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 is a campy horror-comedy that is sure to become a cult classic. With its over-the-top performances, hilarious dialogue, and impressive vampire effects, Slay is a must-see for fans of the genre.
The film follows a group of drag queens who booked the wrong gig!!, But don't let it stand in their way of slaying the stage, their fun is cut short when they are attacked by a group of vampires. The friends must band together to fight for their lives, using whatever weapons they can fight with.
The cast of Slay is uniformly excellent. The girls give over-the-top performances that are both hilarious and endearing. Crystal Method is particularly standout.
The film's dialogue is also very funny. The characters are constantly making sarcastic remarks and witty observations, which keeps the audience laughing throughout the film.
The vampire effects in Slay are also very impressive. The vampires are a throw back to the buffy years.
Overall, Slay is a campy horror-comedy that is sure to please fans of the genre. With its great performances, hilarious dialogue, and impressive vampire effects, Slay is a must-see for anyone looking for a good laugh.

"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 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!!
