    • Trivia
      To portray the role of Stephen Booth, writer/director James L. Edwards gained 40 pounds and partially shaved his head, giving the appearance of male pattern baldness. Due to production setbacks as well as terminating the original lead actress and recasting, it was a look that Edwards had to maintain on and off for a year and a half.

    All the lonely people...
    A male colleague once told me about his many relationships with hooker and strippers by saying that they "appealed to his rich and varied fantasy life." He treated them like girlfriends, bought them expensive gifts and trips, and took care of their housing. In return, he got sex, arm candy and one way relationships where he had all the control. He wasn't really a cad. He was a sad and empty man who bought fantasy.

    James L. Edwards wrote, acted and directed this movie about a man whose entire life is a dead end job and an empty house. When the man can no longer bear being alone, he takes the advice of a friend and buys a few nights with a hooker. The hooker is an intelligent young woman with a dark secret. As two broken people try to help each other, the man finds he cannot let go.

    What happens in this movie has actually happened in real life, and Edwards is kind and compassionate about how he lets us into the world of his characterss. However, it is a horror movie, and not for weak stomachs.

    I liked the movie a lot, in spite of the "EW!"
