...movies -- bell-bottoms, sex, monsters, drug use and murder -- and twists them in unexpected ways to explore psychology, symbolism and the weirdness of growing up. A sexually transmitted disease called "the bug" mutates its teenage victims in creepy, disfiguring ways, giving one an extra mouth, and another a little tail. But rather than making his protagonists fall in love while battling freaks, Burns makes them deal with the alienation of getting infected.

...actual band-drummer Paul Cook, guitarist Steve Jones, original bass player Glen Matlock and infamously thorny frontman, John Lydon (a.k.a. Johnny Rotten)-perceive the invitation as long overdue, asserting that they were the only people McLaren swindled, by deviously dividing their loyalties and dissolving the band at the tail end of their acrimonious debut North American tour...
