{netflix} hellbent (2005)

A serial killer stalks the streets of West Hollywood on a wild and wooly Halloween night in this gay horror tale. Featuring actual footage of West Hollywood's flamboyant Halloween Carnival, the film centers on five gay men who are chased by a crazed killer through an obstacle course of outrageously costumed party-goers, dirty dancers and sexy shenanigans. Dylan Fergus, Bryan Kirkwood, Hank Harris, (the very hot) Andrew Levitas and Matt Phillips star.

My rating: ** It was a cute combination of gay indie and horror/slasher films, both known for often being campy. Could have done without the club scenes (as that's not my scene) and without the Halloween Carnival scenes (as that's not my scene either), but then there wouldn't have been a story so yeah, I guess I just have to suffer through them. I only gave it 2 stars because often these scenes just felt like filler in a movie that was already only like 1 hour and 20 minutes. I'd love to see a gay slasher set in a small college town. Maybe a fraternity of hot guys. It's just a thought. :)
