Into the Lion's Den

That was one of the funniest movies I watched in a long time. It was like a train wreck; you have to keep watching. The acting was terrible, the story was thin and the characters were poorly developed. A similar movie would not have earned even half a star. It was really that bad.BUTA gay horror flick! Ingenious! It started out completely plausible. It even played to some fantasies usually reserved for movies that you can't get on Amazon (and the acting was just as bad). That's where it got funny. I couldn't stop laughing as the boys tried to escape their situation. Oh my lord - it was a scene right out of a bad 60s 'B' movie. 5 stars for camp!Seriously, if you want to watch a good gay themed flick with hot male actors, pass this one up. But if you have an hour and a half to kill and a few dollars left on that amazon gift card (and you've watched every other movie in the library) give this one a try. Just keep a sense of humor about you.

This was more of a comedy than a horror really because, unless you're a poor little latin boy in drag, you're not likely to find many gays indulging in Transcontinental road trips. In a car. Stopping at motels without frequency programs and concierge floors. And, suspension of disbelief will only take you so far and, it most certainly will never take you to that bar. This would have been amazing had they really gone for a shameless gay remake of Hostel. Even so, for everything it wasn't, it was enjoyable with some strong moments, a few good lines and a fair amount of camp humor. But, this is one you can easily watch whilst putting your curlers in at night.

It's tough to find gay horror movies that merit more than one viewing, but this is one of those rare instances where I was caught off guard. Into the Lion's Den is a bit like Hostel (as others have pointed out), but it has three leads with great rapport who help us through the weak spots. The torture scenes are tough, but do give the film a needed weight. The budget is obviously low, the acting spotty and i wish the producers had cast at least one actor among the three leads who was not a stereotype. But those are small complaints. There are some genuinely tense moments and it kept me guessing until the end.

It is almost impossible to rate this. At one point I thought this is offensive and not politically correct. Then I laughed. Then I thought gay people have as much right to make fun of themselves as anyone else. It is campy. I loved some of the banter. The horror part is kind of dumb. The movie is a worth a watch. My reactions were almost as interesting to me as the movie itself. I get the impression that this is the beginning of something. As a B horror picture fan,I applaud the attempts to add fresh ideas to the genre.

the first 30 minutes is not heavy in great showmanship but after 30 to 46 minutes the movie really holds a punch in the fact that the acting gets better and the story line is so good you will remember this story line and movie a long time take out the nude parts and the rape with hiv and a better movie is made

The fact that I bought this movie based on the average 4 star rating here on Amazon proves that there is a sucker born every minute. Please, for the love of all that's holy, do NOT waste almost $13 like I did! Rent if you have to see what it's all about but DO NOT BUY! All-together, this movie is worth about 50 cents.The story so far: Three VERY GAY guys (fa-laming!) go on a cross-country quest to find a) some action, b) how to be a "man" (which is hilarious because the actor is basically a girl with testicles), and c) how to get over being infected by an HIV positive lover. All of this is explained ad nauseum to the viewer by the actors who have to sit and have a nice little gay talk about it... Boooring!One of the very first scenes is a show-everyone-my-huge-thing-because-that's-my-only-redeeming-quality-because-I-can't-act b**w-job inside a "dirty" pitstop bathroom stall. I almost turned it off at that point, realizing that I had basically been duped into thinking this thing had a story and instead had bought some fluffy, poorly acted porno. Later on in the story the "slut" of the group (same one that gave the b-j) hooks up with a very butch looking bartender in a very fake, very low-budget "bar" out in the middle of Pennsylvania.I turned it off after that. Ostensibly I believe the storyline is supposed to devolve into some kind of slasher film but I didn't bother to find out. This movie will be going to the nearest trashcan as soon as possible. I'm sure all the 4 star ratings were given by either a) the visually impaired, b) someone who has never seen a movie before, or c) friends of the actors.No substance, no story, nothing properly called acting.

Into The Lion's Den is a gay-themed thriller, in the vein of Hostel. Only it's far less gruesome, and far more interesting. It's a well-acted, fast paced ride that runs 74 minutes, and I never checked the time or got bored. That hardly ever happens. If you want something different or unique in a gay movie or an independent film, then try Into The Lion's Den!

This film is not going to win any awards but it wasn't bad. I've certainly watched a lot worse. Probably the main reason to watch it is Ronnie Kroell eye candy. It may make you think twice about using a hook-up app, though.

Just got done watching this film. And it's actually shorter than 82 minutes. The film isn't bad. It's just not very good either. But the lead guy is HOT and hardcore gay porn star jake steel makes an appearance.

Super
