Upon my first viewing of this film I realized how incredibly off key the screenwriter Ruddy Ricci was. In case you're wondering who he is, he has made several cameo appearences in some of the Romero 'Dead' films according to IMDB. The characters are washed up in their blatant hysteria for self-affliction, when all they really have to do, especially the Judith Ridley character (Night of the Living Dead) is sever all connections with her boyfriend Chris Bradley.
The story revolves around a young man named Chris Bradley (Ray Laine) who recently returned home from Vietnam. He wonders throughout the first ten minutes or so looking to score some weed and spends most of his time sweet-talking to some hookers until he finally meets his father. They have a pretty healthy relationship but nothing useful is absorbed from this sequence, it dosen't really tells us that much about him. Soon after we are introduced to Lynn, a well known actress/model in the local area, they hit it off and are soon smoking weed and humping each other like there was no tomorrow, all of this consumes about half of the movie by the way! Lynn soon discovers that she is pregnant with Chris' baby. Their relationship goes downhill thereafter when she considers to abort the baby.
This film was abandoned by George A. Romero who acused the screenwriter as being "incredibly naive and lazy" - (you can hear these comments on the Dawn Of The Dead Ultimate Edition documentary), and until this day still considers it the worst film he has ever made.
