This is your typical indie coming-of-age tale about a teenager, though it’s clearly working with a very tiny budget. Set within a migrant family living in Southern California’s Coachella Valley, the movie digs into how fragile old-school traditions and expectations can be. We follow a teenage son as he goes through the process of coming out and struggles to find acceptance while dealing with homophobia, domestic abuse, and a messy love triangle that involves his own sister. Goyo is seventeen and just about to graduate from high school. Since he’s been a bit more feminine since he was a little kid, he’s always had to deal with emotional and physical transition from his dad, Ramon, who is obsessed with him being "a man." The only real love he gets is from a lady next door who actually respects him for who he is. The family lives in a Mexican community where everyone works on a grape farm, but things get shaken up when a new guy named Lucio arrives. Lucio basically seduces Goyo ...
The film is in three parts and goes quite a bot in flashbacks. Gareth is a porn film director and has been making it films with lead bottom start Timothy. But he is in short of cash. When an investor Cody comes to make his own film with Timothy with 200,000 dollars, things start going wrong. Timothy refuses and immediately leaves panning to start his own business. Soon Gareth realizes that the money goes missing and is now on lookout for Timothy. Now we meet Grant, Gareth's twin brother, who is taking care of a hurt Timothy in remote woods. But Gareth and his crew, with support from his assistant Veronica, find Timothy and make Cody rape him as punishment for stealing the money. When Grant finds this, he tries to kill Tomothy because he doesn't want him to suffer further. He then tell Timothy , that it was he who stole the money so that Timothy can have a comfortable life with his boyfriend Jessie. We then get to see the love story of Jessie and Timothy. Every character crosses the other actor. Timothy dies in a car accident. In the final chapter, Jessie visits the grave of Timothy. Jessie wakes later that night to discover Grant and Timothy having a shower together and are now zombies, who have returned to help Jessie fulfill his promise of revenge. And they ultimately take the revenge.
The big problem with this film is that it cant make up mind on what genre does it want to stick to. It is marked by some very stark tonal shifts from thriller to comedy to horror to something approaching softcore porn. And the constant back and forth in the way story is told, doesn't help the cause of the film much. The film quickly gets to the point where its shenanigans get so crazy that I just kept rolling my eyes watching all this absurdity. The script and screenplay both need a lot of tightening. If the film was kept as comedy, it would have been a better deal IMO. Even the way the actors were acting, it felt as if they were told to be in that way. Acting was just bad. Jessie was the only one decent in the film. And I still don't understand what was the whole point of this zombie angle. That was just plain stupid.
Borderline ludicrous film, you can enjoy this film , if you are really bored and if you keep really really low expectations in general from movies. (3/10)
