After killing her brutally abusive husband at the behest of her outwardly supportive online chat pal Amy, desperate housewife Nicole flees to her cyber-friend's country home only to discover that Amy is not what she seemed in the debut feature of award-winning Michigan-based writer/director James Bonner. Nicole has suffered for far too long, and through it all her only confidant was a faceless internet chat partner only known as Amy. As Nicole's violent husband grows ever more destructive and the battered wife begins fearing for her life, Amy implores Nicole to strike back with deadly force lest she meet a tragic fate at the hands of a raging monster. Upon reluctantly completing her grim task and hastily making her way to Amy's secluded home, Nicole is shocked to discover her friend's bloodied body lying lifeless in the bathtub. As Amy's tortured husband attempts to explain his precarious situation and Nicole's mind spirals into a frenzied blur of paranoia and distrust, the stage is set for a deadly struggle from which only one of the two victimized spouses is likely to emerge alive. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Following other indie films about the kinetic, drug-saturated rave culture such as Go (1999) and Human Traffic (1999) comes this ensemble movie, set in San Francisco. At the film's opening, the main characters are introduced at breakneck speed, including Leyla (Lola Glaudini) who recently arrived from New York, Neo-hippie Harmony (MacKenzie Firgens), who is celebrating her birthday with her boyfriend Colin (Denny Kirkwood), and Colin's nerdy brother David (Hamish Linklater), who would much rather read than rave. As the film charts David's first taste of chemically-induced ecstasy and his budding romance with Leyla, who serves as his trip guide, it also includes a small vignette of the tattoo and piercing set, including blissed-out drug dealers and their attempts at scamming on chicks, a skinhead looking for trouble, and a gay couple who just can't quite figure out where the blasted rave is. This film was screened at the 2000 Sundance Film Festival. ~ Jonathan Crow, Rovi
