- DirectorPaul VerhoevenStarsJeroen KrabbéRenée SoutendijkThom HoffmanA man who has been having visions of an impending danger begins an affair with a woman who may lead him to his doom.This movie is based on a book by Gerard Reve, a Dutch novelist who is very famous in the Netherlands. It's quite useful to know something about this writer, for it helps to understand the movie. Reve was one of the first public figures to come out of the closet. Many of his novels contain explicit homosexual content. Practically porn. Furthermore Reve's career was marked by lot of controversies, and not only because of just his literary work. For instance, he also made a lot of television appearances and quite often his performance was shockingly provocative. Most of his books are about himself and are written in the I-form. Nevertheless they contain a lot of fiction. Reve wrote about himself as an alcoholic, a catholic, and as a very cynical, selfish, opportune man. Not at all likable. Most Dutch people have read some of his work and are aware of his personality, whether it's real or not.
He was the only person in the Netherlands who ever got prosecuted for breaking the law against blasphemy. In his book "Nader tot U" (1966) he writes about making love to the incarnation of God as a one-year-old donkey. Eventually he was acquitted.
So when Reve writes about having sex with a woman, no-one in the Netherlands thinks he all of a sudden turned bisexual. It is used to emphasize the magical power this woman, who might or might not be a witch, has over him.
Jeroen Krabbé is perfectly cast as Reve. Possibly one of the best roles of his career. I alway thought Krabbé, who btw is not gay, has a slight effeminate side. Here he is able to use it with aplomb - and thank god he's not overplaying it. He also manages to imitate the constant cynicism of Reve while keeping it subtle at the same time.
The direction of Verhoeven is superb. I'm not a big fan of his,
neither of Reve of Krabbé. But somehow everything fits perfectly in this movie. There's a lot of Hitchcockian suspense. The score helps a great deal. The camerawork is very clever. The somewhat overt symbolism actually is spot on in this specific case, because this makes that the audience constantly sees what Reve is experiencing.
Haven't finished writing this review. Just a sketch. - DirectorPaul EtheredgeStarsDylan FergusBryan KirkwoodHank HarrisHalloween in West Hollywood, two guys making out in a park are interrupted by a serial killer. Later that night, a group of gay kids decide to visit to the site of the murders.Highly recommended for those who are in search of a good scary horror movie with a handsome gay lead character and a nice romantic subplot.
This review contains spoilers!.
Hellbent is probably the best movie available at the moment, that really covers the gay-horror subgenre. First of all it's really a horror movie and not some camp spoof. There are a few funny moments, but they don't interfere with the horror plot and they don't ruin the suspense.
Secondly the protagonist is a handsome young gay guy who gets romantically involved and this subplot really works! Well at least it worked for me. This is less the case in Bite Marks, Zombies of Mass Destruction and Cthulu (see below).
At the end our hero has to rescue his lover - and succeeds in this. An "old fashioned" happy ending which in this specific case is very welcome to me.
This movie is very well made. The only questionable thing is the use of very dominant primary colors during the late night scenes. This is not the case in the daylight scenes, which are actually built on pretty smart color schemes. Because of this contrast I've actually began to like the overdone coloring of the scenes that otherwise would be plain dark.
This review is somewhat short. In future I'll try to improve it, but for now I only want to state once more, that I like this movie very, very much. I've seen it several times and it doesn't start to bore, which is quite unusual. In contrary I like it better with each repeat viewing. Usually I watch it on Christmas Day, while drinking a lot of booze. Afterwards I watch Black Christmas - the original ofcourse. Some kind of personal tradition that's rather difficult to explain... - DirectorAdam BrooksMatthew KennedyStarsPaz de la HuertaAdam BrooksMatthew KennedyA film editor gets embroiled in a string of murders.
- DirectorMark BessengerStarsWindham BeachamBenjamin LutzDavid Alanson BradberryTruck-driver Brewster takes over his missing brother's delivery of a load of coffins to a funeral home. He picks up hitchhiking gay couple Cary and Vogel whose relationship is in trouble to help him stay awake but when his GPS leads them into a deserted junkyard, his truck breaks down, stranding them. NIght falls, and the coffins reveal blood-thirty vampires. Now the mismatched trio must barricade themselves in the cab of the truck and try to survive until dawn...Bite Marks is unjustified underrated. Yes, it IS low budget and yes, it has some very obvious weaknesses, but in contrary some other aspects are very well done.
First of all the cinematography by Clifton Radford. I thought the chosen compositions were clever, appropriate and aesthetically pleasing. The colors and the use of filters sometimes a bit overdone, but not too disturbing to my taste. And it's always a bit of a relief if those totally cliché dark blue, washed-out colors, which for some reason seem to be incredible popular nowadays, are absent. I'm so sick and tired of that brainless "approach of style".
Secondly - the music of Rossano Galante. According to his imdb page he is a very successful composer and the orchestrator of the music of several big Hollywood productions. (The Thing, Don't Be Afraid of the Dark, Repo Men, Max Payne, etc) It doesn't surprise me at all, because the music of Bite Marks is just very good! Probably the best element of the movie, when judged separately. And not a sign of thrift. A lot of scenes have 'custom' written music of their own. It supports the different types of mood and the tension perfectly.
Thirdly the movie starts with a very nice animation to present the opening credits. Well, after the prologue that is of course. It wasn't very expensive - clearly not - but at least they tried to make something out of it, instead of choosing the most obvious way: embedding some hard coded titles directly to the film. To me this animation sequence is like the frame around a painting. It adds something extra to the presentation of the film. It really sets the mood. Hearing the music, watching the animation. It all makes me want to see the movie.
The weak part is that the movie focuses to much on some gay aspects - which to be fair, are not very interesting - and not enough on creating suspense and horror. I like gay romance of course, otherwise I wouldn't have made this list. But the relationship of the main couple in this movie, two holiday hitchhikers, isn't very believable. This was done a lot better in Hellbent, although not perfectly either. The subplot about the closeted truck driver was a bit better, but in the end it seemed wasted too. This part was played by Benjamin Lutz and I must say he did an excellent job. A quite talented actor. Handsome as well.
