The inside scoop on what all happens to a 32 year old guy in Omaha, Nebraska. You won't find all the latest gossip or reviews. Instead, you just get me and my world.



Hellbent

Hellbent

Watched this movie last night. And here's my thoughts on it. First off, it's a Gay-Horror-Slash movie. So, some camp factor is expected. I see that the co-creators also helped on the movies Halloween and A Nightmare on Elm Street. Overall, that's not too shabby, both of those franchises made millions.
Movie starts and it's wonderful. Two boys ready to go at it in a nice old car. My first thought is "Eye Candy". And that thought was exactly right.
I want to just summarize a bit, so I don't give away any details, but it appears the drive behind this show was sex appeal and more sex appeal. Being a gay movie, we all know the drill, actors are hired more commonly for their looks than actual skill. 2nd, there seems to be a very simplified storyline and only one or two paths the movie attempts to follow. I haven't figured out why this tends to be the issue, but Hellbent was cookie cutter gay and sprinkled with horror. I'll explain.
The actors, magically delicious and yes, the type of boys you'd find in your best of dreams were ok actors. Usually their underacting or overacting dominated the scenes.

Dylan Fergus - (Eddie) is the main character. Wants to be a cop but isn't, sensitive, etc. Does an ok job, more so towards the end.

Bryan Kirkwood - (Jake) the motorcycle guy, hard to get, stranger also does o.k. Not sure why, but seemed nervous the whole movie.

Hank Harris - (Joey) is Eddie's younger brother. Cute, innocent yet horny fellow wanting to bed some jock he's got a crush on. That's about it.

Andrew Levitas- (Chaz) the sexual one. He'll bed anything that has plumbing, he doesn't care if it's outdoor or indoor plumbing! Fun character, actually does a good job in the movie, mostly because he just has to act like a horny frat guy. :)

Matt Phillips - (Toby) Wears a dress and wig nearly the whole movie. Too bad, once you get to see him shirtless...uhm....I'm afraid I can't say anymore without embarassing myself.

The movie tends to bounce off any sort of major plot or character development opportunity. We get a few little snippits of what's going on, why a character is acting a certain way, but that's about it. We see very little history in this, so it acts more like a very outside view on a group of horny studs on Halloween. If that sounds good to you, then I would say, watch the movie. Either way, you won't be absolutely upset. You get to see some great looking boys, their chests and butts. No frontal nudity (what a shame).
My final thought. Wait a bit closer to Halloween, gather up your good friends, and once you've had a couple drinks, turn out the lights and gather around to watch the show. A few drinks and some friends will make the show fun.

It's not really "scary". It has some gore and the cheesy blood squirting scenes and some tense moment. It's not one to scare the socks off ya, but c'mon, it's a gay horror movie who's plot isn't the fear getting wrinkles and going bald. ;) Curious what other people think.
