Review of Frisk (1996) by Stephen B — 15 Aug 2008
I loved Dennis Cooper's book, I LOVE Parker Posey, Alexis Arquette and Craig Chester are cool too... but this movie didn't work. It's controversial just to try to adapt the story: you face criticism from GLAAD, you have to make a choice if you are going to show the grotesque violence, and you have the child actor issues if you want to really stay true to the story.
Sure, the main elements are pretty much there, but I think the story was changed too much and just didn't have the impact of the book. It's not the worst movie I've ever seen by any means, but it's disappointing if you've read the book and it probably has even less impact for people who haven't read the book.