Another weak part is the sound. Probably because of the budget.
It's not very disturbing, but sometimes you'll notice it. There's a fair chance they managed to achieve the best possible, with such limited financial resourses.
I don't get it, although I AM gay, I haven't the faintest idea why anyone would like to watch the intercourse scene in that disgustingly filthy public restroom. They could've filmed it easily in all kinds of different ways and it could be situated in a lot of different places. Clean places. Or someplace, somewhere, that adds to the romance. But there's a total absence of anything romantic during the entire picture. I'm exaggerating a bit, but it could have been done a lot better, I'm quite sure of that.
Nevertheless the story is clearly structured. It has an interesting approach on the vampire tale. And thank god, there's no tragedy and drama about becoming or being a vampire. Vampires are just dangerous monsters, which have to be destroyed without moral issues. Some parts are rather scary. Not extremely, but the suspense is there.
Some of the jokes work pretty well. I liked the references to the original Fright Night. The apple, the way Cary says "charmed", Geoffreys saying "You're so cool Brewster". It was a bit strange to see Stephen Geoffreys that "old". He actually made a remark about it himself: "I'm getting to old for this". I wonder if it was scripted. At some point there's even a very clever similarity between the scores of the movies. The music when Vogel and Brewster are sexually involved with each other is much alike the music when Dandridge and Amy are having a "close moment".
I think this film will mainly appeal to an all male gay audience. I've seen it twice now and I liked it the second time even better. It sure doesn't deserve its current low imdb rating. - DirectorTom ShanklandStarsLee WilliamsMarc WarrenEmily HolmesYoung Tim Cornish's life has begun with great promise. Blessed with extraordinary good looks, Tim enjoyed much attention and cared little of broken hearts. At University he was a favored student in a prestigious creative writing course, but a chance meeting, a stolen kiss and a sudden flare of passion sets Tim on a journey of betrayal, heartbreak and murder. In a flashback, he tells his story of cruelty, love and a soul-destroying guilt that offers little chance for redemption.A beautiful dramatic thriller. Among the best TV movies I've seen. Very professionally made. The visuals are all splendid. The tension is built with a lot of care. The score accompanies all dramatic events with the appropriate atmosphere.
Like "The Talented Mr. Ripley" this is not really a sincere true-love story. The main character - much alike Ripley - fulfills most prominently some kind of merged role of both prota- and antagonist at the same time. - DirectorMartin DonovanStarsHart BochnerColin FirthDora BryanIn early 1980s Buenos Aires, a struggling movie theater owner takes in a roommate but suspects he is responsible for a series of political assassinations.Superb, an incredible strong movie. Very tense, very atmospheric. Highly - highly - recommended.
The gay plot is sub-textual. But very deliberate. - DirectorGiuliano PetrelliStarsJohn Phillip LawFernando ReyOlga BiseraIvano is a wheelchair-bound man with some strange perversions. He gets his sexual kicks by spying on Arturo, their tenant in the apartment next-door and forcing his sexy accomplice Olga to watch as well. To increase his perverse thrill, Ivano persuades Olga to seduce Arturo and to have sex him as he watches. Unfortunately for all involved, the sex game starts to get very deadly.Subplot
8.5/10 - DirectorPeter CarterStarsHal HolbrookLawrence DaneRobin GammellFive doctors on a wilderness outing are stalked by disfigured, crazed killers.This extremely suspenseful horror movie has a remarkable gay character in it. I hesitated about calling it a main or supporting role. The story is about 5 doctors on a wilderness outing and one of them is gay. So he is one of the protagonists. This is actually the earliest movie I could think of, no matter what genre, that has a openly gay character, without that being an issue. He is as much a part of the group as any of the other four guys. Moreover he is characterized in a non-stereotype way. Just an average guy. It isn't even really important for the plot, but strangely enough it makes some of the drama all the more gripping.
Don't let the average imdb user rating put you off. A lot of people voted it a 10, but the calculation system happens to ignore that. - DirectorAnthony MinghellaStarsMatt DamonGwyneth PaltrowJude LawIn late 1950s New York, a young underachiever named Tom Ripley is sent to Italy to retrieve Dickie Greenleaf, a rich and spoiled millionaire playboy. But when the errand fails, Ripley takes extreme measures.Don't know if Mr. Ripley is the protagonist or the antagonist, but he's the gay one in this thriller.
- DirectorBarbet SchroederStarsGermán JaramilloAnderson BallesterosJuan David RestrepoThe writer F. Vallejo returns to Medellin after an absence of over 30 years. He meets 16-year-old Alexis. Alexis is the kind of killer who knocks people off on command. The two are immediately attracted to each other.Beware, this review contains some serious spoilers!
It's actually pretty weird that an extremely unsettling movie as this one doesn't qualify for the horror/thriller genre. The body count must be something like 15 and most of these killings happen quite graphically on screen. One of the most cynical scenes take place at a ridge that is used by criminals to dump corpses - although a sign reads, that one is not allowed to do so.
After watching this film I had a very restless sleep because of it. Almost a nightmare even. It contained so incredibly much of my own concerns and worries. All my misanthropic, pessimistic thoughts about modern-day life and society. My irritations towards antisocial behavior (loud music playing everywhere). It was throughout very easy for me to empathize with the main-character's inner moral conflicts as well as his nostalgia-based sadness (fortuitously he even liked my favorite composer's music)
To me, this gripping, subversive film is a true masterpiece. Technically it's perfect. Dramatically it's beyond that.
10/10 - DirectorWilliam FriedkinStarsAl PacinoPaul SorvinoKaren AllenA police officer goes undercover in the underground S&M gay subculture of New York City to catch a serial killer who is preying on gay men.
