I love Matthew Montgomery. I watch everything he is in. I dislike this movie. It is annoying in a way I cannot explain. I can see other liking it. It was not for me.

I waited so long to get this because I read a lot of bad reviews, but I got it cheap and took a chance. I actually liked it and am glad I bought it. I thought it was original and enjoyed a fresh story line. It's not a great movie, but better than the reviews would lead you to believe.

“Socket”
Dark and Wonderful
Amos Lassen
“Socket” is an amazing film with something for everyone. It is sexual, it is science fiction, it is dark, and it has comedy (and naked men). It is absolutely, in my opinion THE gay film to see. Sean Abley who wrote and directed “Socket” has made a film that he can be very proud of.
Derek Long plays Bill Matthews, a surgeon, who after being struck by lightning on a beach, finds himself no longer in control of himself. He begins his recuperation in the same hospital where he works and there he meets Craig Murphy (who you may remember from Cinema Pride’s screenings of “Long-Term Relationship” and “Back Soon”). Murphy is handsome and handsome who sees something in Matthews. It seems that he to has been struck by lightning and after telling Matthews about his own adventure, he adds that he has had some very odd desires since the occurrence. He then invites Matthews to a meeting of people like them.
Matthews finds himself drawn into the group meeting where he meets others who have been hit by lightning and all of whom have a craving for electric current. Murphy becomes Matthews’ guide and watches his friend becoming immersed in the group and sees that a relationship is beginning between the two men. As Matthews recuperates from the lightning, his body has an increased appetite for electric shocks which seem to be drug like in nature. The two men and the other members of the group begin to “juice up” more frequently as time goes by.
Matthews discovers a way to place sockets and prongs into the wrists of members of the group and they become able to “mainline” current or plug into each other to form circuits. I am sure some of you are thinking what a bizarre film this must be but I am sure you recognize what electric current represents here and this is a major problem in our community.
When a random encounter with a mugger occurs and results in the death of the assailant (quite by accident but due to the electrical prongs in Matthew’s wrist which were jammed into the man’s skull. The electrical impulses that control the human body were downloaded into the surgeon’s body and he realizes he has found a whole new level to his addiction. What happens next will have to wait until you see the movie.
Everything about “Socket” is a delight. The actors are great, the script is not only interesting but exciting, the sets are dark and relay the basic theme of the film and the direction is perfect. Granted the idea behind the film may seem to be a little far removed from reality, when you consider the extent that addiction of any kind plays in society, you realize that beneath what you see is a very strong message.

The actors are handsome men and I am sure could have found a better movie to be in. The only thing I can say is, that the uncut version has frontal nudity. Other than that, I feel I wasted money on this movie.

The movie is over rated and the acting is really bad. The story could have been better, I give it a 4 on a 1 to 10 scale!
