Into the Lion's Den

this movie is good for the plot not bad when you have nothing else to watch but this what has become of gay movies bad acting and not much of anything else

The acting and story line were not bad but the script needed a bit of work. Plus the film needed more script, too much film with no words. Probably a good hour, maybe 70 minutes. If you are going any longer you need more story lines to make the road trip interesting. Good cross-section of characters but not strong enough to carry the film.

the first 30 minutes is not heavy in great showmanship but after 30 to 46 minutes the movie really holds a punch in the fact that the acting gets better and the story line is so good you will remember this story line and movie a long time take out the nude parts and the rape with hiv and a better movie is made

This is a gay horror movie that will have you at the edge of your seat from the start to the end. With a gripping storyline an amazing cast you will forget your popcorn and soda!

The fact that I bought this movie based on the average 4 star rating here on Amazon proves that there is a sucker born every minute. Please, for the love of all that's holy, do NOT waste almost $13 like I did! Rent if you have to see what it's all about but DO NOT BUY! All-together, this movie is worth about 50 cents. The story so far: Three VERY GAY guys (fa-laming!) go on a cross-country quest to find a) some action, b) how to be a "man" (which is hilarious because the actor is basically a girl with testicles), and c) how to get over being infected by an HIV positive lover. All of this is explained ad nauseum to the viewer by the actors who have to sit and have a nice little gay talk about it... Boooring! One of the very first scenes is a show-everyone-my-huge-thing-because-that's-my-only-redeeming-quality-because-I-can't-act b**w-job inside a "dirty" pitstop bathroom stall. I almost turned it off at that point, realizing that I had basically been duped into thinking this thing had a story and instead had bought some fluffy, poorly acted porno. Later on in the story the "slut" of the group (same one that gave the b-j) hooks up with a very butch looking bartender in a very fake, very low-budget "bar" out in the middle of Pennsylvania. I turned it off after that. Ostensibly I believe the storyline is supposed to devolve into some kind of slasher film but I didn't bother to find out. This movie will be going to the nearest trashcan as soon as possible. I'm sure all the 4 star ratings were given by either a) the visually impaired, b) someone who has never seen a movie before, or c) friends of the actors. No substance, no story, nothing properly called acting.

It's tough to find gay horror movies that merit more than one viewing, but this is one of those rare instances where I was caught off guard. Into the Lion's Den is a bit like Hostel (as others have pointed out), but it has three leads with great rapport who help us through the weak spots. The torture scenes are tough, but do give the film a needed weight. The budget is obviously low, the acting spotty and i wish the producers had cast at least one actor among the three leads who was not a stereotype. But those are small complaints. There are some genuinely tense moments and it kept me guessing until the end.

This movie was okay...but it could have been a much better movie...if the actors had been more professional. The cast tries thier best to make the scenes work....but they just weren't convincing enough. The plot is about 3 gay men who set out to have a great time...only to land up at a straight bar where unexepected situations occur. The story is a sad one...not the kind of movie I would recommend to anyone.

The movie is OK, a bit slow to start. But the whole Hostel copy thing seems played out and the actors are never more than OK. There wasn't anything unexpected in this movie.
