Muerte Glamourosa

When I caught this title, I thought I might be in for a lot of fun: over-the-top drag queens, lots of comedy, bad acting, and just plain fun. Boy, was I in for a surprise.

This movie was mean spirited, ugly, vile, and showed no imagination whatsoever....and there's not one single "death drop" in the movie. What you have are mainly caricatures, very graphic violence, and a script that was all over the place. It seems a killer (a/k/a the "vampire") is offing gay people left and right, draining them of all their blood. Now, I have a question for all those concerned gay hecklers every time a gay character is shown in a bad light: why aren't you complaining about this movie?

From what I saw, I would have to say this movie is UR. It contains a very graphic sex scene, constant language, and graphic violence. This is NOT for children or anyone under 18 and certainly NOT recommended.

If you enjoy midnight movies, this is the one for you!!!

Not a good movie to watch for especially the movie has nothing to show the cast are all new characters in the movie.

Someone is killing drag queens at a dumpy gay club, but who could it be?

Death Drop Gorgeous is a strange mix of Girls Will Be Girls and an Italian giallo film with garish lighting, lots of gore, and zany one liners. It seems the filmmakers didn't have much of a budget to work with and that becomes apparent when some shoddy camerawork and less than ideal performances by non-actors appear, but there's enough to recommend including some interesting commentary on aging in the LGBTQ community. It's a film that would have worked better with a slightly quicker pace. It does have the tendency to ramble a bit too much, but it means well.

Wow, this was something else.

And it certainly wasn't what I had expected after having read the movie's synopsis. I must admit that I was expecting a murder mystery of sorts. But nay, that is not what writers and directors Michael J. Ahern, Christopher Dalpe and Brandon Perras delivered.

Instead I found myself in for a movie of showcasing aging drag queens and what not in the gay community. Sure, I got nothing against drag queens or the gay community, but this movie was just as far from what the movie's synopsis promised.

The acting performances in the movie were dubious at best. But it certainly looked like those involved were having fun making this movie.

I am quite sure that there is an audience out there for a movie such as "Death Drop Gorgeous". I, however, just wasn't part of that particular audience. I managed to endure a staggering 50 minutes of this 2020 movie before I just called it quits. And I have zero intentions of returning.

My rating of "Death Drop Gorgeous" lands on a three out of ten stars.
