Slay

I really thought this movie was going to be very cringe. Most drag movies aren't really good. This movie was actually really good. I loved the jokes and the message the movie delivered. I also loved that they used other vampire movie references. These queens did a really great job with their acting. This is NOT a Rupaul acting challenge. I really hope there is a sequel with more drag queens or even drag kings. Give it a try, if you got 1 hour and 30 minutes to waste. I am so glad that they did NOT used the God awful producer --Assaad Yacoub-that every drag queen uses for music videos or projects.

From (free) tubi streaming. When four drag queens are mistakenly booked to perform their show at a redneck biker bar, they fear for the worst. But they stick around for a couple fans who have been waiting for them to arrive. It seems to be similar to "to wong foo".. where they ended up in a small, rough town, but make some friends along the way. Not a lot of info on this, and not many votes, so clearly it hasn't been viewed by many people yet. Some fun costumes. The script needed some fixing up... pretty slow in places. Even the drag banter was less than optimal. It quickly turns into vampires against humans. Except the barflies don't realize the vampires are on the move until about thirty minutes in! Then it turns into a vincent price horror story. It's okay. Kind of fun, but lower budget. Written and directed by jem garrard. Garrard has worked on various tv series and films. A canadian film, filmed in south africa.

I'm not the first to say this is "Too Wong Foo..." meets "From Dusk Til Dawn", nor will I be the last, I'm sure. But if you're looking for the elevator pitch, that's essentially what this glorious horror comedy is.

I have watched A LOT of mediocre comedy with Drag Race alums, but this isn't one of them. "Slay" knows exactly what type of camp comedy/horror it wants to be and it embodies that PERFECTLY. And Director/Writer Jem Garrard does a wonderful job getting good performances out of Trinity the Tuck, Heidi N Closet, Cara Melle, and Crystal Methyd. Sure, there are a few clunky line deliveries here and there, but they're forgivable when everything else is so delightful.

I thoroughly enjoyed this movie and thought the characters were so funny. There were lots of characters (other than the Queens) that really made the movie and story line great. It poked fun at itself a little bit especially with a scene that was full of written action sequences but wasn't given the budget to complete.

It was shot great and had fun wardrobe, lots of laugh out loud comedy bits and a few good jump scares.

It also paid great homage to the previous Vampire movies/Cult classics with references and discussion.

It's been a long time since I watched/ finished a movie and thought "that was actually really entertaining!"

I hope Tubi keeps making films like this and everyone go enjoy it while it's still free!!

Was it perfect? Oh no. But then I wasn't expecting perfection. I enjoyed the performances of Trinity the Tuck, Heidi N Closet and Crystal Methyd particularly. I was pleasantly surprised by Crystal as I did not care for her much when she was on Drag Race. Cara Melle was a bit of a disappointment. She didn't embrace the absurdity as much as the other queens did with their characters. The supporting cast surprised me with their commitment to their characters. I laughed, yelled out "Ewwwww!" frequently, and thoroughly enjoyed myself. I could go all academic and do a high-falutin' critique, but why do that when I had so much fun watching. It's a silly bloody dragfest of a film and absolutely worth giving a go. Heidi N Closet and Crystal Methyd's performances alone are so absolutely OTT and, to use a RuPaul-ism, "STUPID!" that your will not be wasting your time.
