Deadly Screams Of A Naked Siren

By Golu
Here we go! Another one of those bad gay themed films and then stupid me to sit through the torture and actually living through the BS thats served to us an audience. Having said that, to give credit where it's due, the subject and theme of the film is something new and novel but a bad execution, acting and direction cannot salvage story thats looks decent on paper.

Christian is a college news reporter, very gay, who is all set out to interview Epiphany, the niece of the only living person to escape a gender-changing Siren, eleven years earlier. In this context, Siren i someone who changes their appearance and seduces people and kills them (I think!). During the interview, Epiphany tells Christian the story of her uncle, who was a devout religious man and eleven years ago, he is called in by a man Danny to narrate his story about the Siren. Danny recounts how he was seduced by a man in middle of nowhere. When he doesn't respond in a couple of days, his boyfriend Kevin goes out in search of him and is also seduced by the same man, the Siren. Then random cuts happen, hallucinations happen and I believe both Danny and Kevin are killed (and maybe turned into Sirens? It was never very clear). Post this interview, Epiphany's uncle is approached by a sexy woman (the latest Siren), but since he is a devout religious man, he escapes her and Epiphany is telling the story to Christian but could Epiphany himself be a Siren?

First of all, since the film is a bot non-linearly told, it is difficult to follow what's going on. An interview within an interview makes it confusing and constant changing faces of the same person doesn't help. There is a lot of gay sex and nudity that are clearly there to titillate the audience. There is absolutely no need for those extended scenes. And then there are random mentions like Epiphany's uncle is caucasian and his brother is Vietnamese. Why does it matter of David slept with Kevin and both his sisters. What good does that do to the story? I am not very sure. Was there a motive behind showing Epiphany as transgender? The random sexual tension between Christian and his room mate. I mean, why do we need all these random distractions in an already otherwise confused film.

This is a very mediocre film which is not much good for anything to be honest, except for some good sex scenes and plenty penis shots. Do not waste your time. This movie could have been an excuse ten years ago but definitely not when it is made in 2019. (2/10)

The Shortest Distance is Round 3: Fallen Flowers

By Golu
Continuing with the weird trilogy of "The Shortest Distance", I am so glad that finally I am done with part 3 and won't have to deal with this again in future. Thankfully, as of now the makers have not announced any further parts; which will save all of us on this earth from the embarrassment of watching this in near future. After the first 10 minutes are used in sort of recapping bits of first two parts, the story moves forward. Haruto is now starting to have feelings for Ruka, the mysterious pole dancer from second part. In a fit of rage, Ruka ends up killing the goat man and to save him and Haruto, Shibahara asks them to go underground. Meanwhile Shibahara continues the search for Seiya (the guy who had cut off Haruto's penis). It turns out Seiya is now also taking care of the original club owner from part 1. Both of them were released after they had informed Shibahara of Aoyama's secret location. Shibahara tortures Seiya's boyfriend leading to Seiya killin...

Sei no Gekiyaku (Japanese) [Dangerous Drugs of Sex]

By Golu
Every person has their own unique way of dealing with loss. This film is as much a psychological thriller as it is a soft porn BDSM portrayal of two young men that makes the film overall horrifying as well as humane. It is really hard to describe the genre of this film in one word. Its important not that the film has some really disturbing scenes so if you go into seeing this film, please proceed with caution. Although any sexual non-consensual activity is not ok, this film has its won strange way of showing that suicide is not the only solution to all life's problems. Makoto is a regular office goer, who just finds out that his girlfriend is probably cheating on him. ON top of it, his parents sudden death coming back from a trip that he forced them to take, he gets completely dejected and decides to commit suicide. Unknown to him, he is saved by mysterious man Yoda Ryoji, and he wakes up finding himself tied up in leather and belts in a very BDSM setting. This mysterious saver soo...

One Summer Night (Korean)

By Golu
I really wanted to like this film but for non native speakers, these movie leaves a lot to be understood and the way scenes were unfolding in front of me, I wasn't sure many times what was really going on. The story had potential button getting any back story on any of the characters limited my ability to empathize with any of these actors. Film starts with two North Korea military guys Yong Joon and Jae Sung having sex and they are caught red handed and they run. Three years later we see Yong Joon in Seoul leading a very mundane and poor life. He has a boyfriend Tae-Kyu, who is a weird guy. He is carefree, doesn't do any work and is completely emotional and financially dependent on Young Joon. In fact, even Yong Joon will go to any lengths to protect him , fend for him and taking care of him to the extent of even taking up prostitution. Suddenly one day Jae Sung appears in their life again. His motivation is not clear but it is obvious he wants Yong Joon back in his life, who ...
