Couldn’t even finish. It was more light porn no horror. Not even sure how this got here.

Truly a cautionary tale! The film is riddled with subtext and metaphors, examining the seedier part of gay culture. You root for the primary romance, while also hoping they never see each other again. The film is a slow paced thriller, that utilizes it's time developing the characters and building suspense. The end is dreadfully inevitable, but the journey was worth it!

It actually is scary if you've ever dated a killer.
