Nicole and Jonathan, friends of Linda, go to her house to see what’s up, and find that something just doesn’t seem right, including a videotape of Linda playing on the TV. Linda, hiding in the shadows, then charges them, and Nicole knocks her in the head with a fireplace poker, accidentally killing her. We also see camcorder footage where Jonathan and friends are being interviewed, but their names and addresses are bleeped out. I’m guessing it was done to supposedly protect the innocent, but the more bleeps I heard, the more annoying it got, and I wanted to kick the shit out of the TV.
To help validate their suspicion, Jonathan attends the wake for Linda, held by the The Bryans, while Nicole waits outside recording any dialog that might take place. Some of the cult members find her, abduct her, and then later convert her. And, Jonathan is tricked into going to the mental institution, where instead of interviewing someone, is committed and locked up, supposedly under his mother's orders. But, after a short stint, he's broken out by a guy he’d met earlier, one of the few to evade the cult's influences. Their plan is to leave town, but Jonathan first wants to tell Nicole goodbye, and when he knocks on her door, the movie ends.
My first thought was WTF? To be honest, no matter how shotty this film was, I felt slighted. There were already so many things that were unanswered, and even with a ridiculous performance by George Wendt (Norm from Cheers), and cameos from Tiffany Shepis and Brinke Stevens, it left me scratching my head in disbelief. Granted, I haven’t lost any sleep over it, but wanted to punch the director in the face for ending it the way he did. It’s not like there will be a Bryan Loves You 2 to help explain the loose ends, and even if there was, who would watch it? So, don’t waste your time on this piece of crap, and if I were Todd Terry, I’d be ashamed to attach my name to it.
