(Reviewed by Preppy) -Another homoerotic horror film from
David DeCoteau. The lead singer of a boy band is killed by his
band members because he wants to reveal their "secret". They cover
up the killing and audition for a new lead singer. Their ultimate pick is
Shawn Walker (Coltin Scott)...but he doesn't want it and finds out their
secret...
OK--this isn't a good movie. Like other DeCoteau movies it has a bad script.
The opening number clued me in that I was in trouble--the song sucks and
there's some hysterically bad "dancing". Also these guys make
other boy bands (like N'Sync and the Backstreet Boys)look like they have
talent! Also the auditions are painful to watch--Scott gives the WORST
one--but they pick him! The acting is (with one exception) dreadful. When
Adrienne Barbeau gives the best performance you KNOW something is wrong!
Ryan Starr (as Walkers girlfriend) is easily the worst offender. The film
(even at 80 min) has endless padding full of bad songs, shots of the ocean
and pointless dream sequences.
Still I'm giving this a 7/10. Why? Cause I'm a gay guy and this film is full
of strong homoerotic images--the guys are good-looking and have nice bodies.
DeCoteau is a gay man and he makes these films to appeal to a gay
audience--nothing wrong with that! He also does throw in a few untalented,
big-breasted women to assure us that these guys are straight--but it's
always clear who this film was made for. The best looking guys are Jeff
Peterson (who plays Jonah and actually gives a good performance) and
Scott--and Scott definitely has the best body--the sequence with him running
around in black shorts shows this! So this is a pretty bad film but most gay
guys will be pleasantly entertained by the images. |
