There wasn't a single skeleton in this movie! Also, it has some of the worst sound mixing I've ever heard in a professional production, coupled with mumbly line delivery - impossible to follow without subs. The direction and editing is super weird, and it's clearly trying to do something Meaningful for the queer community, but the bigots are so hilariously over-the-top that it just provides cover for subtler bigotry. Feels like a ripoff of Stephen King, except HE WOULD HAVE PUT IN SKELETONS. >:/
