TREVOR



THE CAST

TREVOR GOODEN: DEAN WINTERS

Thankfully not the Trevor you know but a guy from South Africa with a distinct taste in and smell of undies….oh, hang on, that is the Trevor you know. This Trevor gets his come-uppance due to his philandering and his determination to have his wife killed so he can inherit her money. The revolver go *bang*, the window go *ping*, he dead.

KIRSTY COTTON-GOODEN: ASHLEY LAURENCE

The heroine / villainess of the piece who makes a deal with the nail faced one for submitting five souls in exchange for hers. This submission makes me feel a lot better when I see what I have to go through to submit my tax returns yearly.
 
PINHEAD: DOUG BRADLEY

The aforementioned nail faced one – the urbane, polite Cenobite demon with the painful nipple cripple who seems to take no pleasure in doing what he must but causes chills to cascade down the spine of the writer when he says the line “I used you, Trevor.”

DETECTIVE LANGE: WILLIAM S. TAYLOR

The investigating officer into Trevor’s accident and Kirsty’s disappearance and the only person who appears to be convinced of my namesake’s innocence. He later proves himself to be a bad gift giver as well as a real two-face.

DR ALLISON DORMEER: RACHEL HAYWARD

Trevor’s guardian angel who is there for him during his flashbacks, his headaches and even after his death. Creeps her co-workers out by talking to corpses.

BRETT: TREVOR WHITE

AKA The Cookie Monster: Trevor’s nosy supervisor, eater of many cookies and partner in the failed attempt to kill Kirsty for her money. Blown away.

CHIEF SURGEON / CORONER: DALE WILSON

AKA Dr Butcher, MD: Allison’s wisecracking colleague who is seriously creeped out by her chatting to Trevor after his death.

GWEN STEVENS: SARA JANE REDMOND

Trevor’s stiletto and lingerie-wearing dominant boss who is killed by the same idiot from the movie The Demon or at least someone who copies that killer’s modus operandi.

SAGE: KAAREN DA SILVA

Trevor’s acupuncturist who is needled by Trevor and then finally needled to death with an ice pick through the head.

TAWNY: JODY THOMPSON


Trevor’s pretty neighbor who has interesting tattoos in very interesting places. Has an interesting way of dying too.

DETECTIVE GIVENS: MICHAEL ROGERS

The bad cop to Lange’s good cop: wears an alarming amount of eye makeup to indicate that he is actually dead, much like Don Gordon’s character in Papillon.

MERCHANT: CHARLES STEAD [DOUG BRADLEY]

The stall owner in the disgusting market who sells Trevor the Lament Configuration as a present for his wife. Has a serious bird plague / bad special fx problem.

LESSONS LEARNED

There can never be too many Trevors in a film, including the one watching it.
Beating the crap out of a suspect beats eating donuts.
Trevors can be an interesting study. Oy.
Cookies are good enough for the Cookie Monster and for raising blood sugar too.
The afterlife and the hell of purgatory before it can be one major headache.
Some boxes should never be opened.
The worst nightmare of all is reality.
Trevors can also be used for bait.
Five souls can be exchanged for one quite easily.
Never use a bald guy with nails in his skull as your acupuncture specialist.
Never trust a boss who wears stilettos, a garter belt and stockings to work, slams you into a vending machine and then tries to ride you like a bucking bronco at home.
Solving all problems is not a simple task.
Trevors can be used. Dunno what for, but they/it/he can be used – just discard the underpants and add water and washing soap. Lots.

