This intense psychological thriller from director Barry Jay is a must-watch. Jonny Beauchamp stars as a young man grappling with the sudden death of his abusive father. Stuck in a dead-end job as a pizza delivery driver, he learns that his father has died of a "massive heart attack." With the help of his AA sponsor, played by Sherri Shepherd, and his "girlfriend," portrayed by Ashleigh Murray, he begins to navigate his new reality. Inheriting his father's house and a pile of massive unpaid bills, he decides to rent out rooms. This leads to an encounter with a mysterious and unsettling stranger, played brilliantly by Mike Manning, who teaches him how to fight back.
No doubts, tempting to be real critic about it. But it is an unfair reaction. First, for the correct work of Mike Manning , proposing decent portrait of manipulativ revenger, poisoned at whole by past traumas and for not bad portrait of vulnerable Alex offered by Jonny Beauchamp.
But the good point is represented by Sherri Shepherd and Ashleigh Murray performances.
Another virtue - the problems explored, from the relation with abusive father to the fight against alcohol, feminine friends of a young homosexual and the desire as source of terrible troubles. And, sure, the education for a young man who was out of father good influences.
Difficult to ignore the cliches and the unrealistic situations, part of them too forced or artificial, but the end lines are fair clue about educational purpose of film.

A young man deals with the loss of his abusive father by taking advice from a charming, dangerous stranger who teaches him about life, sex, and fighting back.
This is a really good intense psychological thriller from director Barry Jay, it stars Jonny Beauchamp as a young man dealing with the sudden loss of his abusive father, he's in a dead end job as a pizza delivery driver when he finds out his dad died of a "massive heart attack" he's helped by his AA sponsor played by Sherri Shepherd and his "girlfriend" played by Ashleigh Murray. When he inherits his fathers house and massive unpaid bills he starts renting out rooms and here he meets a stranger played really creepy by Mike Manning who teaches him how to fight back.
This is where I'll leave you, the film takes you on a wild ride and a game of revenge, the acting and story is really interesting and terrific and I'd highly recommend you seeing this when it comes to streaming in February.
Thanks to Terror Films for the opportunity to share their film with me.
