Latin Boys Go to Hell

good

More of a cult film now. It's more about what could happen, than what did. Well, at least that's how I interpreted it. It's as if a Fellini film was merged with a D horror film. Still, I have watched it more than once.

The acting is horrible, the movie is stupid, and the cinematography looks cheap!!! This is what happens when you buy a DVD just cause the guy on the cover is hot. Avoid this junk at all costs. I would give it zero stars if I could. Absolute TRASH!!!!

Lb. are the best

amateur, and the cast isn't that good-looking; but I got sucked in by the title and front cover anyway. Sorry I bought it. Would rather a sweet, gay romance than the violence and craziness of this flix. - Bruce

For whatever reason, I didn't expect much from this movie.. but I got sucked in anyway.. It's a little campy and over the top at times, but suspenseful and gripping as well.. Kind of like those Telenovelas (Latin American soap operas) that are all over this film (maybe not quite as over the top, but if you watch, you can see the parallel)...That's another thing.. I love the symbolism they use...which is so bold, I can't help but love the drama of it all.... That and the attractive cast certainly doesn't hurt either.... It's not a provocative, challenging film by any means (who says it has to be anyway?), but it's a very entertaining, dare I say tantalizing gay indie film....I guess I'm a sucker for this sort of thing....

I recall when this film came to the arthouse film festivals and playhouses--usually $2.00-5.00 ticket depending on the venue. Given mainstream films with gay characters who weren't slashers or psychos were few most LGBT of the day put together their collective pride and went to view even one-star ventures like this hoping a few dollars went into political or community causes plus supporting LGBT artist and creators left outside the mainstream. The acting talent was par for indie film castings of the time period, and the background "popcorn dance" music tracks bring up the dreamy romance soundtracks from the 1950s and 1960s which were engineered to stir up hormones, dreams and desires. It is a film that plays more like a bizarre dream-sequence where crushes collide with danger and reality collides with fantasy. Plus, how could it be a "latin" film without a reference to telenovellas?

Cheerfully cheesy fun is guaranteed in this sexy, melodramatic soap opera about what happens to a Latino pretty Boy whose hormones go in to overdrive, when his goodlooking cousin Angel arrives for an extended stay. Not the best movie, but it does have some great laughs, and at times it seems a bit crazy, it makes up with the great story that seems to captivate you, and dares to go where those few movies are willing to take you. Check it out it, you will have a good time!
