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.

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.

"Slay," a film drenched in Drag queerness, where vibrant characters strut across the screen in a mashup of genres: part Western, part vampire flick. Set in a single location, it cleverly maneuvers its budget constraints to uproarious effect. I haven't chuckled like this in ages.

It's a high-wire act of a movie, teetering on the edge of failure, yet somehow, it triumphs. Seamlessly blending its comedic concept, "Slay" soars. In an era where crafting broad, crowd-pleasing comedies is a challenge, this one boldly declares its presence, inviting audiences to join in the fun. But amidst the laughter, there's depth and consequence, adding layers of joy to the experience.

Slay" pleasantly surprised me with its entertaining blend of B-horror action and comedy. It embraced its identity and delivered an enjoyable experience from start to finish. The premise, centered around four drag queens inadvertently confronting vampires in a remote location, provided ample opportunities for both laughs and thrills.

One of the film's strengths lies in its solid cast, which includes well-known drag queens who inject their performances with charisma and flair. Their chemistry on screen adds to the fun and entertainment value of the movie.

I was particularly impressed by the production values and overall look and feel of the film. Despite its B-horror roots, "Slay" boasts impressive set design and special effects that elevate it above typical genre fare. The filmmakers clearly knew what they wanted to achieve and executed it effectively.

Moreover, the pacing and runtime of the film were well-managed, ensuring that it never overstayed its welcome. Additionally, the movie delivers a positive message, further enhancing its appeal.

Overall, "Slay" is a delightful surprise that offers plenty of laughs, thrills, and entertainment. It's a testament to the power of embracing one's identity and delivering a fun and engaging movie experience.
