Leofwine_draca Another day, another dreadful no-budget indie effort. This one posits itself as a mystery/horror/thriller but it ultimately fails as a proper movie in all of those genres. Instead it seems to promote itself as some kind of gay agenda movie, although the sexual content is surprisingly low and the film instead is happy to offer teasing nudity and not much else. Otherwise it's terribly amateurish, very cheap looking, with murders that are staged badly and stilted acting to boot. The incomprehensible storyline is the final nail in the coffin.

Stevenson318 I must admit I didn't lose interest in watching this film. However, I did lose interest in the plot. If soft porn is a genre then this film is the poster child. There was plenty of male full frontal, and staged sex, but no erections or insertions, thus keeping it out of the realm of complete porn. The story had something to do with a semi-psychic detective finding missing men who may or may not have been seduced by the devil, or at least a demon with a ravenous appetite. Most stories are boy meets girl(boy), boy loses girl(boy), boy gets girl(boy) back. This story is boy meets boy, boy screws boy, boy gets screwed back. Then boy is just screwed. Somehow this becomes a police mystery which in itself is a mystery. I somehow found myself wishing I could be one of the actors in this flick. It has to be fun spending most of the work day naked, pretending to have sex with hot guys. So if you want to see some hot guys having simulated hot sex then this is the film for you. Just don't worry about following the plot. If you want to follow the plot, watch it again. You still might not figure it out, but watching the sex scenes again are their own reward.

fanboyfx Occasionally a movie comes along that completely blows me away and reminds me to never judge a book by its cover. That happened to me twice this week, and this is one of those movies. Don't get me wrong, this movie is definitely a diamond in the rough….really rough. The cast at best is amateurish, the editor seems to be smoking crack on several occasions, and there are plot holes so big you could drive a hummer limo through them. But take a moment to look beyond these flaws and what you are left with is a fascinating and complex story that has more unexpected- ed twists than the court documents from David and Liza's divorce papers. I've been trying all week to explain to my friends why this movie is so good and the best I've come up with is imagine if David Lynch and Christopher Nolan decided to make a big gay murder mystery. A troubled cop gets a late call that may shed some light on a recent missing person case he's been working on. But when the young man and woman start to talk, their story may be more than the cop can handle. Orion Cross plays the mysterious Joshua and it's almost difficult to see his devil- ish turn because of his overwhelming good looks. Todd Tetreault, who plays Officer Cameron Ibanez, looks like a mix of Brad Pitt and Guy Pearce and has one of the most beautiful asses I have ever seen. And his big naked moment is tame compared to the mountains of flesh on display; cut, uncut, bears, boobs – there's truly something for everyone. And the sex scenes are so realistic it would make Queer as Folk fans blush. Co directed by Laura Reilly and Steven Vasquez. If you like light erotic drama, you'll definitely get a kick out of A Siren in the Dark.

John Turley This is soft core porn with touches of horror. You may call it what you want, but it is still a "porn film". It's also mostly gay. So who cares about the plot? Will anyone notice? The creators of this direct-to-DVD movie made an effort to produce something mysterious and spooky. The story takes place over the course of one long evening, as a witness ("Danny", played by David Beutler) has a detailed conversation with Police Officer Ibanez (played by Todd Tetreault). The time line jumps back and forth through flashbacks, though the overall idea makes sense.The backdrop for this story is an area of misty mountains hovering over Los Angeles County. Some young men have recently disappeared, and possible foul play is suspected. Officer Ibanez is working on the case. Curiously, he also has psychic abilities. He learns that the young men vanished after picking up a stranded motorist ("Joshua", played by Orion Cross) on a little-used stretch of highway. To solve this mystery, Officer Ibanez must learn the identity of this lost motorist, this intriguing "siren", who lures passing travelers away... But how will he find him? Meanwhile, as the investigation moves along, everyone is sleeping with everyone else. But of course, what would we otherwise expect? That's the point behind the movie, after all! For a low-budget effort, this was quite well done. Not to be taken too seriously.
