The Raven (2007)
In this update to Edgar Allan Poe's classic tale, it's time for the biggest gay party of the year. Unfortunately, the host has chosen the site of the infamous Ravenswood Massacre to stage his blowout gala, where a mass murder happened fifty years ago to the night. The boozie revelry is cut short when a Raven-masked killer crashes the party, intent on repeating the bloody history. As the unknown killer picks the guests off, old grudges resurface among friends, and new suspicions emerge.

Even for a David Decoteau production, this was bad. If you've watched a Dick Chasen product before, you know what to expect: a barely-there horror plot, some light same-sex petting, and a lady in lingerie if you're lucky. Unfortunately, this time, the guys aren't all that attractive, and the token female character doesn't disrobe. However, what makes this entry particularly atrocious is the amateur South African cast trying and failing to pull off English accents for the entire runtime.
