In this initially intriguing but ultimately unsatisfying alleged "thriller" a drag queen (Sean Sprawling) and his butler (Simon Phillips) invite a serial killer (Vincent van Hinte) to a gathering of people, both gay and straight, and wait to see what bloodiness will develop. Meanwhile in a series of flash -forwards, two detectives -- Denver (Natalie Burn) and Holden (Sean Patrick Flanery) -- interview the survivors and try to get to the bottom of everything. Good luck! There are humongous plot holes even when the true architect behind the scenes is revealed -- it's not really worth the wait. Sprawling's performance consists of attitudinizing that passes for acting; the others are a bit better, including Grant Pfost as Eric, who is humiliated by the drag host; Andres Erickson as Jason, who is taken to task for saying he is not that attracted to black men; and black Jeff (Rich Paul), who tells him that he is not at all his type anyway. Okay, there's some interesting dialogue and characters in this, but the screenplay is not at all well-developed, and you may find yourself groaning at the ending, which does not come as that big a surprise. Martina Vargas and Sarah J. Butler are the attractive ladies lost in this disappointing mess. This might have worked better as a genuine slasher flick.
Verdict: Another bummer on Amazon Prime. **.
