Title: HellBent Release: 2004 Format(s): DVD ( buy ) "When The Night Belongs To The Devil, The Party Goes To Hell. " Plot Summary: Two gay men on a date are murdered the night before Halloween in West Hollywood, California. Eddie and his friends Joey, Chaz and Tobey are going out the following night to the West Hollywood Halloween festival when they encounter the psycho, who sets his eye on them. The killer stalks them through the festival as Chaz parties, Joey chases his jock crush, Tobey tries dressing in drag, and Eddie pursues Jake, the bad boy he wants to get to know better. Not until the very end do you find out who dies and who survives their night of terror. Grade: A+ Review: The producers wouldn't send us a preview copy of the movie, ensuring us that it was of fine quality and would pack the seats. Well they were right. I'm a huge slasher buff and prefer the old school 70s/early 80s style slice and dice flicks to the lame self-referential ones today. Maybe it was the graininess of the 35mm print the studio sent, but I felt like I was watching a film made during that era. The film wasn't at all camp, (something one naturally would expect from a gay horror movie) in fact, it was pretty darn intense. And the creators of the film were damn smart to write sympathetic characters we could relate to. This movie shouldn't be classified as a "gay" movie, anyone who enjoys slasher flicks with likable characters to cheer on will enjoy it. I look forward to the inevitable sequel HellBent... er?
