Translation: we present, so you never have to rent this straight-to-DVD film due out in October, the three-minute graphic sex scene that probably helped keep Stuck out of most movie theaters...
Stuck actually sounded promising. In Europe, this would have been dark and disturbing and probably would've been robbed of a Best Foreign Film nod at the Oscars. Check out an Amazon.com review of the DVD, due October 14, probably written by a publicity hack but still worth checking out...
In it, the reviewer mentions how Stuck is about a nurse that hits a man on her way home (while, of course, popping ecstasy and talking on her cell phone, the greatest crime of all.) Unfortunately, the man does not die and in fact, remains-- yep-- stuck to her windshield. Instead of saving his life,
she pops more Ecstasy, has sex with her boyfriend, and wonders
how the accident might affect her promotion at the retirement home
where she works. This is not good, she figures. So instead of saving
Tom, she pleads, "Whay are you doing this to me," and then whacks him
with a board whenever he regains consciousness, hoping that he'll just
die already so she can dispose of his body. Re-Animator
Stuart Gordon's satirical film is ultimately about an American culture
that has become so self-absorbed that it is easier to refuse assistance
to a dying person than to inconvenience oneself. Brandi's refusal to
believe the accident was her fault, instead blaming the homeless guy
for the sticky situation, works as priceless comedy. Stuck is rich in
sex, drugs, horror, and graphic grindhouse gore.
It would've been great... if it didn't obviously suck! Here are the only three minutes you'll ever want to see:
