Gay Zombie Love!
It’s Too Early for This / Dustin Rowles

Trade News | September 9, 2008 | Comments (38)

otto.jpgThere are those who love gay porn. There are also those who love zombie films. But, no one has ever really thought to combine the genres.

Until now.

I’m certain there are those within particular circles of folks who are all too familiar with a director by the name of Bruce La Bruce (“I loved the name so much, I used it twice!”), the director of such classics as No Skin off My Ass and Give Piece of Ass a Chance, and the winner of the Melbourne Underground Film Festival’s Award for Best Gratuitous Use of Sex, for his opus Rasberry Reich. Well, Bruce La Bruce, has a new film making the festival rounds. Otto; or Up with the Dead is the perfect movie for those who like the zombie flicks with a side of gay porn. Also, existentialism.

Here’s the trailer, but I warn you, it’s not safe for work. Unless you work in a brothel. And, honestly, I’m not even sure it would fly then. It’s … er … special. And the truth is, I kind of wish I could erase the last three minutes of my life, permanently. In other words, watch at your own peril. There are sick fuckers, and then there is Bruce La Bruce.

Could gay zombie porn be the new lesbian vampire film? One can hope. Something needs to take the gratuitous sexual horror flag and proudly fly it high.

Ooh! Ooh! Zombies! I'll review it!

[watches trailer]

Um... never mind.

Posted by: TK at September 9, 2008 9:58 AM

Since it's NSFW, I'll watch it when I get home, but just the title is enough to class it as one of The Things That make You Go "Eww!"

Gay zombie porn? Not in this part of Esher ...

Wait: isn't this what Tracy Morgan's character was working on in the last few eps of last season's 30 Rock?????

There are those who love gay porn.

Check.

There are also those who love zombie films.

Double-check.

Here's the trailer

...never have my hopes been so cruelly dashed.

Posted by: Shay at September 9, 2008 10:10 AM

Well, I for one am all for gay zombie porn. I too will have to wait 'til I get home to watch the trailer, but you better believe I can't hardly wait. Maybe I'll play sick and go home early!

Could gay zombie porn be the new lesbian vampire film?

Robert, I hope you're right. I was really getting bored with the les-vamp genre.

So this is how Ashlee Simpson got knocked up...

Is the forum gone now? I feel so confus... ooh waffles!

I was just wondering: do zombies have permanent erections? I can see the whole chain of rigor mortis, then flaccidity, then perhaps a renewed rigor once initially zombified (hence the stilted walk, the reduced flexibility), but that same physiology would argue that they are in a permanent state of priapism (no, Skittimus, that doesn't mean they drive hybrids) which would reduce libido considerably, thereby acting against the interests of zombie porn. The other option is the ability to be aroused which doesn't really work with the zombie physiology, plus isn't bloodlust their only stimulus? I'm just asking.

Posted by: PaddyDog at September 9, 2008 10:18 AM

Well, that trailer wasn't as horribly NSFW as I expected, what with your description and all.
I thought that picture in the headline looked familiar, though, and watching the trailer I realized where it's from. The band Crystal Castles uses scenes from this as part of their new video.

If TK would just let me borrow his keys to the basement we could've had that figured out months ago.

Don't look at me like that! I meant I would set up surveillance to study them. What kind of person do you think I am? I should just take my pandas and go...

jM:

Why don't you ask BarbadoSlim. He was captive there for about three months.

Posted by: PaddyDog at September 9, 2008 10:43 AM

OK, so, I gave up and watched it. Hopefully I don't get fired. I need to see this movie.

No, I mean, I NEED to see it. Zombies? Hot boy-on-boy action? Interpretive dance sequence? Oh, yeah. That's what I'm talking about.

P.S. PaddyDog, if vampires can impregnate each other AND human beings, then I think zombies can get boners.

Posted by: Anna von Beaverplatz at September 9, 2008 10:51 AM

See, I'd be interested if it weren't boring. I love zombies and I've looked at enough gay porn to qualify me as queer, but that trailer is as dull as a corpse that nobody bothered to reanimate.

Posted by: Lucas at September 9, 2008 10:53 AM

Anna von B.

I have no doubt about the boners. It's a question of whether they are permanent or come and go (so to speak).

Posted by: PaddyDog at September 9, 2008 10:54 AM

PaddyDog, I think it might be too soon. He may still be sensitive.

Posted by: jM at September 9, 2008 10:54 AM

For years, my post-it note listing "Things from porn movies that I ain't ever put in my mouth" has been pretty static.

That naive era is over. Blown out of the water. Topped, even.

Posted by: firedmyass at September 9, 2008 10:56 AM

Yes, that is what you were asking, isn't it. That'll teach me to shoot my mouth off (or, fingers) without paying enough attention.

Posted by: Anna von Beaverplatz at September 9, 2008 10:58 AM

This is just very effective marketing. They are targeting the gay necrophiliac demographic.

Zombie boners are as permanent as they are for middle-school boys wearing sweatpants in gym class. Damn you rope climb!

