Masters Of Horror: Sick Girl

Cast:  Angela Bettis, Erin Brown, Jesse Hlubik

Director:  Lucky McKee

2006


From the Masters Of Horror TV series, season 1 episode 10,  Sick Girl, focuses on the unusual budding relationship of two awkward lesbians.  The only thing scary about this is Angela Bettis' acting which is as stiff and annoying as her character, Ida.  On the other hand, Erin Brown (aka Misty Mundae) is enjoyable as Ida's girlfriend, Misty Falls.  90% of this story is about their relationship and nothing monstrous till the last 20 minutes when Misty begins eatting worms and bugs and then in the last 5 minutes is finally transformed into a bug creature.  I'd avoid this one if you're looking for good horror, but if you're interested in a lesbian love affair with a sci-fi/mutant twist, check it out.  There's also an indepedent horror film of the same name, so don't be confused.

Story:  A shy and awkward entomologist is down on her luck with the ladies until she meets Misty, the artist working in her building.  Someone sends Ida a package with an unclassified, parisitic bug that gets loose in her apartment, eventually biting and infecting Misty, altering her behavior and eventually turning both into half human/half bug creatures.

Gay Factor:  2 lesbians.  Female/Female kissing.  Female nudity.

2007

A unique sci-fi horror thriller but comes across as bland at times.  I enjoyed Matthew Montgomery as Craig but Derek Long comes off as stiff and unlikeable (not a great quality as the lead role).  If you do enjoy Derek Long or Allie Rivenbark, you should check them out in the more traditional horror slasher film Gay Bed & Breakfast Of Terror.  There is some full frontal nudity and sex but don't be mistaken into thinking that this is another softcore porn; the story carries itself and the sex falls into place like any regular movie.

Story:  After surviving a lightning strike, Doctor Bill Matthews becomes addicted to electricity and the addiction becomes the new drug for he and his lover, Craig.  The doctor's addiction grows stronger and uncontrolable, constantly looking for a bigger high.  The doctor implants electric circuits into he and Craig's wrists, but his desires evolve from quick electro shocks to electro sex and finally to a string of murders.

Gay Factors:  gay male characters, lesbian characters, male full frontal nudity & male/male sex.
