As Monty Python used to say, "Now for something completely different." Actually, you may come up with other adjectives than "different" after viewing this flick. But it's a good start. At Twilight Come the Flesheaters is the latest release from the acting/producing team of VidKid Timo and Jim Buck. You may recall that last year's Mardis Gras Cowboy gained critical acclaim (and supporting actor awards) for Timo and launched Buck into superstardom. This follow-up is just as complex, but the sexual content is less ambitious. In other words, the video revolves around the storyline much more than the sex. Ready for some campy fun?
Eerie music plays as the black-and-white camera pans a cemetery. The opening credits are long, but it's apparently important to the ever-loyal Timo to name his cast (usually comprised of friends and associates) up front, rather that having you cut them off at the end. A guy rests against a headstone getting his dick blown by a blond drag queen. "An ugly one!" notes Timo (playing a character named Digiorno) as he watches the scene on his home video screen. An unexpected visitor arrives and it is Jim Buck (as Elusian), his long-lost friend and former lover. They take leave of Timo's current live-partner, Lambert (Lew R.) who is busy in the kitchen chopping onions. But first Timo engages in a humorously nasty call from Bebe Powers (played by Waverlie M.), a representative from Shitty Bank Visa.
As they stroll around New Orleans, Timo and Buck have a long, comfortable conversation, littered with old movie references. They also broach local gossip and the recent (real life) suicide of a porn star. Of course the conversation turns to sex, and of the wild times they had as a couple. Buck educates his friend on the finer points of having a Prince Albert, and we see brief clips of a cock getting pierced.
When they return home, Buck goes to the mirror and makes himself up in androgynous club kid drag. You've never seen him like this before. He soon removes the make-up in hopes of meeting men at the night's upcoming party. Timo calls around to invite guests, seemingly looking for some "extracurricular" activity (i.e. scam some dick on the side). Meanwhile in the bathroom, Buck discovers a dildo while searching for toilet paper. While activity after using the john is not my favorite sort of sex, Buck looks good riding the dildo. He later puts in a butt plug and strokes his big, pierced boner. After squeezing out some fresh juice, he decides to keep the plug intact for the party.
Blake and Todd (Kiki Ann Karrion and Hank Sledge) are the first to arrive for the party. Later, Donald (Jim D.) and his tall military cousin Philip (Jay Washington) show up. Ever since Timo's earlier call with the credit card company, we hear the pissed off voice of Bebe Powers as signs are posted all over New York saying "For a good time call...". The festivities at Timo's home are constantly being interrupted with phone calls from bizarre drags queens and strange guys. A coincidence?
After a call from Mr. Benson, a dominant leather dad, Timo imagines him in a sex club where he encounters blond Jordan X. in a cage. The dubbed-in dirty talk is hot, but Jordan is unable to suck a swell into Mr. Benson's meat. They move to a sling, where Jordan spreads his cheeks to receive ass play and a huge dildo. The couple shows their first (and only) sign of arousal when Jordan cums while having candle wax dripped on him.
Thedora and Thebeba (Christina B. and Colleen R.) are the final guests to the party, where they plan to screen a gay porn parody of Night of the Living Dead. It is called, you guessed it, At Twilight Come the Flesheaters. I will not reveal all of the details of the movie. Let's just say it is a campy, black-and-white suspense thriller that loosely parallels the action found in the original, even including the strong African-American hero (Anthony J). Of special interest is seeing Timo playing the starring role of Barbara in drag. He is appropriately over-the-top. Also there are humorous spins on incest and sex-starved zombies.
During the screening, party guest Todd fumbles around the bathroom in search of toilet paper. Instead, he finds a girlie magazine and decides to beat off. Soon Buck arrives with an offer of giving him head. Todd barely swells, but Buck's big dick is rigid on the oral return. On the second pass, Todd proffers a big, juicy boner to be sucked and pops a hot wad. Then Buck drops a small load on Todd's butt.
Throughout the party, Timo's lover Lambert chops unending bunches of green onions in the kitchen. Blake is there flirting with him in hopes of stealing him away. In a bedroom, the girls discover a home video from when Timo and Buck were together. It shows them in a three-way with Chris (Sheridan) who happens to be Lambert's brother. The wildly roaming camera captures swelled sucking and some rimming. Chris' pierced cock grows to impressive prominence after a while. It is cute to see that their "Mary" talk doesn't dampen the sex; these guys are having fun. Later, Chris sits on Buck's jumbo wiener. Then Timo takes a turn on top, riding him like a horny rabbit. Everyone eventually cums big.
After misdialing Timo's number, a buffed couple (David J. and Ed Silvers) make out on a sofa. One is a buzzed jock who gets a hard blow job and has his ass rimmed. He pumps out a jizzer while being fingered. His lover's hard dick appears in time to do a quick cumshot. The film-within-a-film ends on a similar note. Having survived the zombie attack, Anthony the hero comes out of the closet (literally) and beats off a quick cummer.
Following a conversation with Timo on the phone, a couple who missed the party reminisce about the time they had a three-way with Buck. In a New York apartment, we see the lovers (Dan Kelly and Luke Tower) coax Buck into shaving off his goatee. Later, they hit the bed with Dan blowing Buck's hard, curved banana. Then they mix it up, with everyone getting a taste of swelled meat. Buck pushes a fat fuck into Dan, as the camera provides excellent views. Then it's Luke's turn to take a ride on the star's rigid joystick. They all churn out hot wads.
Have you heard the saying "No rest for the wicked?" It applies here. Back at the party, Buck is at it again. This time he lures the soldier Philip into his room and sucks his juicy boner out of his white uniform. On the oral return, the military man shows that his lips know the way around a dick. It is a rare pleasure to see Buck go on all fours and get fucked (for a change). Philip gives it to him good, riding that ass like a man on a mission. Bottoming in three positions, Buck's big bone stays at full attention until he shoots. (Buck ought to write an instruction manual for all bottoms in the business, especially the do-nothing ones). Philip spurts nicely as well.
The party is over and Lambert is still chopping onions. Based on his friends' advice, he breaks up with a hysterical Timo. Throwing himself naked at Buck, Timo faces more rejection. A final call from Bebe Powers (the Shitty Bank Visa lady) clarifies the mysterious situation for Timo and for us. A final twist in the plot makes real life for Timo as horrifying as the earlier black and white film.
The video's style is reminiscent of an ambitious student art film, with a good helping of erotic content. The sex coverage is fleeting at times, but it usually works to forward the story. The final two romps (featuring Buck) pack the sort of heat that would be welcome in any film. At first the story seems to be about a bunch of oversexed queers, but later we see that there is much more going on beneath the surface. Like the characters here, perhaps this video is best viewed with friends at a screening party. Afterwards, you (and a pal?) can rewind back to your favorite scenes and take care of business.
