Below is the post for the film Model Kill but its co-star, Kaleb Scott, is much better known for his porn filmography, including: Wild Rangers 2 & Wild Rangers 3, as well as multiple films for Saggerzskaterz and boyspissing, and even more recently his own amateur self-filmed work. Here's a sample of his work....

Made with only $20,000, this is another "erotic with a plot" sequel to the original Model Kill from Dead Guys Cinema.

This is another super low budget, erotica with a plot, from Dead Guys Cinema, who also made the Dead Guys films.
Story: Jeffrey, a normal college student, becomes haunted by nightmares of erotic killings, first of guys he encounters in every day life, then increasing to guys he's never met. He seeks therapy but the nightmares continue until he gives in to his murderous passion.
Cast: Vince Vaughn, Anne Heche, Julianne Moore, Viggo Mortensen, William H. Macy, Philip Baker Hall
Director: Gus Van Sant
1998
A remake of a true American classic, coming at the beginning of the modern trend of remaking every horror classic. It wasn't considered as successful as its original and was criticized for its lack of originality, but unlike many horror remakes, this one stayed true to the original. Many scenes were copied shot for shot from the original to have the same look and feel. Much more of a true remake than the retold reboots like Halloween.
Story: Marion Crane steals money from her employer, then fleeing, she ends up at the Bates Motel, run by Norman Bates. Marion is murdered in the shower by Norman's "mother" but Marion's boyfriend and sister get suspicious and hire a private detective to look for her.
Gay Factor: Most of this film's gay factor comes from behind the scenes. There are no gay characters in the film, although it once again has Norman Bates crossdressing as his mother, but that isn't classified as gay, just a split personality.
The film comes from acclaimed gay director, Gus Van Sant, who also brought us the classic Drugstore Cowboy as well as the gay film, My Own Private Idaho, starring Keanu Reeves and River Phoenix. The film co-stars Anne Heche who became a household name during her marriage to famous lesbian actress/comedianne Ellen Degeneres. Now, Heche has returned to a heterosexual lifestyle, but her lesbian/bisexual past can't be ignored or denied.
Cast: Lindsay Lohan, Julia Ormond, Neal McDonough, Brian Geraghty
Director: Chris Sivertson

I haven't seen this one, so not much to say about rating it other than the facts. At the time it was considered a flop, earning $9 Million at the box office, under its $12 Million budget. However, the movie came at the peak of the anti-Linsay media explosion which left a dark cloud over the film from its release.
Story: A serial killer is on the loose in New Salem, torturing and killing young girls. When pianist & writer, Aubrey Fleming, goes missing its feared that she is the newest victim. A girl of Aubrey's description is found alive but critically injured. In the hospital, the girl claims to be Dakota Moss, a stripper who's never heard of Aubrey Fleming. Doctors believe it is just post traumatic stress but the girl speaks the truth: she's not Aubrey Fleming. However, she does hold a key to unravelling the mystery of Aubrey Fleming.
Gay Factor: No gay content or gay characters. It simply makes our list for its bisexual actress, Lindsay Lohan, who was involved in a long term love affair with girlfriend, Samantha Ronson.
Dead Guys is an extremely low budget, light erotic film with a murderous plot. From an erotic standpoint, there's plenty of skin and some full frontal nudity, unfortunately the sex is always interupted with murder. From a horror standpoint, there's a large body count, but not very scary. It was intentionally filmed in faded color to give it a unique feel, which also adds to its low budget quality. One good point, there's two unsuspected twists at the end!
Story: A psychopathic killer shares his secret with his lover and soon they become partners in crime. The two meet a third guy who shares their passion for killing, but the threesome gets sloppy and the police begin to find their trail.
