Shank – new gay film coming to dvd

This is one of the best gay films I have ever seen… good story, good looking guys and good sexy bits. It reminded me very much of an up to date version of Beautiful Thing. But don’t expect nice school boys falling in love, Shank is based around gang culture and features sex, drugs and violence. Shocking in parts, but overall a great love story.

Writhing with untamed sexuality and aggression, this blistering British indie centers on Cal, a teenage thug so desperate to hide his gay cravings from his gang members that he binges on drugs, anonymous sex and acts of violence. But the bad boy’s secret desires are uncovered when he rescues a kind-eyed French exchange student from one of the clan’s sadistic hate crimes. Though the two boys fall passionately in love, Cal’s crew is bent on revenge for his betrayal and the young lovers are placed in unspeakable danger. Unapologetic and as poignant as it is shocking, Shank is a must see.
