O.K.; all you fans of the weird; the first thing you have to do to enjoy this movie is see what is really going on. It's obvious that the guys in this College are Gay. After all, even the very whorish Mrs. Bouvier can't even seduce the boys and then knows that because of their being gay, virginal, and young, they've got to be Virgins, and remember that Virgin Sacrifices were common in ye days of Ole. Well, let's stop right there on the subject of these boys Virginity! Now, I liked this film. It's a hoot! Here's a Wanna-Be Ron Hubbard known as the Reverand Carmichael with a woman playing a little bit of Tammy Fay Baker in her characterization, and there's Drew Fuller not knowing that he'll be on Charmed in a couple years, but for now he's got to make the best of a bad decision, but when you come right down to it, I'm sure that when they all read the script they probably couldn't believe that they all had agreed to make such a turkey, so they've, it seems, decided to play it as a high school play with a bit of ham, tongue and cheek, nd shameless showing off while pulling out all the stops with the hoke! And no joke, it's works! You can tell that the guys are all gay when Billy, when first meeting Christopher, calls him Crisco, and Christopher tells him that his name is not Crisco, and Billy, looking at Christopher in a sexy way says that he was only trying to get under his skin! And then when they're all having dinner and the wine is poured, Billy says, "Soooo, we're gonna get trashed" is a gay type sound to his voice, and later when he reaches for Christophers wine and Mrs. B. slaps his hand, it's a campy slap and funny, but for some reason no one sees all of this. They don't even see Billy telling one of the other guys that he loves him in a gay, jokingly way! And listen to most of their voices, they're all playing it in a monotone way, and that' not easy to do! Now, everyone gets the wrong idea about these guys rubbing their bodies in bed at night. Yes, the scenes are sexual, but remember that this only happens when the guy goes up to the attic-voodoo-altar, and remember that they've been drinking that wine, and then the wine is poured on the guy who is tied down to the voodoo altar and then when the Reverand massages the wine all over the guys body, the other young men feel the same thing although their asleep.

The Gal playing Mrs. Bouvier looks like three different women in the movie. The sophisticated owner of the school, the whorish vamp who tries to find out how virginal her young men are, and the incarnation of a female Devil, who when Christopher accuses her of killing her husband, she calls him a very Evil Boy! That whole scene is campy as hell!

So, this movie was not meant to be a rival to Gone With The Wind, but if you can relax and stop making wild comments about how bad it is; you'll find out that it's quite good, and very entertaining, and isn't that what movies are all about? Entertaining?