QUOTES

Pinhead: “I used you, Trevor. You were nothing more than bait.”
Trevor: “Are you a dream too, Allison?”
Kirsty: “I am done believing! I trusted you!”
Brett: “Must be nice. Getting paid for doing s**t.”
Pinhead: “Poor Trevor: still in the dark?”
Kirsty: “No. You had a deal, but I made a better offer. And guess what? He took it.”
Pinhead: “Welcome to the worst nightmare of all: REALITY!”
Coroner: “It wasn’t your lucky day, was it?”
Pinhead: “All problems solved? Not so simple, I’m afraid.”
Doctor Butcher MD: “Trevor! Trevor! Wake up, Trevor!”
Kirsty: “I will bring you five souls in exchange for mine.”
Pinhead: “The killer is amongst us, yes.”
Allison: “Sorry I had to leave you like that for a minute, Trev, but I’m back. Can you hear me, Trevor?”
Coroner: “[Expletive deleted], Allison: what possesses you to talk to cadavers?”
Detective Lange: “You look like hell warmed over.”
Trevor: “I’m the fifth soul.”
Allison: “It’s OK, Trevor, you’re safe now.”
Merchant: “I can see into your soul.”
Pinhead: “It seems you’ve reached the end of your journey.”
Trevor: “Just open the [expletive deleted] box!”
Coroner: “And we have a winner!”
Detective Lange: “It’s all good, Trev, it’s all good!”
Brett: “Grab yourself a cookie.”
Pinhead: “I said IN TIME!!!!”
Coroner: “You’re creeping me out and I’m the coroner.”

THE PLOT

Trevor Moses… umm..Trevor Gooden has a major issue with life in general. Stuck in a crummy job with a nymphomaniac boss and a nosy cubicle buddy, he receives no solace at home after his wife Kirsty finds out about his inability to keep little Trevor in his pants. Buggedout

Note to the reader: Not so little.  Wink

Shortly after another confrontation with his wife in which the latter lady has some weird issues with opening up an anniversary present, a road trip to ‘work things out’ ends in disaster as their car swerves to avoid an oncoming truck, aquaplanes off the road and crashes into a river, leaving Trevor dazed (more than usual anyway) and his wife Kirsty missing, presumed drowned and dead.

Trevor comes to in hospital, seemingly for him almost immediately but actually a month later. No one, including his doctor Allison and her colleague seem to know what happened to Kirsty and all Trevor knows is that he has excruciating headaches and is tormented by visions of a nightmarish neurosurgery procedure being conducted on him sans local or foreign anesthetic and a hellish figure with nails in his head.

Trevor’s lingerie wearing, nymphomaniac boss, who has a habit of slamming both him and his John Thomas into a vending machine, also compounds his problem both in his head and in his other head. After being so roughly treated, that vending machine should not be expected to dispense any change after that. Wink

As if that wasn’t bad enough, Trevor is constantly being hounded, not only by the weird buggers on the bus he rides home, the barking dog with a strep throat, his boss Gwen who tries to seduce him at home but also by the cops who seem to turn up anywhere, even sitting at his desk while he was talking to his nosy supervisor.

The headaches grow worse for Trevor and for the viewer too.

Gwen turns up dead, courtesy of Trevor’s strange video camera and lo and behold, Trevor is the suspect, not only in Kirsty’s disappearance but also in his boss’s death.

The flashbacks and the splitting headaches continue as his nosy supervisor commits suicide in front of him after quitting his job, his neighbor Tawny is hogtied to a chair and killed and his acupuncturist Sage also develops a splitting headache, courtesy of an ice pick.

Now, things are getting weird, not only because Trevor vomits an eel but also the fact that Detective Lange proves himself to be a real two face in the Dead Files section of the police precinct, where Trevor faces an eerie morgue littered with the detritus of several Oopsie operations and a shrouded body on an operating table.

Then the nail faced one named Pinhead appears, ruining the walls and rattling the lampshades, informing Trevor (while holding him very carefully in place with some well-placed chains and hooks) that he was nothing more than bait for the one person who has defeated him before, namely Kirsty who proves to be the villainess of the piece as she was the one who killed Gwen, Tawny, Brett and Sage – five souls, plus Trevor’s, in exchange for fresh laundry and her own soul.

Trevor discovers that he is actually Victor Sjostrom in Wild Strawberries…….ermm, the fifth soul as part of the Pinhead / Kirsty deal as he realizes that he, not Kirsty died in the crash and that he has been in hell throughout this time, much like the viewer of this film.

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.

    Lesson Learned:
    • Osmosis: os·mo·sis (oz-mo'sis, os-) n., 1. When a bird eats something.
