Gore and glitter fill the streets of Providence, RI as young gay men from a local drag club are stalked and lured on dating app POUNDR. The victims are promised sex only to be gruesomely slaughtered by a deranged maniac.

 

When bodies begin turning up completely drained of blood, sleazy club owner, tony two fingers, and crooked detectives, barry and O'Hara, team up to get to the bottom of these murders to save his business.  

 

The investigation sets its sights on a recent club rehire, Dwayne. While local drag queens, Gloria hole and Janet fitness, battle for the stage and limelight.

REVIEW: THE REVIEWING RODDERS (2020) “AT IT’S IT’S HEART, THIS IS A GLEEFULLY FUN SLASHER THAT’S SET TO A KILLER SOUNDTRACK. A FEATURE WHERE BARBED INSULTS ARE THROWN AT ONE ANOTHER, AND JUST AS SHARP AS THE MURDEROUS WEAPONS

REVIEW: LAW & ORDER (2020)

 

REVIEW: THE DIG BOSTON (2020)“THIS SCRAPPY HORROR FILM OFFERS THOUGHTFUL CRITIQUE ALONGSIDE ITS LOW BUDGET GORE, REFLECTING ON THE RACISM AND AGEISM WITHIN THE GAY COMMUNITY. HARDLY JUST MORALIZING, THOUGH, DEATH DROP GORGEOUS HAS ITS CAKE AND EATS IT TOO: THE OVERACTED DRAMATICS, GHOULISH KILLS, AND RIDICULOUS PLOT TWISTS ARE ALL IN THE SPIRIT OF FUN, AND CELEBRATE THE PROVIDENCE GAY SCENE THROUGH A FUNHOUSE HORROR LENS.”

 

REVIEW: BEARWORLD MAGAZINE, “DEATH DROP GORGEOUS” (2020) “A LOVE LETTER TO SLASHER MOVIES OF THE 80S”

​

REVIEW: INSTINCT MAGAZINE “REVIEW: DEATH DROP GORGEOUS | HORROR’S A DRAG” (2020)“THE DEATHS IN DEATH DROP ARE ABSOLUTELY REVOLTING – AND THERE’S A TON OF THEM. THE QUALITY OF THE GORE IS NOT ONE FOR THE EASILY OFFENDED OR SQUEAMISH. IT’S RAW, MESSY, AND A LOT MORE FUN THAN A ONE-NIGHT STAND.”

​

REVIEW: HORROR SOCIETY “DEATH DROP GORGEOUS” (2020)“DEATH DROP GORGEOUS IS THE PERFECT COMBINATION OF 80’S SLASHERS – LIKE MANIAC AND THE PROWLER – AND THE OVER-THE-TOP NATURE OF QUEER DRAMAS. THIS IS A MOVIE THAT WAS TRULY BIRTHED, PRODUCED AND EXECUTED WITH ITS TARGET AUDIENCE IN MIND. DRUGS, DRAG QUEENS, STRIPPERS, BLOOD SPLATTERS, TORTURE AND SUSPENSE, WHAT ELSE COULD YOU WANT FROM A STORY THAT DELIVERS EXACTLY WHAT IT PROMISES?”

​

REVIEW: BOYS, BEARS & SCARES (2020)“DEATH DROP GORGEOUS HAS HINTS OF 80S SLASHERS (A MASKED KILLER AND CGI-FREE GORE), GIALLO ELEMENTS (DETECTIVES ON THE CASE AND SCENES DRENCHED IN PINK/PURPLE LIGHTING), AND A 90S CLUB SCENE VIBE (BITCHY DRAG QUEENS PERFORMING THUMPING HOUSE TRACKS). IT’S LIKE RECENT GAY HORROR FLICKS KILLER UNICORN AND KNIFE + HEART WERE PLACED IN A MEAT GRINDER WITH RUPAUL’S DRAG RACE.”

PRESS: HORROR SOCIETY (2019)“I’M GLAD THAT QUEER FILM-MAKERS ARE STARTING TO RISE THROUGH RANKS AND PRODUCE CONTENT SPECIFICALLY AIMED AT THEIR INTENDED AUDIENCE. WE’VE SEEN THE SAME STORYLINES OVER AND OVER AGAIN, AND NOW I’D LIKE TO SEE THEM COVERED IN LATEX, GLITTER AND FAKE EYELASHES.”
