‘SPIRAL’ IS UNAPOLOGETILLY GAY HORROR | MOVIE REVIEW

Spiral follows a gay uple that mov to the suburbs wh their dghter the 90s to fd their neighborhood is more than meets the eye. However, his dread isn’t jt bee of a few homophobic micro-aggrsns, somethg more is afoot.
It’s that juxtaposn between the overt homophobia and the microaggrsns that Spiral thriv s goal of creatg real social horror. The trailer for Jefey Bower-Chapman's upg horror movie Spiral has everythg: jump sr, creepy cults, homophobic graffi, gaslightg partners, and even sacrificial Unreal actor and Canada's Drag Race judge stars the film as Malik. Whether the neighbors or homophob, racists, or good old-fashned nnibals or somethg, this film already has on edge.
This occult thriller follows same-sex uple Malik (Jefey Bowyer-Chapman) and Aaron (Ari Cohen) who face homophobic threats when they move to a small US town to raise their teenage dghter. The ia of a gay character-led horror film appealed to me hugely as a gay man and avid horror fan. Sadly, I'm chuckg this movie onto the pile of the hundreds of unr-veloped gay themed films that simply don't have the qualy and/or budget to create a story of honty, origaly and signifince.
‘SPIRAL’: A GAY COUPLE MOV TO A SMALL TOWN IN KURTIS DAVID HARR’S CREEPY HORROR FILM [REVIEW]
Jefey Bowyer-Chapman is very good as Malik, a black gay guy who soon feels out of place their new home. I also uldn't help but wonr whether this might be homophobic propaganda. We start this movie off wh a gay uple the back of a r makg out.
Here we have a gay uple of Malik (Jefey Bowyer-Chapman) and Aaron (Ari Cohen). She don't realize until brgg over a flower that they are gay uple, but she is que acceptg.
SPIRAL - NEW GAY HORROR MOVIE ON SHUDR
Malik beg gay is bothered by him and he no longer wants to wre .
This really cut him ep, but I also thk that helped make him more vol for not only his rights, but also that of gay rights as well. A mixed-race gay uple (and the one guy's dghter om a prev relatnship) make the move as an alternative fay un to a small town where thgs are, and always have been, button down and tradnal. It's shot well, has nvcg performanc om the leads, and - wh the help of a good sound engeer - effortlsly builds up the creep pl pots rema throughout the movie; however, the send act of the film drags and the third act seems to fall asleep at the wheel and veer dramatilly om paranormal horror to Rosemary's Baby-que paranoia, back aga, then to some ham-fisted social mentary on both mental illns, racism, and homophobia before fally crashg headlong to the lovechild of Heredary and a rult the endg feels unsatisfactory as a lot of the reveals feel tacked-on and limp.
By the time end I felt like the wrers tried to ver up a weak script by distractg the dience wh some horror clich and - if that didn't work - some clunky "msage" that "racism is bad" and/or "homophobia is bad" and/or "mental illns is a shame" is sad bee if the film had had the urage of 's nvictns a b more I thk uld have livered way more effectively on what set up the first third. It terjects some social mentg about issu a gay uple may face movg to a new town juxtaposed agast his fears that the rints are not what they first appear... Im makg a movie about gay men" type thg for Col Mihan, followg his film "What Keeps You Alive" which was about a lbian uple and was WAY better.
