Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaDirector Andrew Fleming said on the Blu-Ray audio commentary that he fought a losing battle to feature rock band X's "Burning House of Love" on the closing credits. A studio executive named Ralph Saul fought against Fleming and insisted on Guns N' Roses' "Sweet Child O'Mine," which later became a hit. The band had originally planned to make a music video which featured clips from the film.
- GoofsWhen Harris is seen burned sitting at the chair next to the window , area around his eyes still has normal skin, possibly because it was too uncomfortable or not possible to put makeup there.
- Alternate versionsThe 18-rated UK video release of this film was cut by 22 seconds by the BBFC to remove closeup shots of self-mutilation with a knife and a scalpel, and to reduce a scene where a man is repeatedly hit by a car. The cuts were waived by the BBFC in 2018 for DVD/Blu-ray.

It's OK I Guess
It's one of those cult-suicide films were one of the members decided to back out of the mass cult suicide, which was death by fire in this case, she was the only survivor and ended up in a coma for 13 years in a hospital. They tried to find her family with no luck and when she awoke her mind was still in the 1970s not the late 1980s where it should have been. She was kept in the hospital but the cult leader came back to "haunt" her in a literal way - he wants her to commit suicide to join the cult on the other side. People end up dead when the cult leader tries to scare and drive her to suicide. Her psychiatrist falls in love with her and tries to help her.
It's an OK movie... I've seen much worse than this!! It held my interest for about an hour and a half anyway.
5/10