- DirectorLou PetersonStarsTyler HanesJames Katharine FlynnRobert DionneCassidy is a senior at a NYC college and he's trying to balance the demands of school, his role as big brother to Jessica, a freshman at the same school and his role as best buddy to horn-dog Mike with his emerging feelings of attraction to men. This is further complicated by a string of co-ed murders on campus for which his sister fits the victim profile. Topping off the mix are vivid dreams of Jessica covered in blood and Mike making a play for his sister.Beware, this review contains some serious spoilers!
While I've been complaining about some lack of romance in several of my other reviews on gay horror movies, 'In the Blood' doesn't have any gay romance at all. And sadly enough there's nothing to complain about. It's just not a part of the plot. Cassidy, the main character, is a closeted gay adolescent, a senior at a NYC college. His repressed homosexuality is a major plot point. They could have added a secret love or something, but actually it's of no importance to the story. He tries to live a straight life, and he actually has an attractive girlfriend. But he needs to take Viagra to have intercourse with her and even then he doesn't manage to get to the "climax" (or whatever it's called in English).
He also suffers from having some nasty visions of his sister Jessica covered in blood. This of course is related to the horror part of the movie. A serial killer on campus is killing girls, who all more or less have the same profile as Jessica has. Right from the start of the movie it is made clear that these visions occur at the same time when Cassidy's real sexual feelings unwillingly take part of him. There's a very logical but nevertheless clever explanation to this. It may be not very realistic, but that's beside the point. Seeing the future never is realistic. This explanation is given later on in the movie by Cassidy's aunt. She tells him that these foretelling visions will become more clear, when he has free, fulfilling sex.
A modest trouvaille, isn't it? Or is that an oxymoron?
A huge dilemma for Cassidy. To save his sister, he must have his first gay sex experience. And it needs to be a good one too.
It may sound all very comical, in fact it is served deadpan and in total earnest.
A lot of reviewers seemed to hate the ending. (So here come some spoilers). I haven't the faintest idea why. This movie is partly a whodunit, like for instance Scream. There are just a few people who'll make a probable killer. Cassidy actually is the first one. He's having these strange visions, and at first we don't know why. Was he is spectator, or is he seeing things he's planning to do? We really don't know. The second one is the new boyfriend of Jessica, Michael, a right Casanova. Is he just taking advantage of her and did also date the previous victims? We don't know. The third one is the dean. He has a lot of documentation collected about the killings. Is it just because he wants to warn the girls and to track down the killer? And why did he talk Jessica's out of her plans to dye her hair? As I said - a straight whodunit.
There are a few other people involved, but they would make a less probable assassin. The most important one is a male prostitute Cassidy has been visiting. At the end there's some huge mix-up. Cassidy thinks Michael is the killer, Michael thinks it is the prostitute. And Jessica has had some interfering visions as well. This actually makes sense because of the aunt's story we already knew it was an inheritable talent.
To me it all seemed very plausible. The only less logical aspect was the visions Jessica had about the dean. This could have been let out. The newspaper explained enough. But that's just a small detail.
So in short. I liked the ending.
And I liked the movie too. - DirectorJerome SableStarsMinnie DriverMeat LoafAllie MacDonaldA snobby musical theater camp is terrorized by a blood-thirsty killer who hates musical theater.Horror-comedy-musical. A bit Waiting for Guffman goes slasher. A bit darker than Drop Dead Gorgeous (1999). But it definitely isn't as funny as either of those movies
A supporting character is gay or two actually
And at the beginning of the movie, there's a song called "I'm Gay (but not in that way)."
It contained a couple of nice gruesome killings. Parts of the movie swap from unconvincing camp to plain silliness. The parody parts are not very clever, and they miss some sharp edges as well. Moreover the movie borrows elements from a large range of (horror) movies, but it fails to reveal for what purpose.
I still enjoyed it. Probably a bit more than it deserved.
6.5/10 for entertainment.
Edit: I don't agree any more with my first little review above.
I've seen the movie a lot of times since then, and it got better with each repeat view. Especially the treatment of the music is very well done. First of all it quite often supports very synchronized the on-screen action in detail. So it's more than just adding mood or atmosphere to a sequence of subsequent events. I also like the use of musical themes, or even reoccurring typical sounds (such as the vocal exercises of Leanne Miller(?))
The supporting cast is also rather funny, which is important to enhance a musical's re-watch values.
So I need to re-write my review.
I've raised my vote several times, and it's now on a 9/10 - DirectorNigel FinchRobert ChevaraStarsOmar EbrahimPhilip SalmonWinstonRipley the vampire, revived and flourishing after being entombed beneath the streets of London for two centuries, must murder three women at the command of his master, Satan, to ensure his continued existence. A modern updating of a 19th century operetta.A television adaption of the opera "Der Vampyr" by Heinrich Marchner. Not just a registration of a stage performance but really drastically reworked to a very ingenious tv movie. One of the best.
However for those who don't like early romantic opera, it's probably a lost case.
There's a lot of intended gay subtext.
It comments on yuppie decadence, although it flirts with it shamelessly at the same time. - DirectorAlfred HitchcockStarsJames StewartJohn DallFarley GrangerTwo men try to convince themselves they've committed the perfect murder by hosting a dinner party after strangling a former classmate to death.Intended gay subtext (although hidden because of its controversy in those days).
Actually I think it's even slightly too overt to be just subtext. Both "antagonists" are gay without any doubt.
This movie is based on the Leopold and Loop murders. - DirectorKevin HamedaniStarsJanette ArmandDoug FahlCooper HopkinsLife is wonderful for the people in the quiet, island town of Port Gamble....until a zombie virus outbreak.Well, the zombie flick had a huge revival during the last decade. And this trend doesn't seem to have ended already. Most of these movies have very familiar plots, although they usually provide some kind of specific twist on the basic idea.
