SYNOPSIS:  

Prolific cult filmmaker David DeCoteau unleashes a new diabolical experiment in extreme and provocative horror with Beastly Boyz - A Twisted Tale of Revenge.

With a retro 70's Grindhouse style and a dreamlike European sensibility, this "dark and fetishistic tale" (Mondo-Digital.com) is reminiscent of the films of controversial French shock-master Jean Rollin. With limited dialog and loads of visceral imagery, Beastly Boyz is a unique, and truly original, bizarre excursion into perversion!

Rachel, a beautiful young artist, is murdered at her secluded lake front house by a group of soulless killers. Enraged and shocked by his twin sister's senseless murder, Rachel's brother, Travis, vows to avenge her murder and punish her killers one by one - even if it costs him his soul.

SYNOPSIS:  

Helen (Marks) and Luella (Jean) are just another typical God-fearing mother and daughter, who happen to bake mincemeat muffins and run a charming if not a bit faded Bed and Breakfast.  Or are they? On the eve of the biggest gay party weekend of the year, and having not made advance reservations, five ‘couples’ find themselves having to make accommodations far from the city. What should have been the biggest party weekend quickly turns into every gay and lesbian’s worst nightmare... okay, straights would not like it either!  Sex, Lies, Murder and Mincemeat Pie... not a good combo for anyone!
