Cast: Matt Riddlehoover
Director: Steve Balderson
Synopsis
Having made a name for himself on the indie scene with the acclaimed Firecracker, writer-director Steve Balderson takes another giant step in pushing the envelope even further with one of the most original and daring films of the decade. Giving a performance that will be talked about for years to come, Matt Riddlehoover (actor, writer and director of the gay cult hit To a Tee) is stunning as Jonathan Barrows, a handsome, misanthropic college professor who literally loves himself. Whether taping his own photo on a blow-up doll or given to lustful choruses of "I love myself" for sexual satisfaction, Jonathan is a narcissistic wonder who has found the startling answer to the question: Who do you have sex with when you're the best-looking and smartest person in the room?
Fending off advances from both men and women, Jonathan's lifestyle choices soon demand a high cost, which director Balderson explores in set pieces both blisteringly comic and cynically dark. Like a John Waters epic from his midnight madness years,Watch Out is a fascinating tapestry of sexual excess, sordid characters and questionable taste.
Bizarre and dark, just the way you like it!
Released by Breaking Glass Pictures, a company owned by former TLA employees!
Review
Writer/director Steve Balderson has created this bizarrely memorable character as portrayed by Matt Riddlehoover that will not soon leave this writer's memory. Jonathan, a university professor, so traumatized by his insane parents that he makes love to Polaroids of himself and he tapes a picture of his face to a love doll, which of course, he fucks mercilessly. Oh, and by the way, he’s naked a lot, there’s a cum shot and men and women always want to bed him. Doesn’t this film sound intriguingly weird? It is.
