Why, Oh Why? Why do writers / directors feel obliged to kill off gay characters for no reason in the last 10 minutes of a film? In this case, it did not advance the story, it did not create any kind of interesting plot twist, it did not do anything except make sure that the audience knew that the main character was punished for being gay. Nothing foreshadowed this ending in the film, it was just bad, bad writing.
Note to directors: Killing off the gay character in the last ten minutes of the film is no longer a surprise ending; it is now officially a tired, overused and offensive cliché which any competent director or writer will avoid.
In this case, it is even more unfortunate: he is the protagonist. I was left shaking my head in sadness and disgust. It is really too bad. Otherwise this was great stylish indie movie, with a solid little cast, and great use of locations, good pacing and music, and fun use of lots of horror themes and tropes. It was also competently shot and recorded. If you want to watch a decent indie horror movie, watch it until our hero runs into the gym to save his sister. Then turn it off, and make up your own ending. Otherwise you are going to watch a train wreck.
Don't watch the last 10 minutes unless you are the kind of sick puppy who gets their rocks off seeing gay people killed for no reason.
