'PASSAG' DIRECTOR NOUNC 'DANGERO' NC-17 RATG ON A FILM PICTG A GAY LOVE STORY
* brotherhood film gay *
ROME — Danish director Nilo Donato mak a memorable feature film but wh “Brotherhood, ” a film whose solid actg and sensive directn keep om beg filed away as a gay neo-Nazi romance, which events unfold exactly as one would expect. The appeal of this love story between vlently racist skheads go beyond gay dienc and should attract a a younger mographic, makg a very plsible choice for arthoe pick-ups. He troduc him to their uber-fuhrer Ebbe (Cls Flygare), whose Hler rants are as chillg as the gang’s gay- and Mlim-bashg.
”) While there is a strange llective nsens that the films are hot garbage, they were synonymo wh homoerotic horror. And that rponse on social media om queer dienc suggts that an alternative gay readg has bee the domant historil disurse around each film.
There are no gay characters eher film so there’s no liberate cue that the are “gay” films. Regardg the queerns though, I’m actually a ltle surprised that The Covenant has been viewed as so homoerotic. I may not have thought The Covenant was very homoerotic, but The Brotherhood, however, is gaaaaaaaaay.
KEN HAS ALWAYS BEEN BARBIE’S GAY BT FRIEND—NOT HER BOYIEND
What I love about The Brotherhood is that the homoeroticism is so your face for the entirety of the film. My ex and I went through a perd where we tracked down and voured every gay horror film we uld. A quick search onle, however, reveals that this film always appears on posts (I/II) talogug the most homoerotic horror films; blame the swim team square cut speedos, the locker room scene, the sweaty shirtls late night phone lls and the fal “blobs of whe liquid” tfight between Caleb and Chase.
” The foc on hidg their Ipwich powers, the ascendancy of their powers when they bee adults and ristg taboo temptatns enuraged by other boys is all super gay unr the surface. A quick b of rearch also revealed that this film still has a very healthy female-wrten slash M/M muny, crossg over – unsurprisgly – wh olr WB/CW teen seri and, ironilly, Marvel films like The Avengers (Blame Sebastian Stan’s recent rise fame as Bucky, sikick and homoerotic love tert of Capta Ameri). The wrer/director has had a fascatg reer trajectory: he got his start workg unr Roger Corman, created an inic gay text wh 1997’s Leather Jacket Love Story, then began churng out the low budget soft-re horror porns unr his Rapid Heart productn banner throughout the late neti through mid-ghts.
KEV SPACEY DEFENDS COMG OUT AS GAY AFTER BEG ACCED OF SEXUAL MISNDUCT: ‘I WAS UNR A LOT OF PRSURE’
When my ex and I were dog our gay horror ep dive, we stumbled upon The Brotherhood seri at Blockbter (RIP) bee of s Scream-like box art featurg generic pretty boys and quickly fell love wh s sheer ridiculons.
SCHOOL BOARD TERMAT TEACHER OVER DOLLY PARTON, MILEY CYS 'RABOWLAND' SONG, FOLKS STILL GAY
I realize that I didn’t really answer your qutn about tentnal homoeroticism, so I’ll punt back to you, Trace. Consirg the accsibily of horror the age of VOD and On Demand, is there a reason more enterprisg filmmakers aren’t tryg to palize on DeCote’s vancy terg to horror movi for girls AKA homos? Or have gay male characters moved out of the realm of subtext and to text proper wh legimate reprentatn?
Even when a horror film is geared somewhat towards gay men, the primary foc is still on the straight man (look at the fabulo bchery on display Sorory Row, which I fd supremely entertag but still centers on a bunch of sexy, sntily clad female llege stunts).
