‘SPIRAL’: A GAY COUPLE MOV TO A SMALL TOWN IN KURTIS DAVID HARR’S CREEPY HORROR FILM [REVIEW]
A Pevian high urt has orred same-sex unns to be legally registered public rerds, markg a victory for the LGBTQ muny a untry that has been reluctant to regnize gay upl. * spiral gay couple movie *
It’s that juxtaposn between the overt homophobia and the microaggrsns that Spiral thriv s goal of creatg real social horror. 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.
“kill gays” nonsense, but when Malik reveals what he’s found, Aaron. 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. I also uldn't help but wonr whether this might be homophobic propaganda. 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. 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. Malik beg gay is bothered by him and he no longer wants to wre .
