"Alright You Quacks, Let's Do It!"...

LUNATICS: A LOVE STORY stars Ted Raimi as Hank, a man who is a veritable prisoner in his tiny apartment. Hank is a bit... unstable. His entire life is pretty much one big hallucinatory nightmare. Hank also writes poetry.

Enter Nancy (Deborah Foreman), a young woman who believes her life is cursed. She just might be right. Nancy's also handy with a gun. Oh, and she writes poetry too.

Will these two kids be drawn together by the hand -or foot- of destiny? You betcha!

If you're tired of cookie-cutter, melodramatic love stories, then you should get a kick out of this insane rendition thereof. It's utterly bonkers, and yet it has a romantic heart -and liver- that can't be denied.

Both Mr. Raimi and Ms. Foreman are hilariously deranged. Bruce Campbell is along for the ride as Nancy's jerkweed boyfriend, as well as a mad brain surgeon, annnd Edgar Alan Poe on a book cover!

Watch this right now, but don't forget the aluminum foil...