In Zombies of Mass Destruction the main focus seems to be on criticizing small town prejudice. I don't have a problem with that. Actually, I fully agree with most of the political statements expressed in this movie. The problem however is, that this is all been done in a rather blunt naive way.
This movie has three protagonist. An Iranian girl and a gay male couple. So when a zombie plague is spreading, these three get the blame.
As covered by a tv news report, some terrorists claim responsibility for the outbreak. A neighbor of the Iranian girl is immediately convinced she's collaborating with the enemy.
Later on in different plot-line, the gay couple get imprisoned by some religious fanatics. These so-called true Christians consider the zombie outbreak as the start of Armageddon.
Eventually the Iranian girl as well as one of the gay guys, each in their own subplot, are both strapped to a chair, with the intention to be tortured.
This movie boast a melting pot of different genres. None of these really seemed to work. It wasn't very scary and there wasn't much suspense or action. I think some kind of "witch hunt" on the protagonists in a little village overrun by zombies would have had much more potential as idea. Then the continuous confrontation with and between the small town inhabitants and the zombies, would create a lot of possibilities on all kind of levels. Certainly much more than the chair-tying torture-porn cliché.
Furthermore it wasn't very funny. The satire was way too simplistic.
That's really a weak point. If you want to make some kind of statement about narrow-mindedness you have to be very cunning to make it work. And don't spare the audience. Usually they're far to ignorant to feel addressed.
There are a lot examples how it should/could be done, varying from the comedies of the Boulting Brothers (Heavens Above is a fine example about the hypocrisy in religion) to for instance the mockumentaries of Christopher Guest.
Alas, the movie wasn't very romantic either. There isn't much to say about this. It just wasn't. Even Bite Marks scored a lot better in this aspect.
Technically this movie at first seems more mature than Hellbent or Bitemarks. This actually isn't the case, it's just more mainstream-like build. There's constant some cameramovement, if little. So they used a steady-cam, I guess. Very annoying, when used otherwise than for a POV. The late-night scenes appear quite dark, although it's perfectly possible to see whats happening. This was done by using just a few sharp bright lights, shining - out of frame - from above or behind the characters. It worked - but it wasn't very pretty. After a while it gets very tiresome constantly watching people whose facial expressions are covered in shadow.
But my overall conclusion about the technical aspects of this movie, is that it was rather decent. Very functional, to say the least. But it lacked of aesthetics.
When I've watched a movie and cannot recall anything about the music afterwards, it probably wasn't very interesting. Some imdb reviewers complained about the sound. It didn't annoy me much.
This movie wasn't so bad. The first time I saw it, I did enjoy it.
But the second time was quite a bore. - DirectorMartin WalzStarsUdo SamelPeter LohmeyerIris BerbenThe plot takes place in New York, and in the present. In a Hotel called "Quicky" a professor blackmails a student of his into having sex with him. But when the professor puts on a condom, the carnivorous condom bites off his penis and disappears. Detective Mackaroni who gets the case thinks that the college girl just bit off her teacher's penis! Mackaroni goes to the motel himself to check out the crime scene, in the lobby he finds a gigolo named Bill and he asks him to follow him to crime room, there the two men attempt to have sex when they are suddenly interrupted by the attack of a killer condom.Gay protagonist
Horror comedy. - DirectorRon OliverStarsShawn RobertsSara CanningP.J. PrinslooA reclusive scientific prodigy and three college friends find themselves in the middle of a toxic storm, when an unscrupulous business deal rains terror down on an entire county.An environmental disaster tv-movie involving acid rain.
This specific rain is so dangerously acid, it burns through wooden roofs and even metal within a limit amount of time. Needless to say, it also burns right through clothing, skin and flesh almost instantly. So without protection you're dead in a few minutes. And of course the protagonists in the movie are just backpackers with no kind of protection whatsoever.
Ron Oliver is a rather decent director. Most of his (TV) movies work quite well. This one is a bit uneven, although the premise is rather interesting. And with the premise, I mean just that basic idea of an highly acid rain, while it's almost impossible to find some proper place for shelter. That's a pretty scary idea. And so it was in the movie.
The directing, cinematography and editing are all done cleverly enough. The problem is the slightly preachy story which seemed to be built out of a combination of banality and a lot of illogical circumstantial aspects.
Maybe the budget was a bit of a problem too. When there's an acid rain pouring down, it shouldn't just affect cars and buildings... There shouldn't be a leaf left on a tree in the whole forest.
These kind of inconsistencies are difficult to avoid when you're trying to make a big time disaster flick while there are only "supplies" for a TV movie in stock.
And oh, I almost forgot, there are two gay protagonists.
But... hardly any romance. - DirectorWill GouldStarsBoy GeorgeJames LaytonLee WilliamsOnce upon a time in the village of Kromer lived two beautiful young wolves. Cocksure Gabriel takes newcomer Seth under his paw and helps reconcile him to the vilification associated with being a wolf. They fall head-over-heels in puppy love, playing together around picturesque waterfalls, secluded woodlands, and moonlit lakes. One day a wicked old crone and her goofy sidekick kill their mistress, frame the wolves, and incite a torch-bearing mob of religious zealots to seek vengeance on the hapless pair. But who will live happily ever after?I dislike to start with the most obvious and banal thing to say about a movie such as this one, but here goes: the budget was ultra low.
I read in an external review that the director was just 22 years of age during filming, in which case the movie must have been shot before November 1997. (This is of course very well possible). His only effort as a director to date. Much of the crew and cast weren't very experienced either, with a few exceptions.
As most critics point out, the story is some kind of allegory in which "being a wolf" serves as metaphor to "being gay". Society doesn't understand these outcast and regards them as dangerous. Misguided and led by a very hypocritical church, it condemns and hunts these so-called "wolves".
It isn't very clear what the makers were striving for. The gay-wolf parable is very clear right from the start. Rather simplistic and a bit pretentious.
A lot of reviewers call it a fairy tale. But don't expect something like The Company of Wolves.
