The Gay Bed and Breakfast of Terror

If this movie was simply titled "Bed and Breakfast of Horror" I am sure much less people would have watched this...and for a reason...it's pretty bad.

The pace is slow, acting is poor (more like community theater), and the editing is very bad. Scenes carry, shots are boring and there are few cuts that are meaningful. Also they tried a bit too hard to establish that everyone is gay...we read the title, we already know that...

That said, I have seen much worse out there. Might be worth watching if you want to see some gay cinema, but nothing else is redeeming...even the "horror".

...in the original sense of the word, meaning light-hearted and carefree, given to giggles and chuckles, as these tired old "gay" gags are not liable to induce laughter in most.

In reading a lot of the other comments (and message board quips) it looks like those people who enjoyed this saw it at a midnight screening. I think there's something to be said about the energy of that. I've had a blast watching a movie that, in the light of day (or on the home screen) is unbearable. I wouldn't call this movie "unbearable" but it sure is filled with missed opportunities. I think, contrary to what one poster says, this movie does take itself too seriously. The whole scenario is absurd, which is fine, but the actors play it "straight" (for lack of a better word) too much, with the exception of the villains and the drag queen (but only when she's in drag). There really is nothing redeeming about any of the B&B residents; they're all bitchy, unfaithful, wimpy--kind of like all relationships at one time or another but all at once. The acting is horrible and it's like the editing department was staffed by the actors--every scene lingers on way too long, letting the viewer watch the actors stare uncomfortably (or cluelessly) at each other (or at nothing)--so they could squeeze out a little bit more screen time. My advice if you must watch this: Be under the influence of something, and make a game out of it. Whenever a character rolls their eyes or calls someone a bitch, have another hit.

I'm a horror fan and a member of the LGBTQAI+!? (hope it's all inclusive) so a gay horror movie must be great right? Well, the thing is horror and LGBTQ movies have a few things in common. There's a few great ones, a few good, some OK, but the majority is low budget crap. This was a silly script packed with clichés embodied by mediocre actors in a visually horrible way. On the plus side: I watched the whole movie. The inside gay jokes, an interesting character or 2, the fantastic opening act, .... left me hoping for more. The idea of a gay horror movie isn't that bad. More original than all the drama you normally get.

I'll keep watching these horrors and LGBT movies in hope for some hidden gems. This unfortunately wasn't it.

What can you expect from anything being titled "The Gay Bed and Breakfast of Terror"? Nothing great obviously but who can resist such a cheesy title. And while this movie is most definitely not great, it isn't painfully bad to watch either. Its quite amusing actually.

As far as these, simplistic, generic, shoe-string budget, modern, horror movies go, this really isn't a bad one. To be honest, it's on of the best ones I have seen in a long while. It simply did a good job with its very limited resources and was actually quite professionally looking, at least when compared to similar genre movies.

This movie might sound like a very offensive one toward homosexual people but in truth this movie never downgrade itself to any gay-bashing or trying to make fun of homosexuals. Yes, the movie is mostly still a comedy but really not an offensive one. I actually think that some of the people involved with this movie in front and behind the camera's were homosexual themselves. The movie just gave me a that sort of vibe. The only people who might be offended by this are Republicans because they get portrayed as the biggest monster in this movie. It might also be definitely true that this movie its story and concept is just far too silly for anyone to get offended by, in all truth.

The story is just about as simple as it can get. Yes, it's about a gay bed and breakfast...of terror. When a bunch of homosexual couples arrive at a bed and breakfast, somewhere in the middle of the desert, soon some of them start to get brutally slaughtered. It really is all you should need to know. When the motivations get explained the movie actually gets more silly and even worse, till the movie reach its ending, when it's simply just starting to loose it even more, for the worse.

It's a shame that the movie is only that much fun to watch. It's definitely true they could had turned everything up a notch, in order to make this a far more fun and entertaining movie to watch. For a comedy it's simply lacking in its comedy at times. Things could and should had been crazier and more campy, for my taste.

And as an horror...well you can't really take this movie serious as an horror, now can you. In essence the movie is being slasher and yes, the movie does feature blood and gore but you can't really say that the movie ever becomes a scary one. Because of its concept its still being an original one but also nothing more than that.

But seriously, this movie is not half as bad as it perhaps sounds. Give it a shot and you might end up liking it, if only just a little.
