Wright was the dippy lesbian in Girlfriends and she gives Sabbath a similar flightiness, the nervous soul of a girl who revels in sex and sin. Harry Dean Stanton is properly menacing as the conniving Asa Hawks who wants to torture Haze in a fraudulent game of redemption. Daniel Shor fusses and leaps about hilariously in an ape suit as the deranged Enoch Emery, whose new Jesus is a shrunken South American mummy stolen indiscreetly from the city MVSEVM. And Ned Beatty, the only "name...
