Have you ever felt that Pink Flamingos would be even better if Divine had mugged her way through a musical number or five? Was 2020 drag slasher comedy Death Drop Gorgeous a little too slick and genteel for your appetite? Then leave it to director Heidi Moore and the maniacs at Troma to turn your crank with Kill Dolly Kill – a drag rock musical with as much good taste and refinement as production value and discernable lyrics.
Ostensibly a sequel to Moore’s Dolly Deadly (2016), Kill Dolly Kill is built around drag performer Donna Slash as the eponymous lethal poppet – the grown up drag queen alter ego of the original film’s pre-teen killer, Benji. Dolly is eager to take the title of Serial Killer of the Year as voted on by the citizens of Tromaville, but when her nemesis Slasharella (Amy Vodkahaus) gets her arrested, sent to an asylum and...

It’s funny that the first point of reference that comes to mind when watching folk horror film Saint Drogo, the second film from the team behind drag-world slasher Death Drop Gorgeous, isn’t The Wicker Man or even Midsommar, but last year’s Bros. No, it’s not because they’re both movies about gay men. It’s because both are either partially (in the case of Bros) or mostly (in the case of Saint Drogo) set in the gay summer vacation destination of Provincetown, feature genuinely erotic group sex scenes, and include messaging that’s somehow simultaneously over-explained, preachy, and a bit muddled But while Bros seeks to make its audience laugh, Saint Drogo aims to make us shriek, cringe, and maybe just consider our place on this planet that...

Saint Drogo is the sophomore effort from Monster Makeup Productions, a filmmaking collective headed by co-director/co-writer/actor Michael J. Ahern, co-director/cinematographer/editor Ryan Miller, and co-director/co-writer/actor Brandon Perras-Sanchez. Having found an audience with 2020’s Death Drop Gorgeous between the festival circuit, distribution via Dark Star Pictures, and streaming on Shudder and Tubi, it would have been easy for the creators to cater to the same niche.
But, as boldly proclaimed by Saint Drogo‘s opening moments — in which a mysterious figure shrouded in a white robe looks on as a man spills his intestines onto the sand with a rusty blade — the Monster Makeup team were not interested in repeating themselves. Rather, they pushed themselves to refine their craft and explore new territory while remaining true to their roots: unapologetically queer, raw, do-it-yourself horror.
The film follows partners Caleb (Perras-Sanchez) and Adrian (Ahern) to the coastal town of Provincetown,...

Not Your Grindr’s Voyeurism We spent the better part of 2.5 months exploring an “underseen or underrated?” theme, including Gaspar Noé’s Climax and Kurtis David Harder‘s Spiral before wrapping up with Michael J. Ahern, Brandon Perras and Christopher Dalpe‘s independent film Death Drop Gorgeous last week. Now that we’re free of the 2010s, Trace and I are jumping back to 1960 […]
