things really begin to get wild. Bishop not at all believing that Paul is deceased but at the same time not realizing that it's Veronica Paul's secret lover, not Martha who knows nothing about Paul's policy, that was supposed to be the soul beneficiary. While all this is happening Paul is being held captive by the insane with love Charlence at her motel with no idea what all this fuss about him is all about!The film gets a bit convoluted when Bishop gets himself good and drunk and them showing up at Martha's house makes a complete jerk of himself trying to drunkly and sexually attack her where he only ends up out cold on her bed with his pants off. Bishop's bizarre behavior has Veronica, who knows that Paul is indeed alive, get Martha to blackmail him into paying her, and with the fact that she came up with this great idea, and Veronica the insurance money. The big stumbling block in the entire Paul business is that he's alive and that Charlence also knows that he's alive and with her insane actions threatening to expose that fact, to Bishop, and being stuck on Paul that she won't let go of her dreamboat even if it kills her or him.You can't help feeling sorry for Paul in all this since no matter what bad things he did in his past, and it was a lot, he wasn't exactly himself or anyone else, at the time of his demise. Being the nameless and mindless entity that he became when the ax came down on his head, in the form of an off-the-wall Charlence who together with Veronica and Martha, made it difficult to accept that Paul paid for his sins since he had no idea at all that he ever made them.

This movie was better than I'd expected, full of black humor and had pretty good acting. Sally Kirkland was very convincing as the lonely and obsessed hotel owner. Poor Ally Sheedy has resulted to playing in these low budget films, although she is a very talented actress. Anyways, the movie was pretty good, but I really thought the ending was pretty awful, with lots of loose ends. There is no way that Ally's character and the adulteress, Edgar's teacher, could have got away clean with that insurance money. I mean really, they didn't even discuss what to do with the additional bodies and how they were going to cover it all up! Plus, when they dumped her husband's body in the lake, he was still bagged. If the police were to find his body, they would have known it was a homicide! I just thought the ending was quite a disappointment, with all the loose endings that weren't resolved. If those were wrapped up, I think this movie would have been a little more convincing.

Paul Keller (Nicholas Walker) is a Father married with the widow with a son Martha Keller (Ally Sheedy) and lives in a small town. He has an affair with the local schoolteacher Veronica Dow (Dara Tomanovich) in a hotel managed by Charlene Hunt (Sally Kirkland), who has a crush for Paul. One day, he pretends to fake his death and leave town with Veronica, but he indeed suffers an accident and loses his memory. A crap investigator (John Savage) from the insurance company comes to the town, where very strange situations will happen. This movie blends `Misery' with `Fatal Attraction' and is not indicated for all the publics, but for the viewers who enjoy a very black humor flick. My vote is six.
