Can we finally get more gore fetish focused horror with gay on it?? Will you all agree with it.
Since Leviticus and so many other queer horror hits are blowing up right now… would people actually want and agree if directors leaned HEAVY into gore first instead of romance.
Don’t get me wrong I love the ones we have like The Summer Hikaru Died, Khemjira, leviticus and similar gems are great… but as a gay man who is also huge slasher fan, I’ve been STARVING for the other side. I WANT GORRE MORE
It actually blows my mind how rare it is. Out of everything I’ve watched and read, only Grand Guignol (2022) ever came remotely close to exactly what I’m craving as a slasher fan and even that was far from perfect. Don’t get me twisted: I will defend that movie with my whole chest, but it absolutely had flaws. Nobody got proper depth, backstory or meaningful development. Because of that, it was genuinely hard to feel fully invested or to care deeply when people started dying, and you never really got inside anyone’s head the way you should. BUT and this is the huge, massive BUT the VIBE, the energy, the actual soul of it? 100% exactly what I’m talking about. It was soaked in blood, full of gore violence. Like I want horror gat aka BL— Blood & Lust. (Itsuki and Teshio had absolutely INSANE chemistry together. I would give anything to see those two actors work together again especially main leads in an actual BL or another horror project with gay shit on it)
And YES more of those gay horror shit to be more unapologetic like let it be obvious this was made by people who LOVE gore, torture aesthetics, and horror as a fetish too. Disguised fetish one lol. More sexualized slasher energy but GAY. You know exactly what I mean like once again I want BL aka Blood and Lust (Grand Guignol. Lol kissing each other when they barely just met)
We need more gore, grooming, manipulation, toxic dynamics, power plays, all the twisted themes that fit horror naturally.
I need people to understand: I am tired of almost everything being “BL / queer romance with horror elements sprinkled on top”. I love them but what I desperately want more of is HORROR FIRST that just so happens to have gay character of it. No requirement for a sweet love story, no requirement for them to be good people or healthy role models, no requirement for their bond to be romantic at all. It can just be lust, hunger, obsession, hate, need, or something that doesn’t even have a name. Normalizing queer people in horror means letting us exist everywhere in the genre not only when we’re there to deliver a beautiful love story. Sometimes we’re just the victims running for our lives. Sometimes we’re the killers. Sometimes it’s just: body after body dropping, blood spraying everywhere, clothes soaked red, people getting butchered left and right… and somewhere in between all the carnage, there is raw, unhinged gay tension and gay lust.
Lastly, once again we need more gore horror story with some random gay scenes in between (like kisses and sex). We need BL horror that means once again Blood and Lust
