How did Alexis Arquette end up in this New Zealand film from the 90s? and how does he pull off the a perfect Noo Zelind accent? my theory is he was having a relationship with Garth Maxwell the director who gave him the role as his actual acting is a bit highschool drama.
Alexis is Jack who along with his sister Dora were given up for adoption as children. Dora went to a nice older couple while Jack went to a psycho farm family who abuse him physically and psychologically.
Very gothic but not quite horrific. Best scene is Jack hypnotising his real father to death by making him do sit ups "hey dad why don't you do something about your weight you fat shit!"
YES - I can't get over how good his accent is, if you didn't know he was American you would think he was from NZ.
