You have to be a little crazy to fall in love. Hank's downright insane. They're lunatics and they're in love!
"Crazy love: Raimi style." - Marjorie Baumgarten, Austin Chronicle
"This unique romantic comedy/fantasy has some great scenes with animated spiders on Raimi's brain." - Michael J. Weldon, The Psychotronic Video Guide
"Like a less exploitative version of Psychos In Love by way of Repulsion except nowhere near as dark." - Ian Jane, Rock! Shock! Pop!
In a seedy part of Los Angeles, poet Hank Stone (Ted Raimi, Ash vs. The Evil Dead) has spent six months without leaving his apartment because of his paranoid delusions of sadistic doctors, rappers, and spiders.
Nancy (Deborah Foreman, Valley Girl), who seems to jinx things by wanting to help, is dumped by her boyfriend, finds herself penniless on the street and soon runs afoul of a local gang.
Hank accidentally calls her at a phone booth whilst trying to dial a "talk line” and invites her to his place. There they must help each other overcome their respective problems.
Also starring Bruce Campbell, Lunatics - A Love Story is a cult headtrip of a comedy from the producers of The Evil Dead, Darkman and Xena: Warrior Princess.
Plus: A Something Weird short film!
