Review

This is certainly one of the most over-the-top homo horror movies we've seen. Unlike David DeCoteau's movies this film is of super low-budget, deliberately cheez-whiz quality. Dead Guys has a home-grown feel that you will either love or hate. While the film looks like it was shot in B&W, it's actually deliberately faded color - to make it have a special feel. There is also plenty of nudity and some fairly arousing sexual situations. The music is all by gay artists and makes great background for this super-twisted, totally queer flick.

Strangled, stabbed and naked, bodies are turning up all over the gay neighborhood. Slake (Silvers), a hunky, shaved-head and controlling film producer convinces his adorable lover Caleb (Masters) to join him in his twisted plans to meet, seduce, and strangle innocent guys who cross their path. They pick up guys, start to have sex with them and then get off by strangling the not-so-innocent boys. These crazy guys work their way through erotic dancers, college students, a pizza boy, and a corporate lawyer and then they meet Cody (Asbill) a young cutie who works in the local gay coffee shop.

It's not long before Cody has sacrificed his own boyfriend and joined in the murderous game himself. Using his innocent eyes and southern charm he quickly worms his way into Slake and Caleb's nest of evil. And of course, there's a cop -- Jared Stone (Angelo) a handsome young detective prepared to do whatever it takes to stop the murders. His mock pursuit of Cody at the coffee shop leads him right to the heart of the madness - the lover/killers apartment.