The gay wolfmen are sometimes referred to as werewolves. They aren't. Don't expect a horror movie.
There's another plot in which two old "hags" try to murder their employer. It feels a bit 'Agatha Christie' but it doesn't become a detective story. There isn't much suspense. There isn't much mystery.
It's not a thought-provoking drama. It neither is a provocative satire. But... it IS a bit romantic, a tiny bit. And a little bit sad.
So I'm actually saying the same as all the other reviewer did.
Could I recommend this movie?
Should I ...?
Well alright: Watch it!
Choose a rainy Sunday afternoon, while reading a not-so interesting newspaper, or book at the same time. - DirectorChristopher LandonStarsVince VaughnKathryn NewtonCeleste O'ConnorAfter swapping bodies with a deranged serial killer, a high-school senior discovers that she has fewer than 24 hours before the change becomes permanent.
- DirectorJon AbrahamsStarsJordan Ver HoeveAndrew Matthew WelchMakenzie VegaA college freshman becomes obsessed with the previous owner of his school issued laptop.
- DirectorRobert Lee KingStarsLauren AmbroseNicholas BrendonThomas GibsonChicklet is a sixteen-year old tomboy who's desperate to be part of the in-crowd of Malibu beach surfers. She's the typical American girl - except for one little problem: her personality is split into more slices than a pepperoni pizza.This movie combines several genres. First of all it's a spoof of the beach party movies from the 50's and 60's. Secondly it's a spoof of the slasher flicks from later decades. Thirdly a lot of camp is thrown in between. And I mean really a lot. Furthermore it's loaded with good looking guys and there's a nice gay couple coming out of the closet to spice it up.
There's very little horror. And alas, it neither contains much black humor. But there's a lot of satire.
It isn't a very good movie, but it has a very good feel to it. And it is rather original. Don't expect to much and you'll probably be pleasant surprised.
I'm always a bit surprised this movie was already made in 2000. For some reason it seems from much later date to me. - DirectorRobert GastonStarsRoss BeschlerDavid J. BonnerClaire BowermanYoung Beetle Hobbs wants out of his small town and sees his ticket in Grady Wilson. Set in the desolate Smoky Mountains, Grady has recently left the big city to become the proprietor of a resort lodge. When Beetle joins Grady's staff, he gives new meaning to the adage 'keep your friends close and your enemies closer'. A stunning ensemble cast steer this original tale of chilling suspense as different shades of gray ignite a battle between good and evil. FLIGHT OF THE CARDINAL possesses a rare combination of heart and soul with edge-of-your-seat suspense.A rather good thriller. But because of the subject not really enjoyable. I felt continuously dis-comfortable.
- DirectorWilliam AsherStarsJimmy McNicholSusan TyrrellBo SvensonAn orphaned teenager finds himself being dominated by his aunt who's hell-bent on keeping him with her...at all costs.
- DirectorJ.T. SeatonStarsPeter SticklesMichelle TomlinsonLynn LowryAddiction can ruin lives, especially when you're a zombie like George. After he eats one too many people, George's concerned friends decide it's their job to support him on a journey to recovery.Beware: This review contains spoilers!
Lloyd Kaufman has a guest/cameo appearance for literally 15 seconds. Rounded upwards.
This tells us two things.
1) This flick is a real cheapo. Even John Carradine's role in 'Red Zone Cuba' had more substance.
2) Anyone familiar with Troma pictures now knows the type of genre this movie is trying to present.
The combination of both, actually gives a fair description of this movie: a low-budget, amateurish Troma wannabe. It sounds a bit like a pleonasm, since Troma pictures glorifies in low-budget amateurism. (As it does in bad taste.)
Well, that said, it was a rather amusing film. Not at all bad. Especially the first half had some funny sequences.
Although there is a reasonable amount of of gore, it never gets scary.
The technical values are digestible. They could be a lot worse.
The gay guy is of course Peter Stickels.
He has played in several gay movies, as well as in several horror movies.
At the end one of the main characters reveals he is gay. Homosexuality however, never actually is a subject. So don't expect anything romantic. It's just a minor plot-twist without any necessary meaning. Unless perhaps it was used as an excuse for his death. He is killed soon after his "confession". - DirectorPaul DonovanMaura O'ConnellStarsTom NardiniBrenda BazinetDaryl HaneyA gay bar is hit by a group of sociopaths, and all the patrons are killed except for one man who escapes and takes refuge in an apartment occupied by a group of friends, who will do anything they can to protect him and survive the siege.
- DirectorVictor SalvaStarsJason BehrDean StockwellJames RemarAn attorney decides to take a trip with his father to their isolated family cabin to talk things out but their ensuing family argument is suddenly interrupted by two escaped convicts.This thriller serves a lot stuff to keep the mind busy. It's like a long chain of minor plot twists, each with the potential to trigger some frustrating thoughts on some social, ethic or cultural dilemma.
A good tense movie with a very dubious ending. - DirectorKurtis David HarderStarsJeffrey Bowyer-ChapmanAri CohenJune LaporteA same-sex couple move to a small town to enjoy a better quality of life and raise their daughter with strong social values. But when neighbors throw a very strange party, nothing is as it seems in their picturesque neighborhood.
- DirectorJacques LacerteStarsMary Charlotte WilcoxLyle WaggonerChristopher StoneA young socialite struggling to control her necrophiliac urges is torn between her affection for a kind businessman and the mortician who supplies her with bodies.An amazing movie. Very good. Will write a little review as soon as possible. It contains a small part about a necrophiliac who picks up a gay prostitute. It's a very direct into-your-face scene. And the gay guy is a handsome fellow, very open and unashamed, and not portrayed stereotypically.
But as said: it's just a small subplot. - DirectorAdam BrooksJeremy GillespieMatthew KennedyStarsAdam BrooksMatthew KennedyConor SweeneyA murderer, a priest, and a delinquent try to bring down a father-killing madman.Brilliant!! But don't expect much romance.
