The SXSW Gay Sex Rom-Com With a Crack-Smoking Necrophiliac

If there’s something good to say about 'Down Low'—and there’s not much—it’s that it’s blessedly short.

for the first time is doomed from the start. It’s not just that Gary is dying, due to an inoperable brain tumor that’s given him a month to live. It’s that the closeted man they’ve invited over from a hook-up app jumps out of a window after a blowjob gone horribly wrong, hitting his head on the pavement below.careens off the rails from that point on. Gary and Cameron must clean up the mess, get rid of the dead body, and make sure no one catches them in the process.

We spend a large portion of this ping-ponging narrative with Simon Rex’s chaotic, crack-smoking corpse-fucker, whose gift to the film is inciting a drug trip scene that is itching to belong to the pantheon of great drug trip scenes. This is preceded by a literal makeover sequence that is less self-aware than it is self-satisfying, as is the drug trip itself, where the guys lip sync to an admittedly catchy but not well-known song.

Gage is particularly a culprit here, not just because he wrote the film. Cameron’s entire character is meant to be the loud opposition to Gary’s buttoned-up cultural know-nothing; that means he is happy to call things “toxic” and “triggering” and “hot” and “gay,” dialogue that is meant to pass as character-building. At least Gage is both pretty and committed to the film, which is hard to say about literally anyone else here.
