Legendary Hollywood star Dean Stockwell (TV’s Battlestar Galactica, The Manchurian Candidate) gives a commanding performance as Dell Farraday, a gruff, over-bearing father who inflicts his homophobia on his gay youngest son, Campbell (played by heartbreaker Jason Behr, of WB’s “Roswell” fame). Meanwhile, older brother D.J. (the equally studly Robert Glenn Keith) tries to keep the peace as the trio are unexpectedly stuck together at the family’s remote mountain get-away. The show more catalyst is Campbell’s new lover, Frank Dabbo (James Remar from TV’s Dexter and 48 Hrs), an escaped convict, that has more plans in mind than kidnapping Campbell’s heart.

Rites of Passage is a tremendously suspenseful dysfunctional family drama, from the wonderfully talented director Victor Salva (Powder).

Full of dynamite performances, riveting dialogue, and an amazing amount of tension, this is a smart, beautiful film that deals with sexuality and relationships, and explores the complex bond between fathers and sons. In the end, the ones that love you will stand by you. show less
