I have never seen DeCoteau&...<i>it is bad-film-phobic</i><br /><br />I have never seen DeCoteau's "gay horror" movies, but I more or less assumed that as a straight guy, they weren't geared towards me anyway (as opposed to the work of artists like James Whale, Clive Barker, et al.). The irony is, based on your review of this one, it sounds as if he is falling prey to depicting lesbianism as something sinister anyway.Derek Tatumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09751292322235530499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23449634.post-74637537438255258182009-07-05T05:46:25.545-07:002009-07-05T05:46:25.545-07:00Hiyah Gabriel - I've been Watching You is drea...Hiyah Gabriel - I've been Watching You is dreadfully poor - I'll rewatch it sometime and review.<br /><br />Dislike of DeCoteau's films is not homophobic - it is bad-film-phobic, at least as far as the three I've seen goes.Taliesin_ttlghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10105263634442191232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23449634.post-58124300908615029102009-07-05T05:28:29.873-07:002009-07-05T05:28:29.873-07:00Hello Andy,
Thanks for warning us away from this ...Hello Andy,<br /><br />Thanks for warning us away from this 'film' (read: dross). I have been eyeing it off at my local video store for quite a while, got bad vibes off of it, and I have seen 'The Brotherhood' aka 'I've been watching you' and I can tell you now it's just as bad. <br /><br />Now I am not homophobic, I read most of the Anne Rice novels with glee and Lestat's homoerotic adventures did not bother me, but this film did. Somehow it's corny-ness actually made the homoerotic parts very uncomfortable for me, and I think it's just an excuse for the director to get male actors half his age half-naked with their six packs exposed so he can spank the monkey.<br /><br />Now even though that movie does have vampire elements from memory it was more of a body-jumping exercise, the blood was for more of a blood-bond to make the jump easier. It was either that or human sacrifice to suck the youth, to be honest I lost interest.<br /><br />Needless to say I avoided the Brotherhood sequels: Young Warlocks, Young Demons etc.<br /><br />NB: You'd be surprised to know that David DeCoteau actually used to work with Full Moon Pictures and Charles Band. He did a few Puppet Master films and The Witchouse.Gabrielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17172423699175288220noreply@blogger.com
