On Amazon Prime:
Death Drop Gorgeous--Meat grinder meets glory hole.
That's right, meat grinder meets glory hole. This may be a cinematic first; in any case it should tell you everything you need to know about this low-budget slasher comedy set in the drag club scene of Providence, Rhode Island. Between this and Sam and Mattie Make a Zombie Movie, Providence may soon become a mecca for microbudget horror.
You know how some horror pictures use suggestion and understatement to create mood? Not so much in Death Drop Gorgeous. Blood gushes and flies in this over-the-top yarn, written and directed by Michael J. Ahern, Christopher Dalpe and Brandon Perras, all of whom are also in the cast. Not only is the gore extreme, the acting has a brash, over-the-top exuberance.
The movie plays like a hybrid of Friday the 13th, The Hunger and pretty much any John Waters movie before Hairspray. On its own terms, it's well shot and edited, and the splatter effects are capably done. It's not for everybody, obviously, and certainly isn't subtle. But it also isn't dull.
