...obsessed. Portraying sado-masochism as conducted by animals implicitly challenges the notion that this is an acceptable form of sexual expression; the masks draw a visible barrier between reason and desire. And as if that were not obvious enough, the film also includes a running dialogue between a man (er...dog) and his gargantuan, sentient penis.

...stay on the sunny side of an R, this one turns into a static courtroom drama -- and not very well made or played either.

Periodic shots of blood cells under a microscope underscore the linkage of vampirism, sex, corruption, death, and, you guessed it, AIDS by implication. But even this association...
