The eve of the biggest gay party of the year has finally arrived, but when five couples realize that no one has made advance reservations, they make the fateful mistake of booking rooms at the Sahara Salvation Inn, a quaint little inn run by God-fearing Helen (Mari Marks) and her lovely daughter, Luella (Georgia Jean). All they were looking to do was have a little fun for the weekend, but these vacationing gay couples are about to experience the fright of their lives. They should have known by the homey decor that their evangelical Republican host was used to a more traditional clientele, though they never would have suspected that Helen was seeking to cure her daughter of lesbian tendencies through "curing" a gay man and forcing him into a union that Luella never wanted. Now, as Helen attempts to set her guests "straight" with a little help from the half-redneck/half-maggot mutant who haunts the grounds, odds are good that none of the guests will get out of the inn alive. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Critic Reviews
-
Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times
Trash can be fun but this movie is too tedious and under-inspired to be amusing.
-
Nathan Lee, New York Times
An indecisive mix of tepid camp and gory gross-out, "The Gay Bed & Breakfast of Terror" doesn't go far enough in either direction.
-
Vadim Rizov, Village Voice
There's no joking here, only a sincere belief that anyone who isn't a sophisticated urban queer is a mouth-breathing Reagan fanatic panting to give a homosexual beatdown.
-
Blake French, Filmcritic.com
There's a fine line separating campy and cheeseball, however, and The Gay Bed and Breakfast of Terror delves far into the latter.
-
Fr. Chris Carpenter, Movie Dearest
A fun idea given a lame, low-budget execution; one of the worst films of 2008
