Limited second film from David Cronenberg

David Cronenberg's second film is a bit more indicative of his future cinematic vision than Transfer, in that this one has an ominous sci-fi/horror premise. It features two men, who are veterans from some future war, as they sit in a bath - but what's down the drain? While this one has more interesting ideas in it than Transfer and is a first small step in the direction Cronenberg would become renowned for, it is still essentially two fellas in a bathtub and the acting is horrible.
