^Where is this homoerotic subtext you speak of. Pray, Tell us so that we may all rent said film and peruse it's hidden meanings....
Well, for starters... Joel Schumacher made it.
Then there's Keifer's chronic eyefucking of people who are NOT women
The all-male environment: there's only one woman except for the mum in the WHOLE FILM.
...women must not taste as good.
Also, the one woman that's remotely sexualised is suddenly out of the picture when Michael is being turned.
The sexy Rob Lowe poster on Sammy's wall
A long bathtub scene with a naked underage boy
Sammy never has his mouth closed. It's always hanging WIIIIIIIDE open. Especially while Michael is begging to be let in. Which brings in incest as well... HURRAH
They also spend a lot of time cuddling
The one male authority figure abandons the one female authority figure to reveal his vampedness... Hey, sometimes people can't admit it til they're older.
The theme song: "unchain me sister... love is with your brother..."
Hmmmm...
So, in closing. Vampire = Gay. Which is why no-one understands them and wants to kill them, and why they have the best hair.
It's really a very insightful film.
On the upside, Michael finally gets to impale David... so at least romance isn't dead.
