synopsis
In this independent horror film with a comic undertow, six college students traveling through Europe are forced to take shelter for the night in a large old rattletrap house. Trying to pass the time on a stormy night, the students play a parlor game in which they have to answer questions of a personally embarrassing nature. Several of the group reveal long held secrets, which apparently was rather upsetting to someone, because when the four get together for another trip a year later, someone seems determined to kill off their fellow students one by one. Taboo stars Nick Stahl, Eddie Kaye Thomas, Lori Heuring, and Amber Benson; the film was screened at the 2002 Sundance Film Festival.
