"Death to Sugar Boys!" —Review on Gay Slasher "Obsessive" Gay police officer Eddie, along with his gay friends Joey, Toby and Chaz, goes to West Hollywood for a music festival, where a grand party dedicated to All Saints Day is held. They are followed by an elusive killer maniac with a sickle, who has his own views on people of gay orientation. Gays and transvestites will remember this night for a long time.
This is a gay horror co-production of MJR Films and Sneak Preview Entertainment from director and screenwriter Paul Etheridge. One of the main producers is Josh Silver, a musician who previously participated in the recordings of the doom metal band Type O Negative as a keyboardist. This film is far from a blanket with gay themes at the head, but a competently filmed atmospheric horror film with excessively bloody murder scenes and quite tolerable dialogues. A villain dressed in a mask of a devil with horns on his head and a sharp sickle in his hands (I wonder why no one has yet bothered to make a horror film about a Ripper, unceremoniously dealing with communists with a sickle and hammer) will be extremely cruel to cut off the heads and pierce the bodies of homosexuals. Blood is shed intensively and in large quantities. All roles are mostly played by gays, but there are also professional actors. Dylan Fergus looks great in the role of Eddie, even if he is in life “blue”, but with the role coped perfectly. In the episode, the famous homomusician Kent James (stage name Nick Name) lit up. The action will take place at night, the chase scenes are shot well for this kind of movie, there is a tolerant bed scene of Eddie and his new acquaintance. The ending of the film, taking place in the apartment of the main character will be somewhat creepy, although the identity and motives of the killer will not be something super unexpected and extraordinary.
I advise you to familiarize yourself with this specific low-budget work, in no way sliding into thrash, do not be misled by the orientation of most characters, this is a pretty strong picture, of course, not without flaws, where all the attributes of a slasher are available.

P.S. My impression is that the word boyfriend is more applicable to homosexuals than to heterosexual couples.
