Nine Dead Gay Guys - the title says it all. You can tell from the title that the film is going to be irreverent and humorous. It is. I literally smiled through the entire 85-or-so minutes of this outrageously ballsy offering from first-time director Ky Mo Lab. Raymond Griffiths pretty much steals the show as "the desperate dwarf" (for some reason he kept reminding me of Val Kilmer), although everyone involved definitely pulls their weight. Looking forward to the next one to emerge from the Lab.
It seems to be one long gay joke, it really does. Over the top queens, guys at a toilet checking each other out, and no scene is complete with out some sort of homosexual reference.
Of course, what do you expect when the film is called Nine Dead Gay Guys...?
The film's not funny. It has rare moments which can raise a smile but ultimately each joke is as cringeworthy as the last. The film's barely got a story - each scene seems like it's been added in to add another joke, another bizarre character or just as filler. It copies it's style almost so blatantly from the likes of Lock, Stock.... but fails to capture what made such films great - character.
Byron has character, so does Kenny. After that? Stereotype after one-joke-pony after stereotype. It doesn't work, I couldn't care less about who these people are. So I become disinterested, the worst thing a film could possibly do.

Just saw this on DVD and now have to buy it. I absolutely loved it, the characters were believable. A lot of the action identifiable and overall it was a great time. Distinctly off the wall, but right on track, great casting and a fabulous assortment of characters. There are a lot of unknowns in the film, but I'm glad to see that several have new projects. This film really showed off their uniqueness and more or less picked on everyone. This film gives a new meaning to being "politically incorrect", and takes it's jabs at everyone. There are so many silly stereotypes and generalizations that it has the potential to either offend the world or have the world laughing and rolling on the floors.
A must see!!!!!!!!!!!!

This film is about two Irish guys in London, who embarks on a quest to find a supposed stash of money hidden in a gay man's huge bed somewhere in Golders Green.
"9 Dead Gay Guys" is a nicely made comedy. It probably had a low budget but it did not appear crappy. The story is well paced and engaging. The title of the film gives away what would happen in the film, but that did not stop viewers from wanting to know what happened. The story is fun, light hearted and very funny. It makes you laugh by using plenty of stereotypes, and yet it does not come across as offensive. I enjoyed watching "9 Dead Gay Guys".

Nine Dead Gay Guys is a hilarious movie, make no mistake, but it is definitely not for everyone. It's crude, shameless, direct, and hard to ignore once you've seen it. I've sat through the movie with different types of crowds. Some thought it was laugh-out-loud funny, some thought it was gross, some even tried to look away for portions of it. They all agreed on one thing, though. It's a bit of a shocker! Not in a way that makes you jump out of your seat, but in a way that makes you think "whoa, I wasn't ready for that one!". Enjoying the film depends on what your attitude is while seeing it. If you choose to be "up-tight" and unopen, then the movie will come across to you as lewd and inappropriate. If you go into it knowing you're going to see something off-the-wall, different, funny, and alternative, you're more likely to have a good time. If you see the movie once and thought it was a little too much but thought it was funny, I encourage you to watch it again because be then the initial shock will be over and you can take the film for what it is. For it's boldness, uniqueness, and humor, I give the film 7 out of 10.
