Vapors (1965)
*** (out of 4)
Strange but entertaining film takes place in a New York City bath house for homosexuals. One man shows up for the first time not really knowing what to do when he comes across another man who offers up some friendship.
VAPORS is from director Andy Milligan and it was the first film he ever made. The cult director is best remembered for his horror movies and the fact that the majority of them were awful but this early film really shows a different, more serious side. Milligan was a homosexual so I'm sure the material here was a lot closer to his heart than some of the monster movies that he would go onto make. I found the performances here to be rather raw and realistic and I also found the dialogue to be quite good and, again, realistic. This here will mainly appeal to Milligan fans but it's certainly a good little picture.
