"Die Already" is a queer horror comedy that loves the genre it's skewering, gleefully deploying every slasher convention while turning them inside out. It's bloody, it's funny, it's surprisingly sexy, and it has a lot to say about who gets to survive, and who's been writing the script all along. It's Halloween night in a small gay bar in Hillcrest, and Branigan Prescott has exactly one thing on his mind, ending a two-month dry spell. Dressed as Jason Voorhees with meticulous attention to detail and armed with a rubber machete, he's ready for anything. Or so he thinks. When Chase Hardesty walks in dressed as Kevin Bacon's death scene from "Friday the 13th," it feels like fate. Two horror obsessives, same movie, same night. What follows is flirtation, trivia, dancing and the kind of meet-cute that only happens on Halloween. When Chase's partner Jordan arrives and an invitation back to their isolated cabin is extended, Branigan accepts, double dog dared by his best friend Gary into the adventure of a lifetime. But as the night deepens and the storm closes in, the rules of horror movies Branigan knows so well begin to apply with terrifying literality. Somebody has been doing their research. Somebody has been casting. And the final girl, or in this case, the final boy, is going to have to fight like hell to make it to the last frame. Compulsion Dance & Theatre: Website / Instagram
