This starts off promisingly as a sweet love story between two inexperienced young men, then disintegrates into a horror story with a confusing and tragic end.
The last fifteen minutes are particularly terrible. I am baffled as to why the two leads who are shown as reserved and cautious throughout the film, would suddenly engage in a sex act while their straight mates are roaming next door! Then one of the allegedly straight, butch guys ends up raping then bludgeoning Nathan (the lead character) to death. Now why would a butch, straight guy engage in a sex act with another man? It suspends disbelief.
I've been renting a lot of independent LGBT films like this for a while now but I'm quickly becoming sick of the poorly written stories that almost always end tragically with the lead character dead. I will drastically scale back watching LGBT movies all together unless they have a comic angle. It's the only way I will be guaranteed a gay oriented film with a happy ending for once.
