'Follows two best friends on their final night together, with a nightmare of drugs, bugs, and horrific intimacy.'
To a degree, all on-screen nudity has a gratuitous nature, and a degree of exploitation. Anything photographed or filmed, has it intrinsically. It's part of the business actors have to either accept or fight. Swallowed certainly does, in wonderfully hot way. Beyond just the nude scenes featuring actor Cooper Koch, the entire story pushes boundaries in a gloriously gratuitous way.
If you've seen the film, you know what I mean. Even the title it teasingly fun. A gay themed movie called Swallowed, natural assumptions are made. What's swallowed however, like the horrific intimacy noted in the description are not human, instead they refer to bugs. Bugs with a bite that can bring on a drug induced high.
Sounds over the top right, it is, but in the hands of writer and director Carter Smith, it works. The acting also sells the story, and Koch's character Ben is certainly put through the ringer. It was especially great seeing Mark Patton, whose career and life I've followed for awhile now. It's great to see Mark back on screen, turning the tables on a hot young Twink, much like Freddy once did to him many years ago.
