Beastly Boyz

A well-molded blonde youth likes to workout shirtless in the woods. He also enjoys caressing his chest and stomach.

He’s on a mission: to revenge himself on the young men who killed his sister. Oddly enough they too like to spend time almost naked exercising in a forest.

Oh dear, it is one of David DeCoteau’s homoerotic horror movies.

DeCoteau started in the 80s as the director of movies like Sorority Babes in the Slimeball Bowl-O-Rama and Assault of the Killer Bimbos. Those films are mainly remembered for featuring cult horror actresses Linnea Quigley and Michelle Bauer (you’ve never heard of them but some of us remember them fondly).

Several years ago he discovered that there is a market for horror movies with covert gay male eroticism. Fancy wording for cute guys standing around in their briefs and rubbing themselves. I’m baffled these are modestly successful. I guess it is a way for closeted gay guys to get eye candy in the house without being outed (to varying degrees the movies also feature women and even witless plots). DeCoteau - who is gay and knows that he’s making exploitation movies - once compared his shirtless boy films to 1970s blackploitation cinema.

Why is the captor also wearing a gag?

I mention Beastly Boyz here because even though I found myself barely able to pay attention to it there’s a chance it will appeal to people with a certain fetish. If the idea of rubbing the point of a knife along a young man’s body - or being the young man - this might be for you. There are two very long stretch of faux knife play: one boy is asleep, the other bound.

Eventually the blonde hunk kills everybody. Then he vanishes. The End.

I’m glad I installed a Greasemonkey script that lets me rate movies with half stars.
