I don't have much to say on this..the plot..is confusing in a way...Chrissy is out to get revenge on her sisters death and she has a feeling that Goth killed her sister. And Goth is showing Boone and Chrissy about the Dark life of being goth. I found the whole steteotypical thing stupid..but oh well. The music is good, i enjoyed it. Theres a lot of Drug usage and boobs in the movie so if you're into that..go for it.

I expected to find some part of this movie enjoyable, whether it was even the costumes, the music, the storyline, something. I found not one thing decent. It was a total waste of money, the characters were pathetic, the acting atrocious, and bored me from the beginning to the end. It was just stupid. I expected something better from Brain Damaged Films, but this ISNT it. Dont bother wasting your money buying it. Rent it first so you will save yourself the frustration I feel for having paid hard earned cash for trash like I did.

I rented this movie expecting to see a portrayal of "Goth culture" in its stereotypical form (e.g. vampires, thrill killings, "embracing the darkness"), and well. . . I was right. However, me being familiar with the Goth scene (which is just music despite the claims of an angst ridden teenager), I was able to find some priceless humor in the movie. The humor doesn't apply to just the Goth scene, but any type of music scene where a large portion of its members try and make themselves out to be elitists and live their lives according to the image of whatever music it is that they're into. Goth ( the movie) can be easily described as The Doom Generation meets Training Day; except instead of the co stars (Chrissy and Boone [what the hell kind of name is that?]) struggling to make the narcotics squad, they're on a quest to be able to truly label themselves Goth, and prove to the main character - who by coincidence is named Goth - that they're not poseurs; which leads to Goth threatening the couple to take part in bad things (things that Goths allegedly do when they're together) by taunting them with the dreaded question: "What's the matter? I thought you guys were Goth?" Of course there are a few twists in this movie, but I can't figure out how to talk about them without giving everything away. It wasn't the best story in the world, but the movie did keep me entertained which is what it's supposed to do, and it had some really good industrial songs by some lesser known bands which I thought was cool. I'll just conclude my review with a few questions I have (and I'm sure you'll have) after seeing this movie: how could this be a movie about Goths if half of the soundtrack is Electronic-Industrial? How did Boone's glass refill itself with Absinthe after he clearly poured it out in the alley? And who in God's name is driving the van?
