Theres elevated horror here, as well as serial killer movies and slashers.
And, hey, since were not about being exclusionary, straights are welcome to scream along.

Val (Natalia Solian) is pregnant, but married to rich jerk Raul (Alfonso Dosal).
The movie rather strongly suggests that stifling heteronormative conformity is about as horrific a fate as can be imagined.
Theres too much gay going on here to ignore.
Even the movie’s theme song reminds us, repeatedly, that “Love is with your brother.”
A late example of the sexy queer lady vampire genre (it’s a thing!
Its all-ages horror, for sure, but the movie is surprisingly smart and charmingly creepy.

Everything seems fine until a childhood of hers calls her Megan.
That premise is chillingly executed.
ThinkFrom Dusk Till Dawn, but gay.
Bad enough, even before the parasitic worms show up and people start disappearing.
