A variation of Charles Manson and crew
"Charles, Tex, the Girls and Spahn Ranch are not hidden from those that remember. The acting is good, but the story line lacks. The director accomplished his mission of creating an open end ending, albeit, not very lucid. I, for one, was not left wondering. After all, it's Hollywood...."
