Frisk

Summary: If you dare...
Review: Storyline: Morbid tale of a gay male's obsession with pornography at an early age to what develops into a journy through the subconcious mind of an S+M freak. Blood, descriptive accounts of murder and mutalation. Not for the weak at heart or guts. Comic points are Parker Posey and her hetosexual lover, but still very black comedy. I enjoyed it, but I am a little wacked out myself, so...when and roam. If you dare this movie...enjoy it.

Summary: Tough Film
Review: This is an excellent film. I think it is also a tough film for people to judge the real merits of, because the subject matter is difficult, and the word of mouth has been that it is a gory film, that also gives the gay community a black eye. I think all this prevents people from properly appreciating the film.
Its drama folks, its about murder.
In truth it is not as gory as many slasher or recent war films are. And it certainly is not an attack on the gay community in any way.
So get some courage, get the film, don't prejudge it. I think if you do you will see it is a much better film than the(very incorrect!) buzz would have you believe.

Summary: Sickening, disturbing
Review: This movie contains very graphic violent scenes including mutilation. If you are not prepared to see lots of blood and body parts, you will feel nauseated and sick. I couldn't watch the movie until the end. I still feel emotionally disturbed. Your are warned.

Rating:
Summary: Really sad and messed up
Review: This movie is what happens to someone when their mother has an affair with their pediatrician and they find out about it. Really messed up stuff.

Summary: "Frisk:" Isnt As Graphic as the Book.
Review: Under the blood, knives, sex, violenvce and murder, lies a decent film. If you can stomach the more-than-disturbing visuals, graphic sex, violence, then you'r sure to appreciate the spirited performances by Michael Gunther and Parker Posey. VERY DIFFERENT from the book. All in all, not bad. I think me and my friend are the only ones who have seen this movie...

Summary: forget the controversy--it holds up well
Review: When "Frisk" debuted at the San Francisco Gay and Lesbian Film Festival it was met with outrage and shock by filmgoers. Viewed as homophobic in it's content and portrayal of gay men, the movie has gotten a bad wrap, but forget what people say and pick up this hot flick for mature audiences and see it for yourself.
A gorgeous cast of hot guys who do nude scenes (most notably handsome adult film actor Michael Gunther in the lead), some tight, if not artsy camera and lens work, as well as a more cohesive storyline that pulls together the arguably complicated tale as penned originally by author Dennis Cooper, make this a noteworthy film.
Not for the faint of heart, content includes controversial portrayals of BD/S&M, underground leather and fetish culture, as well as homicide, suicide, snuff and carries a generally moody atmosphere from the get go.
Interestingly enough, there is some humor to be found, but admittedly it's pretty dark, and while I wouldn't consider this film to be a black comedy per se, it does carry certain elements unique to the particular genre
Cast also includes Craig Chester and Parker Posey in supporting roles, and a cameo from Alexis Arquette as a punk for hire.
It needs to be said that the physical content of the film is largely symbolic to the plot and events (more so here than in Cooper's world), and comes down to a simple theme of sexual exploration.
If you collect art house erotica on DVD, this is a highly reccomended film.

Summary: Craig Chester rocks
Review: Yeah, it's not a great movie, but Craig Chester's character, Henry, stays with you long after it's over - his sadness and longing for love in all the wrong places resonates. See the movie for Craig, cause everyone else is pretty bad and he's the only three dimensional character. You actually care about him and you just want to jump into the screen and save him! Hard to believe it's the same actor from Kiss Me, Guido and Swoon.
