Summary: Circuit party
Comment: An interesting allegorical film on addiction, "Socket" is a sexy, dark, and perversely funny gay science fiction flick. After a lightning accident, Dr. Bill Matthews (Derek Long) receives an invitation from an intern, Craig (Matthew Montgomery, Gone But Not Forgotten). Turns out that Craig, like Dr. Matthews, is a survivor of a lightning bolt and he has friends with similar stories. What they also share, in a weird reversal of 12-step support groups, is a secret addiction. After that first taste, they all want more, and group leader Mike (writer/director Sean Abbey) has the generator to provide it.
Soon, Dr Matthews finds that he not only feels community with the juicers, but he needs more to function in his daily life. He brings the group new methods of more direct "connections," so to speak, and falls into a relationship with his intern. But like all too many addicts, Dr Matthews soon discovers that he needs even more than the group can give him, and tragically discovers the only way he can get the full dose he needs. The spiral of addiction fuels "Socket," and Dr Matthews' new double life adds to the tension.
The premise is interesting and the actors do a pretty good job of conveying the confusing world of professional level addicts. Dr. Matthews battles with the reality of his addiction and the facade he needs to maintain at work, sneaking off to "plug in" and hoping nobody discovers how deep he's gone. Long does a good job at this split personality, and Montgomery's turn as at first the guide and then the spurned to the group is "Socket's" best performance. If seeing a gay film that doesn't follow a typical path piques your interest, then the suspenseful "Socket" will turn you on.

Summary: I don't like this movie, so dark
Comment: I love the passion and the story in this story at first; however, the story turns out to be so dark. The way the group love dancing club and was addicted to electric reminds me uncomfortably about the dark side of the gay life that i never want to face and also drug. I should've been more careful when buying movie

Summary: socket
Comment: The plot was sort of obvious but it was good to see the two main characters were gay and in a loving relationship. I hate to admit it,
but the Male nudity (though not at all gratuituous) was the only
good thing about the movie.
Customer Rating:
Summary: trash
Comment: sorry, but again one of the movies with Matthew Montgomery, who hasn't made a movie up to now, where he is able to proof that he could act. If you like independent movies, this one might be for you, but I think this is just a film you should rent in a video store, if you actually wanna see it. It's not worth buying it. Ridiculous storyline and bad acting, pure trash.

Summary: Socket
Comment: Quite a well made gay love story with tragic serial killer twist.Some minor male nudity,very much in context and naturalistic but not especially erotic.
Quite well acted .Held my attention as story unfolded.
I enjoyed it as a good scifi yarn with beleivable characters.
