Boys Weekend is Horror 101 with Comedy 102. The mix of GLBTQ themes, friendship, love, family, and an odd cult-religion all play together with first the idea of humanity, society roles and more that is taking front stage. You can take the action as a straightforward horror/thriller story or take it for a deeper meaning, but however you take it know there are possible triggers, such as violence, guns, sexual situations, visual gross-outs and blood. Lots of blood. Totally not for everyone, but everyone might take something away from it.
Mattie Lubchansky takes the story of Sammie, a newly out trans woman, and decides you don’t need a nice
happy story! OH NO! You need one screwed up mess! (And you’ll probably love every minute of it!) Invited to an old friend’s bachelor weekend on an island that probably rivals any Greek/Roman/Las Vegas orgy, they soon realize over-drinking and barfing on the (genetically altered) strippers is the least of their worries. Being dead-gendered, having to deal with sexist and homophobic comments, one-up-manship, the only other female there more worried about “being better than the boys,” and a few other things is nothing compared to the cultish “business group” also on the island, dead friends showing up alive, a possible sea monster, and what looks like a stalker, Sammie also must deal with. And when they learn the truth, nobody is going to believe them. After all, they don’t believe it!
Science fiction, horror and reality come together to toss about the wave of Sammie’s second coming of age and the destroying of their past so they can have a future as their true self.
Several possible triggers included, but not limited too: anti-trans comments, sexism, blood, guns, hunting of people, and more.
