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 sheriff, Michael von Steel as a victim).
In East Side Story, Diego (René Alvaradois) is a closeted, young, Latino man working in his grandmother’s restaurant. He longs to get out on his own, but can’t seem to quite get himself to move on. As he realizes his boyfriend (David Berón) is determined to stay in the closet and his grandmother is not quite as clueless as she seems, he’s given the final push when his crazy aunt outs him to the restaurant staff. Meanwhile, a couple of gay men move in across the street and one of them (Steve Callahan) starts to fall for Diego but has problems leaving his lover (Cory Schneider) even though he’s miserable in the relationship.
Eleven Men Out is the story of Ottar Thor (Björn Hlynur Haraldsson). A football (soccer) champ in Iceland. He suddenly decides to come out during a press interview, causing havoc with his team, his father (who’s also the coach), his ex-wife, and his son. But at least it gets him moved from the back pages of the magazine to the cover.
Thrown off his professional team, he joins and amatuer one (which already has a couple of “kind of” gay members). Soon the team is attracting more gay players and becomes Iceland’s gay team.
Not as funny as the marketing blurbs led me to believe, but maybe it’s better in the orignial Icelandic.
Adam (Tom Harper), a public school teacher, picks up a stranger named Jake (Sean Brosnan) in a gay bar in London. He goes back to Jake’s place where they have sex. After leaving, Adam finds that he’s picked up Jake’s cell phone by mistake. Going to return it, he finds Jake has apparently been murdered. From there, Adam finds himself pursued by shadowy figures who may be from the British government and who are trying to cover up a royal scandal. Interesting in a way, and the use of surveillance camera type footage for the film was kinda cool, but it just never seemed to quite get off the ground. Surveillance 24/7.
