Re-Animator director Stuart Gordon takes the helm for this disturbing tale of a compassionate retirement-home caregiver whose life is turned upside down after a gruesome hit-and-run accident leaves a severely injured homeless man lodged helplessly in her shattered windshield. Despite her repeated promises to take her ailing victim to the hospital, the realization that the accident could destroy both her career and her future finds her uncharacteristically deciding to let the man die a slow death in her garage while conspiring with her boyfriend to dispose of the body. A fictionalized account of actual events, Stuck was co-scripted by director Gordon and frequent Tales from the Darkside contributor John Strysik. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

This off-beat romance centers on the love affair that blossoms between a pair of homeless outcasts. Veteran Sam has never recovered from his tour of Vietnam. With noting left but his knowledge, he earns coins with his poor recitations of Shakespeare. Equally traumatized Sarah ended up in the streets when a fire destroyed her home and family. She lives alone in an abandoned building. They meet when Sam saves Sarah from being beaten up by a gang. As he takes care of her broken body and spirit, a tentative relationship begins. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi
