Secret of Wendel Samson (The)

Country: USA, Language: English, 33 mins

  • Director: Mike Kuchar

CGiii Comment

The Kuchars made an enormous amount of crap...

Queer cinehiles have re-appraised their work and declared some of it a classic queer cinema...it's not, it's trashier than trash - even by John Waters' standards.

This is an absolute horror.

The(ir) Blurb...

Wendel Samson, who, confusedly frightened by every form of sex presented, first runs away from his boyfriend into the arms (and beds) of other admirers, male and female. Drifting, he is unfeeling toward his random male companions and unable to seal the deal with the ladies; a loveless lover. The psychological torment manifests itself as a dreamy witch-hunt in the sci-fi infused finale, when Samson's secret—and its real power—is revealed.