- DirectorPhilip SavilleStarsEmile CharlesTony ForsythRobert StephensTwo gay teenagers go on the run after witnessing a murder.aka Wonderland
- DirectorRon OliverStarsChad AllenSebastian SpenceJack WetherallA gay detective is hired to find who has been been threatening a notorious member of the gay community noted for outing people.The first movie about Donald Strachey, the gay detective. Not as good as the second one, but still quite effective. Both are tagged "thriller", but foremost they're detective stories. I hesitate a bit about their place in this list. There are just not so many horror movies with gay protagonists. So a rather suspenseful detective can be a substitute.
The story is somewhat over-the-top, with a few too many twists. So it lacked some credibility. The plot has of course an overly potential base. A gay activist, who's continuously outing closeted prominent personalities, hires Straches to find the guy who tried to kill him. To make it even "worse", the activist is widely regarded as a compulsive liar. See, that creates a comfortable amount of possibilities to twist and turn the story as much as you like.
I found the second movie more subtle in its approach. Nevertheless the first one still is entertaining enough. - DirectorRon OliverStarsChad AllenSebastian SpenceMichael WoodsA gay detective tries to solve the murder of a college student.Touching, very clever story, brought convincingly and with charm to the screen. In this case storytelling and it's believability is the main focus. It's cinematographic appearance is that of an episode of a good TV detective series.
- DirectorRon OliverStarsChad AllenSebastian SpenceMargot KidderThe newest installment of gay detective Donald Strachey, who investigates a series of attacks that may be motivated by big-business developers rather than homophobia.
- DirectorRon OliverStarsChad AllenSebastian SpenceDaryl ShuttleworthGay detective Donald Strachey is asked by his partner Tim to investigate a mysterious donation to a youth center. Donald gets caught up in a whirlwind of deceit and danger.The fourth movie about Donald Strachey, the gay detective is probably the best. Much to my surprise because the third one was kind of a let-down. Although Ice Blues isn't as touching as Shock the System (the second one), it stands out by means of suspense and scariness. It's a real nail-biting, sitting-on-the-edge-of-your-seat detective thriller, with a lot more action than the previous episodes.
Maybe it's because the plot deals with a different kind of antagonists. This time the crimes are not related to gay discrimination. It's about a gang of "professional" criminals chasing a huge amount of cash. They're not too faint-hearted to torture or kill. And that's quite an understatement.
Actually I like it very much the plot is not again concerning some gay liberation matter. As long as there's a nice deal of romance between Strachey and Tim, it's all the better. - DirectorAlain GuiraudieStarsPierre DeladonchampsChristophe PaouPatrick d'AssumçaoSummertime. A cruising spot for men, tucked away on the shores of a lake. Franck falls in love with Michel, an attractive, potent and lethally dangerous man. Franck knows this but wants to live out his passion anyway.

- DirectorDan LantzDavid SmithStarsRonnie KroellJesse ArcherKristen-Alexzander GriffithWhen three gay men on a cross-country road trip enter a redneck bar, the culture clash has deadly results.Entertainingly enough. A bit heavy on the gay related themes. And a bit too moralistic as well.
It should've been tagged horror. Some torture scenes are pretty strong.
One or two nude scenes are rather overt. A bit too much for some people I assume.
7.5/10 - DirectorMarcelo Briem StammStarsPatricio RamosMario VerónCarlos EchevarríaA sexy, romantic and uncomfortably chilling story from first time director Marcelo Briem Stamm. Handsome middle class Manuel (Patrico Ramos), hurt by his previous relationship and bored being alone, meets Julio (Mario Veron), a rugged, lonely, unemployed young man in a chat room. The two eventually meet up in person and the sexual spark is quickly ignited. And while sex is satisfying and frequent, it is their collective problems with intimacy, trust and the fear of being hurt that make them hesitant to commit fully. As their relationship develops, both reveal secrets from their past but these revelations might be real, imagined or outright lies. Who is being truthful, who is real, and who truly loves the other? All is revealed in this romantic, passionate drama/thriller that offers a shocking, strangely satisfying conclusion. (Spanish with English subtitles)

- DirectorSidney LumetStarsMichael CaineChristopher ReeveDyan CannonA struggling playwright invites a young writer to his home to discuss a script, but the meeting spirals into a deadly game of deception and betrayal.This review contains spoilers!
If I would have to make a list of my favorite movies of any genre randomly, 12 Angry Men would probably be on top. Sidney Lumet is a director whom I admire greatly. Unfortunately Deathtrap has some undeniable flaws and a few serious mistakes.
The first one is Dyan Cannon. I was really stupefied about her outrageous abominable performance. While I thought this couldn't have been surpassed unnoticed, I tried to find some information about this on the imdb. To my astonishment all I found were favorable reviews... How on earth is this possible? Really?! In cases like these I seriously begin to doubt my sanity. But thank god ... I read on the Wikipedia Cannon was nominated for a Golden Raspberry Award for "Worst Supporting Actress". She should have won, but in fact the award went to a 11 year old kid (still 10 during filming). Some competition, I must say. In Deathtrap Cannon seemed to lack the ability to convince in toto. She didn't manage to deliver any of her lines phonetically in a natural way, nor did the phrasing, the intonation or the amount of expression seem to be appropriate to the dramatic situation. Her body language was amateurish to the bone. When I read that some reviewers thought she was cute, I was just puzzled. I haven't the faintest idea when she ever might have been cute for one single moment. I'm really without a clue. Some other reviewer thought she was funny and they liked her screams. I think a performance like this could have been funny in a Christopher Guest mockumentary about some amateur actors trying to make a Mel Brooks rip-off. And funny screams? I remember when I was still in kindergarten some kids thought exaggerating screaming and yelling at any given moment was funny. Well it wasn't. It was equally annoying. The only excuse for a performance like this, is that Lumet wanted some elements of amateur theater in his movie, since it was based on a play. But in that case the movie is quite uneven. Sometimes the camerawork is very dignified, especially during the scenes of violence. There are some outdoor scenes. And I don't think Caine or Reeve deliberately overacted. If they did, they should've spiced it up, a bit more. Nope, none of these things seems to suggest that Lumet wanted his movie to look like a stage play right from the start. There are far more clever ways to manage this, than just by two extremely bad performances.
