We are nowhere near the 1980's and will never be again
I was trying to find out if there was a gay-man plot in Killer Rental and since I wasn't paying attention too well, I missed the secret clues. The first clue was one of the kids says, "you're so gay" and I immediately thought this was kind of derogative statement from the 80's. It was not. It was, "how cool it is that you are gay". Odd how it gets worse and worse towards the end of the film until we see two bros kissing in their modern experiment of trying to be gay. Seems modern liberal kids can't come up with better things to do than experiment with their sexuality with your bros. What a load of shit.
And I bumped the overall rating down for this movies being a found footage film, although it kind of isn't, but bills itself as such. The acting, the plot, and bits of gore aren't too bad. It's hard to get invested in these kids, so when they die we kind of cheer. I find it hard to recommend this film. Maybe if you fast forward the bro gay scene, it's worth a watch. God, I miss the 70's and 80's.
