Cassie (Melissa Sagemiller)
is a new college freshman. One night masked men force her car off the road. Her
boyfriend Sean (Casey Affleck, American Pie 2, Drowning Mona) dies
in the wreck, and she then finds herself in some sort of limbo between the living
and the dead. It seems her boyfriend wants her to follow him to the afterlife,
and there is also some creepy connection to those masked men, who have been seen
collecting human blood. Is the priest (Luke Wilson, Committed, The
Royal Tenenbaums) who appears to help her good or evil? Cassie's best friend
Annie (Eliza Dushku, Buffy, Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back) and
ex-boyfriend Matt (Wes Bentley) both seem to be tied to a dark world. Annie's
lover Raven (Angela Featherstone) is also very ominous and mysterious. (Annie
is sleeping with both Raven and Matt.) And the anticipated lesbian content
with Buffy's Faith? Cassie follows the sounds of lovers in the library
and finds Annie and androgynous Raven in quite a passionate embrace, causing Cassie
to freak out a little. Later in a club, Raven is going down on Annie when Cassie
walks in on them. It's a teen thriller with masked killers, many a chase
scene and confusion between the living and the dead. Unfortunately, there's also
confusion for viewers, as the plot is a bit difficult to follow at times. Who
really survived the accident? |
