Review by Mike Szymanski
Three friends kidnap their friend for a bachelor party and rent an infamous haunted house. The friends are gay — very gay, and flamboyantly so.
The reason they are so over-the-top (and we all know those who are actually that way) is to contrast with the uber-straight just-out-of-the-military future brother-in-law to the “bride” who is getting gay married.
It’s all set in a haunted house that holds the mystery of a mother who supposedly killed her son and then killed herself.
This is a campy romp that won’t have you screaming, but squealing (and not like a pig) but with delight.
