8/10
As low-budget as it gets
12 January 2021
When hunky forest ranger Drew first walks amnesiac house-guest Mark into his home's living room, my reaction was YIKES, NO gay man would live with a room as plain as that, no matter how rural the setting.

Despite everything - the awkward script and gaping plot-holes, amateur acting, cheesy grainy camera-work, clumsy direction - I love this movie's deeply-felt compassion and heart, longing for connection and commitment - and steamy intimate love-making scenes. Towards the end of the story, there are several amusing and light twists revealing what's actually been going on with Mark, and something ironic that only Drew knew about him.

I like that both actors are actually gay here, it makes for an interesting energy. Personally I think that actor Aaron Orr is one of the naturally better-looking guys that I've seen on the screen, especially when he keeps whipping his shirt off. However this is the only feature that he ever made; after this he completely disappears. Both he and busy Matthew Montgomery have some presence on various social media.

I've been thinking that finding out how a potential boyfriend / partner reacts to both this film, and the gay masterpiece "Shelter" (2007), would be a very interesting way to test for compatibility.
