Even accepting that this is a 'b' movie, I found the experience of watching it very arduous. However, I persevered in the hope that things would get better. They did not except for right in the last 5-10 minutes with the swimming pool scene. The actors do a great job with what they have been given to work with - which is not a lot! Fine for a wet Sunday afternoon if there is nothing better to do.

On seeing the names of the main characters in this series I had high hopes of an excellent, witty sitcom. Instead I got a low class, stereo-typing piece of trash. When you have watched the first episode you have watched the entire series. What plot line there is is not credible. The huge talents of McKellan, Jacobi and De La Tour are wasted on inane drivel and drag-queen bitchiness. As a gay man I had hoped that we were past this sort of drivel but clearly not. Sir Ian McKellan has been at the forefront of gay rights for many years, and it shocks me that he then chooses to take part in something that would have been thought funny in the 1970's. McKellan and Jacobi should hang their heads in shame.

So it's a low budget, badly acted 'horror' movie. I almost want to recategorise this movie as 'comedy'. I have seen worse from some of the biggest Hollywood 'stars'though. One almost got the feeling that the actors knew how bad the film was but hoped that it was so bad that it would gather 'cult' status. I don't think it will - but as a pure 'horror' movie it is worth a look at least. It is, for me, no worse than cannibal movies like 'The Hills Have Eyes'. As for those who feel that Christianity is given a raw deal - I say too bad. As a Buddhist myself, there is one word I think fits the situation for the miffed Christians - KARMA!
