This is the second vertical AI BL drama I've sat through, and honestly I went in knowing better. I had it on while I was doing cardio at the gym, and what struck me was just how much the plot echoed the last one I watched. Same step brother romance angle, same mystery girlfriend showing up near the end, same extra guy pining after one of the leads. Genuinely the only thing going for it was the runtime, the whole thing wrapped up in forty five minutes flat. The setup kicks off with Finn moving schools because his mom just married into money. He finds out his new step brother Aiden goes to the same place, and he's warned to keep his distance from him. Their first run in at school is rocky, just like you'd expect, but there's this odd pull between them neither can shake off. Finn keeps telling himself not to read into it because Aiden's straight and openly homophobic. Things shift when some kids start bullying Finn and the student council president, Ryan, steps in to ...
The plot is about as basic as it gets. A group of Black gay couples all get invited to a resort for a weekend trip where everything is paid for, but they all think the invite came from someone different. Since a few of these guys have some messy history with each other, the tension is pretty high as soon as they arrive. Nobody actually knows who is picking up the tab or who started the whole thing—A thinks B invited them, B thinks it was C, and it just keeps going like that. Pretty soon, a slasher starts picking them off one by one. The killer’s identity eventually comes out, and the murders just keep happening until the very end when only two of the guys manage to get away.
The first thing that hits you is how completely broken the audio is. I’m not sure if they just recorded everything live on set without checking it, but the sound is so distorted that it’s actually hard to hear what the actors are saying. The way the murders are handled is just as bad; the "kills" look so childish and fake that it feels more like you're watching a middle school play than a horror movie. None of the characters even try to fight back against the slasher; they just sort of run around in circles like they’re waiting for their turn to die. There are also two sex scenes thrown in that feel like they only exist to check a box. The acting is super amateur and just plain bad across the board. This is exactly the kind of movie you should put on when you’re hanging out with friends and just want to roast something together. It’s a perfect example of how unintentionally funny a movie can be when everything goes wrong.
It’s an absolute disaster of a slasher film that fails at every technical level, from the sound to the acting. (0/10)
