John S @MarignyJohn 6h It was soooo bad and I love gay cinema. See more Kaden B @RT04808030 Jun 1 A tear ran down my thigh after watching this film of our time. As Edgar Allan Poe once stated, "protect queer art, but [are they] giving us anything worth protecting?" My favorite casting choice would be the single woman in this movie which had a chance to provide plot relevance but instead only had peeping on bath scenes, and also providing quality ambiguous accents. Additionally, my favorite part would be the sheer effort every actor provided to avoid touching but a single pubic hair on any hotdog, breaking barriers for the gay soft-core poetry genre. Genius. This movie will stick with me for the rest of my life, leaving me with a question I will always ponder: what brand of underwear are they wearing so I can get some too. Additionally, the ambiguity of the time period that is being attempted to be shown kept me on edge, going between millenial jeans with sandals to candle lit houses to shots included neighboring suburban homes. Truly incredible. See more 11/01/2020 Soft-corn gay porn trash thriller - without much porn, and utterly without thrills, Cute cast often stripped of shirts, but that's as far as it goes. Lots of faux-passionate kissing, and a plot that makes the sex scenes look like High Literature. Truly a waste of 90 minutes. See more 11/12/2017 As disgusting as the cover. An absolute insult to Poe. See more 08/16/2010 @Jenn Warren hated it too! See more 05/31/2010 Pretty shitty. It was basically softcore gay porn with a Poe theme. Kinda liked it as a background movie though but Madeline Usher was not well cast at all. See more Read all reviews
