The Brotherhood: Review

starstarstarstar
College freshmen Chris (Nathan Watkins) and Dan (Josh Hammond) are assigned to room together, even though they're polar opposites: Chris is a hunky jock and Dan is a high-strung nerd. But once they get to know each other they realize they have more in common than they initially thought; Chris, especially, is less confident and easy going than he appears, as well as less interested in the superficial perks of being a big man on campus. Dan and Chris are both attracted to fellow freshman Megan (Elizabeth Bruderman), but before any serious rivalry can develop Chris finds himself being pursued by AK, the hottest fraternity in town. Led by the charismatic Devon (Bradley Stryker), the AK frat boys are handsome, sharp-dressed and have the wildest parties ever. Naturally, they have a deep dark secret: They're vampires, and they recruited Chris because they need a human sacrifice, not a new pledge. Fortunately for Chris, Dan and Meagan aren't the kind of friends who'd let their pal fall prey to a cabal of bloodsuckers, even if he has been acting like a world-class jerk since he started hanging around with them. Veteran exploitation director David DeCoteau ventured into new territory with this T&A horror picture with a twist — the flesh on parade belongs almost exclusively to the film's cast of handsome young men. Though DeCoteau's Rapid Hearts Pictures was ostensibly established to make horror movies for women, the appeal of this and other Rapid Heart productions is clearly geared to gay men. Stars Stryker and Watkins spend much of their time (barely) clad in skin-tight boxer briefs, pretending to be interested in some half-dressed woman when they're clearly into in each other. The homoeroticism is just subdued enough that you don't have to see it if you absolutely, positively don't want to, but you'd have to not want to really badly. Though the acting is nothing much to speak of, the film's production values are surprisingly high for a low-budget effort. leave a comment
