- DirectorAllan KingStarsChapelle JaffeBrent CarverDinah ChristieCarol Bolts adaptation of her stage play locks its audience in a claustrophobic bachelor flat for a night of black comedy, lust and terror. Jilted on her birthday by her boyfriend, Daisy picks up night club singer Rafe and takes him home. Is he a lover, liar or psychotic serial killer? Watch and see. Watch many times. The film is more complex than it seems and remains eerily contemporary in the issues that still compel us today: law and order, psychotic killers, police and human behaviour. Rafe is by turns charming, funny, and passionate and some would say a psychopath - that is, without feelings, but is he? Brent Carver beautifully portrays the fluidity and depth of this complex character. Daisy feels for Rafe even as her feelings for him turn fearful. A primary question in art as in philosophy is what the truth is. Rafe is a living exemplar of the dilemma. The dogma that says that you cannot make a drama with a liar as its hero is shown to beuntrue.

His best friend and protector is slightly older Jonathan Ben, better known as The Young Ben (as his father is referred to as The Ben), who is highly regarded as a problem by those in town who see themselves as the moral authority if only because of The Young Ben's association to The Ben, the town still keeper and drunk.

That stint leads to a series of events which make Brian see life around him through slightly older and wiser eyes.
