Cassidy (Tyler Hanes) is a college senior who’s trying to come to grips with his attraction to men and attempts to hire a hustler (Carlos Alberto Valencia). During a series of murders of blond, young women on campus, Cassidy starts to have visions of his freshman sister covered in blood and that seem to indicate she’ll be a victim and that his best friend (Robert Dionne) is somehow involved. In the Blood.

Bill (Derek Long) is a surgeon who gets struck by lightning in Socket (2007). He falls for Murphy (Matthew Montgomerty of Gone but Not Forgotten), a young intern who’s been caring for him. Turns out Murphy had also been struck by lightning and brings Bill in to a group of lightning strike survivors who like to plug in and turn on. Taking things to the next level, Bill invents a better way to get his electric fix and things spiral out of control.

The Lair is the vampire version of Dante’s Cove. The Lair gives us a coven of gay vampires chomping on all the cute, young guys in town. A young journalist (David Moretti) tries to find out why all the unsolved murders are happening, including an attack on his boyfriend who’s ended up in the hospital. Throw in a couple of gay porn idols (Colton Ford as the sherrif, Michael von Steel as a victim).

Mike Dolan of When Darkness Falls is back in another Jeff London low budget film. It’s actually on the same DVD as a second movie. It follows Dolan who’s taking care of his invalid lover (Ron Petronicolos, a zombie from the previous movie) who is driving him crazy with his demands for attention. Of course murder and returning dead result. A bit better than When Darkness Falls, but it doesn’t make up for anything.

Kevin (Mike Dolan) invites Danny (Matt Austin), his new boyfriend, to his parents’ cabin in the woods. The first clue that this might not be all I’d hoped is endless shots of a truck driving and driving and driving up old country roads. I guess this was to let us know that they’re way out in the country, but it seems like they got paid by the minute and needed to pad the DVD. Boyfriend turns out to be the nervous type (it’s his first “guy date” and he’s still not over the “Dahmer thing”) and Kevin can’t resist teasing him, especially about the graveyard next door.

Then there’s the local legend about a killer. And you should never say his name five times. . . .

We end up with a bunch of young gay guys who take turns trying to scare each other. The kind of people who deserve to be killed and eaten. If you’re absolutely desperate for gay zombies, check it out, otherwise it’s very disappointing. And no where near enough eye candy to save it.

Clive Barker’s Lord of Illusions (1995) follows a case of detective Harry D’Amour (Scott Bakula). D’Amour, who has previously been involved with the supernatural, heads from New York to LA to track a man suspected of insurance fraud. Along the way he stumbles into an occult battle that started 13 years before. He’s hired by the wife of Swann, the world’s most famous magician, to protect him from from the cult that surrounded the evil magician he helped defeat.

The movie is not bad, plenty of blood, plenty of guys running around scantily clad. Lots of scenes with Scott Bakula without a shirt. What more could you want?

A couple more caps.
