One hundred year old vampire must find his soul mate in order to keep himself and his clique alive forever. However, his soul mate unexpectedly turns out be a guy- a young, naive, innocent college freshmen.
The notion of doing a serious minded gay horror romance, was certainly a nice idea. However, the execution is lacking. The horror elements don't have enough menace or terror to them. Not enough care was token to properly make these scenes as effective as they could have been. Scenes of the vampires stalking human prey are rushed and don't amount to much. The suspense that these scenes could have generated is never palpable. Scenes in which the vampire brood is having conflict with one another,...

Jason Lockhart, Christian Ferrer and Dylan Vox star in Vampire Boys. Described by cast mates as a gay twist on the Twilight saga. Vampire Boys is a story about love, acceptance and coming out with of course vampires and some horror twists thrown in for good measure.
In Vampire Boys, Jasin (Jason Lockhart) and his vampire brood's time is running out. In order for them to survive, Jasin needs to find a mortal to turn into a vampire to spend eternity with. Los Angeles provides plenty of young candidates. The brood has their eyes set on Tara, a young, gorgeous blond college student. Tara is open to the idea of becoming a vampire, but someone else enters the picture to disrupt the brood's plans. Caleb (Christian Ferrer), a fresh face college student new to Los Angeles, keeps dreaming of a mysterious stranger. At school, Caleb meets the stranger, Jasin, and theirs is an instant connection.

"Gay movies all suck!"
As a critic who regularly reviews movies of gay interest, I hear this a lot. And while it's undoubtedly true that there are gay movies that do suck, I'm not sure they suck at any higher rates than other genres. Do micro-budgeted gay indie movies tend to suck more? Not any more than all micro-budgeted indie movies, I'd argue. Most of us just don't watch that many micro-budgeted movies.
And even if some gay movies do suck, there are indisputably plenty of others that don't. In fact, when I sat down to make this annual list, I was surprised by how quickly I came up with a number of truly outstanding films. And what do you know? They all veered between "micro-budget" and "low-budget," with a smattering of "high-enough-budget-to-at-least-pay-a-caterer" (and there's also one studio movie).
All in all, it wasn't a bad year for gay film...

Rating: 2/5
Writer: David Kittredge
Director: David Kittredge
Cast: Matthew Montgomery, Pete Scherer, Jared Grey, Walter Delmar
Studio: Triple Fire Productions
Writer and director David Kittredge’s feature film debut, Pornography: A Thriller may strike audiences with its bold title, but the film works more off of attempting to flummox its audience than titillating them with taunt flesh or genuine thrills. It’s most certainly an ambitious project, one that seems to draw comparisons to David Lynch left and right, but the film tackles so many different styles and stories that it’s hard for it to hold up over time.

With a provocative title like Pornography, the new film by writer/director David Kittredge won’t have any trouble getting attention for itself.
That’s probably a good thing for the filmmakers, because the word-of-mouth is going to be bad.
The movie is pretty clearly a “gay” riff on David Lynch’s deliberately obtuse Mulholland Drive, which I happened to love. Both movies shift storylines midway through, and the same actors play different characters.
There’s more to reality than just what we see with our eyes, both movies say.
Since Pornography depends on the surprise of these shifting storylines – and, apparently, differing realities – I don’t want to give anything away.
But suffice to say that the movie involves an ex-adult movie star in the past who disappears under mysterious circumstances, a man in the present writing a book on the history of gay adult movies,...
