Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaWriter/producer/director Sean Abley's direction to actor Matthew Montgomery upon seeing his lover's wrist socket was to "react like you're seeing the biggest cock you've ever seen!".
- GoofsWhen Bill is breaking up with Murphy, it can be clearly seen that Murphy's arms show no signs of either the surgery scars or the socket prong holes that were previously given to him.
- Quotes
[first lines]
Dr. Emily Andersen: For some reason you were left with no burn marks; however, the current used your hands and feet as its escape route, so you'll probably have nerve damage in all four extremities.
Bill Matthews: Permanent?
Dr. Emily Andersen: Not necessarily, but you should prepare yourself for the very real possibility that you won't be returning to surgery.

And so he does, and in the process he becomes romantically involved with Craig. Everyone at the group crave the sensation of electricity flowing through their veins. Now, electric shock is like a drug to them. Voltage. Power. Electricity. This is aphrodisiacs of a different kind!
Bill soon devises a way for them to plug into electricity - and into each other. Oops, wait, this is a gay movie, so I should probably rephrase that! Or maybe not, since they also do...erm...well, plug into each other! There's plenty of male (frontal) nudity, so if you enjoy the sight of a naked man, you will be satisfied. On top of that (...I should be careful with my wording...) Derek Long - who portrays Bill - is a deliciously handsome man. Hell, even his name sounds like a porn star!!
As the film progressed, it became more than just a bit weird. Although its a lighthearted fantasy about people being addicted to electricity, the principal is the same as being addicted to drugs, or substance abuse. It simply is more acceptable here, because we know it can't possibly happen. This is pure fantasy. And it's also a gay-themed movie. For a gay film, it certainly is unlike anything I've ever seen in this genre. This is not clichéd or predictable in the least.
For a low budget B-movie, the editing wasn't bad at all. The performances were also mostly good. This is an interesting choice of a movie, because those who enjoy fantasy might not enjoy the homosexual element, and those who enjoy gay movies might not enjoy the fantasy element. As for me, I think Derek Long made the movie more watchable than it ought to have been. And I also can't complain about those nude scenes and swinging dicks!
