We’re expected to believe these societies started popping up in a matter of weeks when everyone else behaves as if it’s been going on for years. But once they get to the compound, the film becomes ridiculous. Maury Chaykin gives a performance that blows everyone else in the cast out of the water.

Eventually, he is kidnapped and brought to a fascist compound being run by a sadistic teenager.Īaaaand that’s when the film really goes to hell.
