DON'T DO IT ! Not only does it cost $29.95, but they dare charge you a "flat rate" of $6.00 for shipping in the US, and $18.00 for shipping anywhere else. Of course, you ghet to know that only after your order has been processed, and you have no way whatsoever to get in touch with them. I say : get that kind of thieves out of the Internet !

Alright. Even if you bought this movie to thiefs, was the DVD good enough?
Otherwise, do you know where I can get the movie?

There's always a few crazy bad movie lovers who can't resist seeing the masters with their pants down. And there's also always a few die hard Kubrick fans who wannt to sit down smoke a cigrette and say "Guys I've seen every damn Stanley Kubrick Movie. I am a fan!"
I won't mind reading a lengthly review of this moive with stills. But I'm not crazy enought shell out money to buy it.

Doctor Fu Manchu,

The quote at the bottom of your post was originally coined by american poet Ella Wheeler Wilcox.

Just thought you'd like to know.

"Back off, man. I'm a scientist."

I found a new copy at a Barnes & Noble store for 50% off. It had been full price when I saw it there back in January.

cast and other info

the movie itself is not that bad as kubrick wanted us to believe there are quite a bit of the Kubrick trademarks in this film and some imagery is quite ahead of it's time. The acting isn't the best (but hey this is an independent film payed for by the Kubrick family)but also not the worst i can recall several worse examples in mainstream movies of that era.All in all not a bad first try from Mr. Kubrick and a must have for all Kubrick fans.
