Going Back is Bruce Campbell's second feature film, produced shortly after The Evil Dead and released in 1983. The film has been extremely rare to acquire for a number of years, due to contract disputes between the director, producer and the bankrupt original distributor. It was finally re-released on DVD in October of 2006. The DVD release features an additional audio commentary track by Campbell, director Ron Teachworth and cinematographer John Prusak.
[edit] Plot summary
In 1964 two high school friends, Brice (Bruce Campbell) and Cleveland (Christopher Howe), leave their suburban neighborhood near Detroit, Michigan to spend the summer in the countryside before going off to college. They are befriended by a lonely farmer, Jack Bodell (Perry Mallette), who offers them a place to stay. As days pass, Cleveland helps Jack around the farm and finds in him the father figure he lacks, while Brice falls in love with a local girl named Cindy. The unforgettable summer ends too soon, but the memories linger. Four years later Brice and Cleveland meet up in their senior year of college and decide to drive up to Jack's farm, where they learn that there is no going back.....