The other one of course is the Helga Ten Dorp character, brought to the screen by Irene Worth. That said, she could perhaps pass as an parody of a preposterously bad stage performer. I quite agree with those who thought she was completely annoying. While watching her I continuously felt the urge to change DVDs and watch The Blithe Spirit instead, just because of the tremendous magnificent role of Margaret Rutherford as the eccentric medium madame Arcati. It would be such a relief.
I was very impressed by the performance of Reeve. His character changed with ease and in a very believable way, along with every plot twist. At first a reasonable, easy-going-type student, which later on developed to a much more sturdy, self-convinced and eventually rather sinister guy. In those scenes where he had to express some serious violent anger, he was very scary and convincing. He also seemed very relaxed during the gay kiss moment. This all added to the strangeness of the plot twists.
Caine was good enough, more or less what we're used to, although he seemed somewhat uncomfortable continuously. He was less convincing than Reeve. Perhaps Reeve was very eager to get rid of his alleged type-casting destination. He sure gave it all.
Unlike most other reviewers I didn't find the script very good. Neither the dialogue nor the interaction did have much in common with reality. Some things depended far too much on coincidences. What if the wife didn't have her heart-attack at the appropriate moment? Was this really the most effective way they could think off to kill her? Did these two guys really love each other?It didn't seem a big deal to both of them trying to kill the other one. Why does a real psychic almost falls over a human body? Nope, this wasn't a very clever script. - DirectorJoseph L. MankiewiczStarsElizabeth TaylorKatharine HepburnMontgomery CliftA surgeon is assigned the case of a young woman whose aunt wants her lobotomized to cover up a family secret.
- DirectorVictor SalvaStarsEric RobertsLance HenriksenBrion JamesTwo men, both hiding a deadly secret, are on a murderous rampage through the desert.Loaded with gay subtext!
Victor Salva is a good director. His movies are creepy and scary in an old fashioned way - I mean that very positively - and with a lot of suspense. I'm pretty sure he knows his classics quite well. Sometimes his movies even remind me of those of Alfred Hitchcock. Not as a whole of course, but for instance in the way some scenes are built. Most of his pictures are unjustified underrated, probably because of his past (And let's hope it stays the past).
Not only is he one of the few contemporary directors who provides some hope to the future of horror film, he also provides a little hope a few of them might have gay protagonists someday. - DirectorRoman PolanskiStarsJack MacGowranRoman PolanskiAlfie BassA noted professor and his dim-witted apprentice fall prey to their inquiring vampires, while on the trail of the ominous damsel in distress.Gay supporting role

Then an old man who visited Herr Lipp and his wife in 1975 recounts the saga of Lipp's fascination with cute young choirboy Matthew and his belief that Lipp was a vampire. Finally Chinnery comes to unburden himself as to why he is such a bad vet.

Gay Protagonist
Sometimes it's a bit difficult to decide whether a movie fits a list or not. This list started as one about "gay horror movies", but slowly more and more other genre-types are dripping in.
I've been hesitating about adding:
Anders als Du und Ich (aka Bewildered Youth)
Advice & Consent
Oscar Wilde (1960)
The Trials of Oscar Wilde (also 1960)
The Servant
But I haven't decided yet. - DirectorChris ButlerSam FellStarsKodi Smit-McPheeAnna KendrickChristopher Mintz-PlasseA misunderstood boy takes on ghosts, zombies and grown-ups to save his town from a centuries-old curse.
- DirectorBob DahlinStarsDonald GrantDenise DuBarryClaude AkinsPaul Dooley, Paul Walker, John Carradine and Henry Gibson head up an all-star cast in this horror-comedy about a murderous but misunderstood monster!Gay Monster. Have seen it - don't remember much of it. The only thing which comes to mind is a small scene with John Carradine.
- DirectorWes CravenStarsChristina RicciJesse EisenbergPortia de RossiA werewolf loose in Los Angeles changes the lives of three young adults who, after being mauled by the beast, learn they must kill it in order to avoid becoming werewolves themselves.Gay supporting role. This movie isn't at all bad. But make sure to watch the unrated/uncut version.
- DirectorDouglas HickoxStarsBeryl ReidHarry AndrewsPeter McEnerySloane, a manipulative lodger, joins Kath's household. Kemp recognizes Sloane as a murderer. Sloane kills Kemp. The story takes an unexpected turn regarding Sloane's fate, deviating from conventional justice.Not much of a horror movie. There's a lot of black comedy.
Rather amusing.
- DirectorTobe HooperStarsDan ByrdDenise CrosbyStephanie PattonA family moves to a small town in California where they plan on starting a new life while running a long-abandoned funeral home. The locals fear the place, which is suspected to be on haunted ground.Gay Supporting role.
- DirectorDavid DeCoteauStarsRon SilverChristopher PlummerDee WallaceA Pulitzer prize journalist has a heart attack and moves with his wife and son, from NYC to a town of 850 in Maine. Things are fine there until he investigates a man arrested for murdering his boyfriend. Vandalism and worse follows.Well, this is rather surprising. A movie by David DeCoteau that's not a total disaster?! While watching, my brain really made some overtime grasping this fact. The movie continuously seemed to linger on some weird unreliable border, threatening to collapse any unsuspected moment into one of his usual failures. But that didn't happen. Sometimes there are some very questionable things going on on screen, but each time the movie manages to get back on track. How could this be?!
Perhaps, for some reason, DeCoteau might've paid some more effort than usual. Maybe because the plot involved something he truly thought strong off. Or maybe he was impressed by the "big shot" actors... And let's not forget, a director isn't the only one responsible for the final result.
