Horror Queers

Queen of the Damned (2002)

Episode Description from the Publisher

Practice your Egyptian accent and bare that mid-drift because we are talking the troubled "adaptation" of Anne Rice's Queen of the Damned (2002). Directed by Australian Michael Rymer, this one was doomed by the suits before it was even greenlit (which happened AFTER all of the songs were written by Korn frontman Jonathan Davis). It's a bit of a clusterfuck. Plus: praising everything Aaliyah (RIP); critiquing everything Stuart Townsend (aside from his abs and leather pants); a soft queer reading of Marius; and bemoaning boring protagonist/audience surrogate JESSE.
