What the hell is he doing with the heads? However, he does take a bit of liberty regarding the actual geography of the city, surrounding it by a deep, dark woods (--albeit an appropriately creepy one.) Fellow die hard slasher fans such as myself should find some enjoyment out of this regardless of their sexuality.

- Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times, "Pulsating with a kind of heightened fear tinged fascination

Slasher movie aimed at a gay audience but as a straight guy I had no problem with it.

A group of four gay friends will have to fight for their lives to make it through a night where flamboyant costumes, beautiful people, drugs, music, dancing and sex are everywhere. However, open-minded viewers will be rewarded with one of the most entertaining and ferociously original slashers to come along in quite some time. In Hellbent, a serial killer in West Hollywood develops a taste for gay men and sets his focus on a group of gay men attending a Halloween festival. So, if the thought of this sort of thing bothers you, then you should probably skip over Hellbent when it opens in theaters on September 16th.

Take away the gay, and HellBent is still a funky-fab standalone in the Slasher 101 genre. Taking place at the famed West Hollywood Halloween Carnival, there is a serial killer on the loose. Furthermore, he’s cast likeable and relatable actors to portray the young men — while each is dressed in corny Village People garb, the characters beneath the cartoony exteriors are worthy of caring about… at least until it looks like they’re going to satisfy our bloodlust.

(And in case you’re wondering, the theatrical poster showing a blade-tip a hairsbreadth from a widened eyeball isn’t just a tease.).

It’s a shame, because Crusing is actually a very dark, disturbing, and brilliantly acted film, with a stunning finale that leaves the viewer with more questions than answers. Life is weird sometimes!

Absolutely.

In 1980, Al Pacino and William Friedkin teamed up for that decade’s most controversial film; the crime drama, Cruising, in which Pacino portrayed Steve Burns, a rookie cop recruited to go under cover into the New York “rough trade” community to flush out a serial killer preying on young gay men.

It reminds me a little of the rough trade character that Richard Gere played in "Looking for Mr. Goodbar", 1978...Had this been a bigger budget movie, this could have been a star turn for Kirkwood in the same way that it was for Gere. Regardless of gay or straight, “HellBent” ranks as a must see for all fans of a good scare, making it worthy of major attention from all kinds of viewers (—after all, isn’t it about time for the guys to play the “damsel in distress’?) Having seen this film shortly after the first 2 seasons of Dante's Cove, I had a feeling that here!tv films was gonna revolutionize the normalization of the GLBT community and overall, I have yet to be discouraged.

This movie is gay horror based on the halloween films. The unnamed and ostensibly motiveless murderer is appropriately dark, shadowy, merciless and perfunctory in his killing — he makes for a memorable monster despite his familiar trappings. Sound familiar? In this case, "he" is a serial slasher who ambuses cute young gay guys, slashes and beheads them with a sickle, and keeps the head as a souvenier. On one level, it's a dynamic, hard-charging horror picture; on another, it posits the homophobia of the satanic slasher, who may be the devil incarnate, as the ultimate evil.