Posted by: branded at September 9, 2008 11:03 AM

They are targeting the gay necrophiliac demographic.

Doh! SO close.

Posted by: Julie at September 9, 2008 11:29 AM

Ahh, zombie porn. I would put money down that says that the TK has zombie porn.

Ummm. The comment section hates me and won't let me post. Is this a hint, you mother fuckers? What are you trying to say? Because I will not go quietly!

Posted by: Captain Steve at September 9, 2008 11:38 AM

Umm. Ok. So I figured it out, I think. However. This does not change the fact that you are ALL STILL MOTHER FUCKERS. Except, like, Julie. Maybe.

Posted by: Captain Steve at September 9, 2008 11:40 AM

(LH thinks "how bad could it be? and fires up the trailer)

Bruce LaBruce, meet Harmony Korine. You two can get to know each other on my Eternal Blacklist of Damnation. Seriously, you're both freaks with very debatable talent/skill. Either way, you've got nothing I'll ever want to see in this or any other lifetime. I said good day!

*ahem* I get the gay thing - not my cup of tea, but it's all right I guess. But the zombies? Totally unbelievable. Zombies are dead, people. Those "zombies" - clearly had lives and social interactions well above the level classically defined as "zombie," so TK you can go back to sharpening your knives, there's nothing threatening here. This was like watching gay emo or goth punks with a love-on for freaky makeup and/or blood/guts getting frisky, and what I saw was a bizarre love story set in the midst of typical anti-zombie persecution. So now I've wasted not only 3 minutes watching it, I've added 2 minutes commenting on it.

Apparently my life sucks. Carry on.

Well, I got as far as the dude picking up and eating roadkill, then I had to stop it.

Posted by: rlr260 at September 9, 2008 12:35 PM

I don't know Captain Steve, do you have any proof that I in fact do NOT fuck my mother?

Wait. Ew.

Posted by: Julie at September 9, 2008 12:37 PM

Hmm... first tentacle porn, then lesbian vampire porn, now gay zombie porn. What next? The bisexual-transsexual-porn version of Frankenstein? (The monster would have to have an enormous Schwanstucker, of course.)

Posted by: jeem at September 9, 2008 12:40 PM

The bisexual-transsexual-porn version of Frankenstein?

"Andy Warhol's..." wasn't? I'm almost disappointed if that's true.

Oh but don't mention the tentacles. I'm still recovering from that "Overfiend" theater experience fourteen years ago, shivering and shuddering and scream "WHAT IS HAPPENING????".

Posted by: Jay at September 9, 2008 12:47 PM

I'm not gonna lie, I want to see this. And PaddyDog....ummm...have you ever seen I, Zombie? There's a uh...disturbing take on zombie erections and what happens when you try to masturbate when you're necrosing. (and it suddenly occurs to me what a weird little film I Zombie was...)

Posted by: s. pisaster at September 9, 2008 1:01 PM

Damn it Paddy, now I too am imagining the logistics of zombie hard ons. I bet when zombies orgasm they expel a small cloud of dust..it probably sounds like an old man coughing.

Posted by: Julie at September 9, 2008 1:06 PM

After three minutes of watching that, then five minutes trying to figure out what the fuck I just watched, plus the one minute for this comment, added to the 14 hours I will have that music/cat screeching in my head, I have officially wasted too much of my life on a gay zombie movie.

Posted by: bj at September 9, 2008 1:38 PM

s. pisaster, I just looked up I, Zombie on IMDB. Thanks for that. Now I'm gonna have to watch it, and be disturbed, and lose 2 hours of my life, and I blame you.

Posted by: Anna von Beaverplatz at September 9, 2008 1:48 PM

s. pisaster:

Thanks for the reference. I shall check out I Zombie forthwith. That is when I finish thinking about the fact that there's a film that explores masturbation while necrosing.

Posted by: PaddyDog at September 9, 2008 1:50 PM

DUDE I totally suggested this in the Twilight comment thread. I should've known something like this already existed.

Posted by: figgylicious at September 9, 2008 5:26 PM

Where in the hell would you find this movie? Is it in a normal video store? A porn store? Some bizzare fetish store online? I need to know!!! Is it some straight-to-video thing, or what? Most importantly, is it just some crappy independent film with a little soft-core action, or do I get to see weiners? Big, hard, veiny zombie boners?

Posted by: Mistress Violet at September 9, 2008 7:59 PM

Apparently what we saw up there was rather tame. On imdb, one poster says he was most damaged by the penis penetrating a flesh wound for pleasure scene. And for the icing, they zoomed in.

Posted by: Just Me at September 10, 2008 1:52 PM

Gay zombie orgy! I actually sort of like the song, reminds me of a precocious Bjork when she was 12. Sounds vaguely like an 11 year old Gaby La-La. Anywho, it seemed a little too indie for me but I liked the scene that be picked up the roadkill!

Posted by: ph at September 11, 2008 5:50 PM

I was so very hopeful until I watched the trailer. Not a good example of either of my favourite types of films, alas! He's let me down this time.
