Reviews

What a shame this couldn't have stuck more to the book...! "Nathan" (Stephan Bender) is a newcomer in a rural bible-belt American school where he meets and falls for "Roy" (Max Roeg) an only slightly older boy who drives the school bus. They embark on a clandestine relationship. Slowly, however, their passion becomes subsumed in issues of trust and filled with dread and fear of being caught - leading to an horrific conclusion that is done for cinematic effect; it isn't as Jim Grimsley ends the novel. The performances from the two principals is actually quite strong and endearing, though, and for a very low budget film it is a decent effort.
