Synopsis:

A young man named Victor realizes the shortcomings of the Utopian ideals on the hippie commune where he was raised. Victor's mother is funding the commune where the guru Insley hypnotizes and seduces women with a technique he calls 'running.' Insley manipulates the minds of these women so that they give him their bodies and all their worldly possessions. Victor's childhood love, Becky, returns to take care of her deathly ill father. Victor, haunted by visions of Becky's death, is desperate to save her and himself by escaping from the polygamous cult. Preoccupied with Insley's free love philosophy, the adults of the community overlook the painful reality that the self destructive behavior of their children is most certainly due to early exposure to sex and drugs. To afford an escape, Victor tries to sell weed but is cut out by rivals competing for Becky's affection. Finally, Victor is torn between getting money from his mother who is entirely under Insley's influence, dealing with the violent drama of his drug-addled friends, and staying to save Becky as she spins out of control.

The wretched children born and raised on a rural hippie commune who flail through Adam Sherman's new film, "Happiness Runs," may not be as depraved as the members of the Manson family. But these teenagers, who were home-schooled in a climate drenched in sex and drugs, are a creepy lot. While the 40- and 50-something parents are fornicating and practicing new-age rituals, their aimless offspring spend their days drinking, smoking and dealing pot, ingesting any pharmaceutical they can get their hands on and having sex. With nightmare sequences in which the most promiscuous teenager, Becky (Hanna Hall), is shown with blood dripping down her arms, and soft-core scenes that ogle her naked body in various states of ecstasy (she belongs to everybody, she declares), "Happiness Runs" has the look and tone of an erotic horror film
