Slay

"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.

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.

I wish i could give this 9.5 stars. In my opinion, 10 is reserved for your absolute favorites, and while i will definitely watch this again, its not quite there.

Excellent acting, a plot that was hammy but not stupid, decent action and mostly practical effects.

I really don't have much to complain about (which is not what I expected from a Tubi original). There were a couple blood after effects that looked pretty bad, and a few plot points that were pretty obvious, but they were very minor.

Had a good soundtrack too. Very appropriate for a drag show mixed with vampire horror.

Watch it for free on Tubi.

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.

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.
