Movie: Femme
Fabulous drag queen Jules (Nathan Stewart-Jarrett) is brutally attacked one night after a show by a thug (George MacKay) out with his mates. Three months later, a very different Jules recognizes the thug in a gay sauna, leading to a cat-and-mouse game of identity, desire, shame and revenge. 2023 British erotic thriller is the debut from directors Sam H. Freeman and Ng Choon Ping, currently at 93/83 on Rotten Tomatoes. CW: violence, nail-biting suspense. Trailer. On Hulu and rentable elsewhere.
Movie: Butcher, Baker, Nightmare Maker
This psychological slasher and queer cult classic from 1982 tells the story of orphaned teen Billy (Jimmy McNichol) who becomes caught up in the twisted mind of his increasingly unhinged Aunt Cheryl (Susan Tyrrell, really going for it). It's driven by a surprisingly upfront queer subplot involving a bigoted detective who suspects Billy is part of a gay love triangle that ended in murder, and features a positive portrayal of a gay high school basketball coach along with some campy, gorey thrills. (It also lingers an awful lot on Jimmy McNichol's topless chest and butt, and includes a young Bill Paxton as a homophobic teammate.) Available on Shudder. [more inside]

On Netflix.