The most impressionable aspect of this movie is its actors: James Coburn, Christopher Plummer and Ron Silver.
Coburn and Plummer are Oscar awarded actors. Not for the roles they played in this movie, but they are still fairly impressive.
According to the film's imdb trivia page, director Ken Russell started the direction. I don't think much of the movie is his work. While it sincerely is mind-bending that it didn't end up being total crap, a lot of moments in this movie are easily recognizable as DeCoteau's work. Actually, over years, most of the crew members have clearly proven that they DO possess some talent - to a certain degree at least. Except for one: David DeCoteau! And although this TV movie might be his best work, a masterpiece it ain't.
Unlike in his later work, this movie shows barely any gay (semi-)erotic visuals. The story is about a reporter, who is recovering from a heart-attack. So he and his family move to a nice village in the country to find some piece and quiet. There's actually already some nice tension upon their arrival in town. Everything is just a bit too perfect to be believable. The movie reminded me of "The Stepford Wives" and even "The Wicker Man". There's something really creepy about townsfolk playing together in some nasty evil scheme. Especially when their motives are disturbingly "common". In this case they are "just" fanatic christians. Quite unnerving since this type of orthodox religious people really does exist.
The reporter unwillingly picks up a story about a homosexual man, who's suspected about killing his partner. There's of course no mystery who really killed him, but that doesn't ruin the suspense.
The movie has some surprising action, some serious horror and is rather fast paced.
But alas... there actually isn't anything gay romantic.
- DirectorJohn LoganStarsKevin BaconTheo GermaineAnna ChlumskyA group of teenagers at an LGBTQ+ conversion camp endures unsettling psychological techniques while being stalked by a mysterious masked killer.
- DirectorTom ShanklandStarsStellan SkarsgårdMelissa GeorgeAshley WaltersA calculating killer coerces a detective to pay for his previous mistakes.I thought this movie was awful. Just another entrée in the torture porn sub-genre. Depressing, annoying, boring.
However since it's from the same director as the brilliant "No Night is Too Long" (see above), I really must give it a retry. - DirectorJames GennStarsAlex HouseMaggie CastleBill TurnbullA bullied gay student at Crowley High uses the book to make every other guy at school gay, including Todd and Curtis, while making himself straight. Atticus attempts to glimpse Todd's penis to try and find the mark of the Pure Evil One.A rather entertaining Canadian horror/comedy series that will mainly appeal to teenagers and adolescents, I assume. Sometimes it's very funny, but it's never really scary. It gives the impression that the makers very much tried to be political incorrect, while at the same time they didn't want to offend anyone. So it's provocative without being provocative. That goes for the horror department too. It seems like it wants to be gory, while it actually never succeeds, because it's all just too fake or toned down.
Nevertheless it has a very relaxed feeling to it.
Most of the cast is perfect. Todd, Curtis and Atticus are all very funny characters.
There are actually two episodes that deal with homosexuality. This one and Terrible Twin Turf Tussle in which Jenny - one of the main characters - starts a lesbian relation.
The best episode to me is 2 Girls, 1 Tongue. This one is almost completely sung - some kind of camp metal-musical. Quite original, i must say. - DirectorChris DianiStarsNick GarrisonLowell DeoEvan MosherIn 1967, a chemical plant near a discreet roadside restroom causes an outbreak of gay zombies. At a near by beach cottage a group of best friends must fight off the undead.Campy spoof of several types of movies. Zombie films. Science Fiction from the 1950's. But also: The Boys in the Band.
It's in black and white, but that doesn't fool anyone. It's clearly made recently, and rather amateuristic.
However I enjoyed it more than I probably should have. - DirectorSteve BaldersonStarsMatt RiddlehooverAmy KellyPeter SticklesA narcissistic man sexually fascinated with his own body finds himself heading down a path of disturbed behavior.This movie centers on some rather remarkable subject matter. It focuses on the perceptions and experiences of a guy with a so-called 'narcissistic personality disorder'. It's definitely not very realistic. More like a satiric representation. Perhaps there's some social commentary on individualism or something. If this is the case it wasn't very clear to me.
I thought it was mildly amusing. I wasn't impressed by it's alleged weirdness. It's certainly not as outrageous wacky as Eraserhead or Terror Firmer (to name a few).
Sometimes the movie seems to "derange" a bit out of style. For instance, there's a scene in a restaurant where the main character waits - more or less in real time - for his order to arrive. It was a bit funny - although it was done before (The Chinese Restaurant episode of Seinfeld, the "behold a real minute" scene in Vargtimmen.) But here it seemed out of place.
However it all was a bit unusual and I was entertained while watching. - DirectorAdam GreenJoe LynchBear McCrearyStarsAdam RifkinSarah MutchRay WiseIt's the closing night at the last drive-in theatre in America, and manager, Cecil Kaufman's planned to show 4 movies; films so rare, they've never been exhibited publicly on American soil, until tonight.

The young man quickly realizes that he can hold this place, with all its perks, only as long as he is young. He has no other function than being young. With the help of an aged judge, the young man, referred to only as The Lover, contrives a plan to make a change in the way of the world, a plan that will take him years to realize. To succeed, he must manipulate, in subtle and not-so-subtle ways, the senator, his wife, the family chauffeur (who was, when young, a lover), and, by implication, the entire well-planned and controlling everlasting secret family.I don't know if this really can be regarded to as a thriller. I haven't seen it yet. But there are just two reviews on it at the moment:
One begins with: "A truly disturbing film"
The second one with: "Great gay film with an evil twist!"

Smitty watches in horror as gangs of inmates brutalize prisoners who lack protection. Those who complain risk beatings or murder at the hands of unsympathetic guards: all cries are bootless. Mona offers poetry - Shakespeare's sonnet XXIX; Queenie and Rocky offer Smitty advice, and Rocky offers protection for a price.
