Movie has great background music thst fits perfectly. The use of LGBTQ characters for Fire Island was spot on. Robert Clohessy portraying both a serious detective and a drag queen is hysterical. Jonathan Bennett only gets more handsome with age! A little corney but is like a 1950’s thriller or horror with woke improvements! So I suspect the director and writers were almost criticizing the old age of more closed minded Hollywood!
Watched it on Showtime. Has an Entertaining and very funny drag queen show scene! Enough blood for me! and multiple suspicious characters to have you wondering who is killing everyone one of the vacationers. Some hotties for us Lgbt follks. Overall a combination of a thriller and scary movie with humor thrown in.
Looks like a 1950’s type thriller/horror but upgraded to represent modern liberalism. Most acting was very good. Connor Paolo is quite cute; especially in his shower scene! Jonathan Bennett; an LGBTQ icon gives a truly scary performance!! Tim Murphy as the psycho vagrant is spot on!
Be prepared for more of a thriller, with a surprise ending!
For a low budget film, this movie hits the mark.
The bad news is that Fire Island isn't great, the good news is that it only fills an hour twenty five minutes of your time on Earth. Unfortunately you won't find many thrills nor anything horrific in Fire Island directed by Myles Clohessy, nor will you find any fantastic photography of an Island I thought would display blue seas and golden sands.
The length of the film as you will by now have worked out does give much time for any in-depth character development so all Fire Island leaves us with is a group of mid twenty somethings being chased by someone dressed as an antelope. Yes, the story is a bit more thought out than that but writers amongst you will find very little inspiration from it and if this is what we get when the writers guild are on strike then please stop and get back to work asap.
Apart from a few death scenes of characters you know nothing about Fire Island doesn't do much and won't sadly be pushing for any awards. There are much better out there.
The twist is indeed a twist but won't be a surprise to anyone, if my Jack Dempsey fish could talk I am sure they would say they saw it coming a mile off too.
Fire Island is one of those you may end up watching but please expect to be somewhat disappointed by the vast majority of it.
