I HAVE SENT THE AMPHIBIA FANDOM INTO A GAY SPIRAL AND I REGRET NOTHG
rekwilliams: hughmichelsen: New Derek Williams story Anyone else as big of a fan of @rekwilliams as I am? He posted another story, and do not disappot. Hey, you’re straight, right? - Gay Spiral Stori Thanks Hugh! I’m a huge fan of yours. * the gay spiral *
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. 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. Jefey Bowyer-Chapman is very good as Malik, a black gay guy who soon feels out of place their new home. 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. She don't realize until brgg over a flower that they are gay uple, but she is que acceptg.
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. 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. One, to wre the homophobic slur on the wall, two, steal their personal belonggs (photo) and then a third time when he ught someone red hand si their hoe.
‘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 * the gay spiral *
The potential meangfulns s symbolism regardg homophobia and racism is jt pletely overshadowed by how poorly wrten this was. I love that we are at the pot now where a homosexual uple n be the lead characters a film and no one even thks twice about . It's nice to see bigger budgeted gay-themed movi like this, but 's simultaneoly, 's sad that this is credibly unorigal and predictable.
This film highly engag creatg spense and mystery around the seemgly satanic nnabilism practic that targeted homosexual upl, only bee they were the only unnventnal and ial targets available this small muny. He found about the gay uple ten years ago that lived the very town and one was murred and the other seemed to m suici. The ma actor was great and I felt vted his story and his journey wh beg a young gay man and the thgs he has had to battle through life.
“You really have to have a space where you n ngregate your people, whether be a bar or jt to have that general reachg out to people, ” said said gay bars, like Spiral, bee safe havens for people the LGBTQ muny, pecially younger people.

“Growg up as LGBTQ, gay bars were really the only place that he had that we were safe to ngregate together, ” said Kg. Gisman said was important to keep a gay club to fill the void Spiral left durg the panmic. Marcy’s queer inty remas a mystery, yet I n’t help but feel spired by how much the journal has fans treatg her as some sort of gay in.
While the town wel the uple wh open arms, Malik n’t help but notice that the people he meets jt aren’t actg right, and ankly, seem a ltle too terted how the whole gay thg works.
