When an up-and-coming hip-hop star named Rapturious receives a special delivery from his well-stocked dealer, the hellish hallucinations he experiences make him wonder if he hasn't gone completely insane in writer/director Kamal Ahmed's mind-bending horror film. Rapturious (Robert Oppel) may have big talent, but his self-destructive drug habit has recently threatened to sideline any chance of real success. One day, Rapturious's dealer Louis (Hoya Guerra) slips his loyal customer a new drug that he promises will deliver the ultimate high. Intrigued, Rapturious eagerly takes the drug and quickly begins experiencing a series of profoundly disturbing hallucinations. Rapturious's manager Sid (Debbie Rochon) always knew that the rapper was a bit unstable, but when he begins claiming to see demons that are hungering for his immortal soul, she rightly begins to fear that he has finally fallen off the deep end. As his murderous visions get increasingly vivid, Rapturious begins to wonder if he is actually committing the atrocities that he sees unfolding before his drug-addled eyes. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

Two guys from Queens wind up in trouble with the mob because of their fondness for prank phone calls in this quickie comedy. Stars Johnny Brennan and Kamal Ahmed first found fame as "The Jerky Boys" thanks to a series of comedy albums featuring real prank calls in which the duo assumed a variety of abrasive and often extremely foul-mouthed characters. Playing characters based on themselves, they reprise many of these same routines in this debut film, linking the comic bits together through a loose plot concerning local organized crime. It seems the boys have used their phone skills to trick a local mobster (Alan Arkin) into thinking that they are notorious Chicago hoods, only to have to go on the run when their scheme is discovered. Made to capitalize on a Jerky Boys fad, the film failed to attract much of an audience beyond their existing fans. ~ Judd Blaise, All Movie Guide
