Stockwell's Role:

Comment/Review:
This film is really bad. And if I say bad, I mean AWFUL!! YUCK!!! There is no proper word in any language I know to describe something so horrible, unbelievable, predictable and disgusting. They must be kidding. You can't produce something this bad and not be kidding. If you haven't seen it yet, do yourself a favor and do NOT watch it!!
