| SYNOPSIS - RITES OF PASSAGE Taut, excellent thriller with hunky leads that delves into homophobia, family relations and masculinity - all done in an entertaining fashion. REVIEW This taut, well-written and acted thriller couched as a family drama delves into issues of parenthood, masculinity, homophobia, childhood hurts, and one young man's misdirected search for a father figure. Del (the excellent Dean Stockwell) and his young lawyer son DJ (Robert Glenn Keith, the precocious pouty-lipped hunk in the gay short Death in Venice California) travel to their lakeside cabin to fish and talk. But when they get there, Del estranged gay son Campbell (Jason Behr) is unexpectedly there. Father and son have much to discuss but before and emotional scars are healed, two ominous strangers arrive. But are the two men (James Remar and Jaimz Wolvett) -- escaped convicts -- strangers to everyone? A riveting film with an original gay theme -- a young man's desperate search for paternal love, leads him into the arms of a sinister father figure. Written and directed by Victor Salva (Powder) |
