9 Dead Gay Guys

Nine Dead Gay Guys is a hilarious movie, make no mistake, but it is definitely not for everyone. It's crude, shameless, direct, and hard to ignore once you've seen it. I've sat through the movie with different types of crowds. Some thought it was laugh-out-loud funny, some thought it was gross, some even tried to look away for portions of it. They all agreed on one thing, though. It's a bit of a shocker! Not in a way that makes you jump out of your seat, but in a way that makes you think "whoa, I wasn't ready for that one!". Enjoying the film depends on what your attitude is while seeing it. If you choose to be "up-tight" and unopen, then the movie will come across to you as lewd and inappropriate. If you go into it knowing you're going to see something off-the-wall, different, funny, and alternative, you're more likely to have a good time. If you see the movie once and thought it was a little too much but thought it was funny, I encourage you to watch it again because be then the initial shock will be over and you can take the film for what it is. For it's boldness, uniqueness, and humor, I give the film 7 out of 10.

Nine Dead Gay Guys - the title says it all. You can tell from the title that the film is going to be irreverent and humorous. It is. I literally smiled through the entire 85-or-so minutes of this outrageously ballsy offering from first-time director Ky Mo Lab. Raymond Griffiths pretty much steals the show as "the desperate dwarf" (for some reason he kept reminding me of Val Kilmer), although everyone involved definitely pulls their weight. Looking forward to the next one to emerge from the Lab.

This is a very frivolous and enjoyable film, and pokes fun at just about everyone. I particularly enjoyed Glen Mulhurn and hope to see more of him in the future. Even when the film occasionally dragged, he was always there to bring it back in line again.

Just saw this on DVD and now have to buy it. I absolutely loved it, the characters were believable. A lot of the action identifiable and overall it was a great time. Distinctly off the wall, but right on track, great casting and a fabulous assortment of characters. There are a lot of unknowns in the film, but I'm glad to see that several have new projects. This film really showed off their uniqueness and more or less picked on everyone. This film gives a new meaning to being "politically incorrect", and takes it's jabs at everyone. There are so many silly stereotypes and generalizations that it has the potential to either offend the world or have the world laughing and rolling on the floors.

A must see!!!!!!!!!!!!

Byron and Kenny find themselves in a Greek tragedy of horrendous proportions as the gay guys that the cynical, drunken one of this Irish pair of 'working' lads has persuaded his more innocent friend to make money from start dropping dead. Ripped clothes and rent boys are in evidence as the lads start looking for the loot in the orthodox jew's bed, and they need a tool as big as two cans of Red Bull to get there. Luckily one is endowed with good fortune! The twits stumble through plot twists amid a succession of caricature characters and the film looks like South Park in live-action Brixton. Since every sensibility is deliberately offended, it reminds me of the attitude in Stephen Pickles' brilliant book of the pre-AIDS eighties, 'Queens.' No visible dicks may upset gays more than seeing themselves portrayed for laughs, but the lads are quite engaging, and humour not pornography dominates. It has won at gay as well as straight comedy film festivals (notably Montreal and Dublin) and the anxious straight critics needn't worry that they ought to be offended for their gay sisters. It's a tease: there are a couple of good twists about stereotypes near the end, and one of the lads realises he is enjoying the sex with men, while the other goes home to his mammy. In other words the film's biggest stereotypical statement is less about queens, dwarves, vicars, fat women, minicab drivers or black men than it is about Irishmen!
