All Gay Thriller Movies

Movies

Here is a short list of GLBT dark thriller movies. These movies have significant queer content and while they are not quite horror, they should still cause you a moment or two of dread.

These are the items that have been found, a general description, and the general rating by the fans. (note: the ratings shows not only how good the story is, but also how well the horror or creatures are portrayed, and openly queer it is. A really good non-gay item might score very low).

This page focuses on all gay thriller items.
