Watch Out
Steve Balderson 2008
Categories: Feature Film
Run time: 108 min. | United States
Watch Out, based on the controversial novel of the same name by Joseph Suglia, is the story of Jonathan Barrows, a man who falls in love with himself, literally. Secretly and passionately attracted to his own body, Barrows carries out an erotic relationship with a blow-up doll that resembles himself, and takes pleasure in rejecting the advances of his many admirers, both male and female.

In one of the movie's most memorable scene - and frankly Watch Out is a movie consisting almost entirely of memorable scenes - Barrows has sex with a blow-up doll with a photo of himself over the doll's face. Even when he shares a scene with other people, it's Barrows' internal monologue that drives the film as he descends into a world of carnivorous priests and Prozac-popping Polish prostitutes, eventually assassinating the world's most popular pop-diva. "You strange creatures," Barrows declares, "you are nothing more to Me than a meal at the fast-food restaurant of life." But who will end up being devoured?

This guerilla-style film - shot on the fly without permits - stars a bevy of underground scenesters, including Matt Riddlehoover (the actor/director and MySpace sensation best known for his award-winning comedy TO A TEE), Peter Stickles (Shortbus) and burlesque sensation Lady Monster.

Graphic, sensationalistic and audaciously daring - Watch Out is the perfect late night flick!
