Oh my god, look how I can't even spell. I think it's underwear overload. Oh well, I guess the old commercial was true...Hanes makes you feel good all under.

I rented this DVD thinking "cool another warlock movie".  
"Voodoo Academy seems like a place were u would learn Voodoo but no i was way wrong. But when I watched it i almost s**t my self.  My jaw dropped these boys were rubbing themselves when they were half naked.  The effects, music, and filming was cheesy.  If i watch this movie again i just rewind through the rubbing part.  I would give it a 4.

No offense but i don't think your giving the movie enough credit.  I think the movie's director is quite a visionary, he's camera angles in a way sometimes remind me of Kubrick movie.  The VHS is BAD -- you can certainly tell that much of the scenes are cut down -- The DVD is much better -- showing full scenes and not just a montage of clips as the VHS did.  As for the movie being homoerotic -- I see what you mean -- but i think you simply are writing reviews to prove you a REAL MAN -- instead of writing reviews to tell about a movie -- if you didn't like the movie -- say why -- but don't give us a petty excuse that your straight and couldn't watch it -- I'm straight an enjoyed the movie -- i laughed through alot of it -- I have seen much worse things go on at male sleepovers -- don't tell me you don't know what I mean -- men (straight men) CAN handle this movie without getting grossed out.  Gay men -- it will be eye candy -- but i enjoyed the movie and think you focused to much on YOUR sexuality than the film.

Absolutely the best softcore gay porn to sneak in under the radar masquerading as a straight-to-video horror movie.
Major praise is due to the guys who were brave enough to finally come out - and I DO mean come out - to do this, from the director, the cast and crew, and the editor at Full Moon Entertainment who let the director's cut DVD be what it should be.

Straights can enjoy this as hilariously bad gross out filmmaking, but they'd be missing the point of this deliciously subversive video in which the cast seems to be having as much fun as the people who "get" this movie.  Even the movie's token female is used to good effect.

Outstandingly cheesy homoerotic camp thumbing its nose at the predictable conventions of horror/slasher movies - that's what this movie is all about.  

Count me in for VOODOO ACADEMY II: THE NEW PRIEST.

Uh huh

You'd think some straight guys would be able to handle something very, VERY subtely homoerotic when compared to the out-and-out lesbianism of movies such as Hybrid and Vampyres.

There wasnt even a gay kiss in here for gosh sakes!

Oh well. I still enjoyed it for what it was.

I'm a gay man and I found this movie unbearably boring to watch.  The acting was terrible, the guys may have been cute and sexy but that is not enough.  Sometimes it is for me, but NOT HERE.  The movie is like a bad porno without the sex - only the boring scenes leading... nowhere.

Oh my god. this was the worst movie i've ever seen. it was like one of those 'hot singles' from Blockbuster... it bordered on softcore. i thought they were going to bust out on full guy-on-guy action in the bathroom scene. there were so many homo moments in this film, it was amazing. this is definitely a movie for gay guys and their hags who aren't confident enough to grab some real porn. i found myself laughing out loud about how cheesy the whole thing was. The dialogue, the set, the quality of the film. The master for the DVD must have been some old video casette.
 

I hate DeCoteau

This is another David DeCoteau's movie. Don't worry, this is really normal if you see alot (see, too much) of gay action scene in underwear. This Director is Gay and started his career in gay porn movie (yak!). Just look on imdb for fun and watch his rating on his movies. They are all bads. His only "good rated" movie, its a gay drama about gay (specify that is  funnier) popular in gay communauty. So, try to find his other movies, this is hilarous to see how a bad gay, disgust director can make bad movies after bad after bad....
Good Luck!

I liked this movie; no it is not a great movie, but that is because DeCoute admits to rewriting parts of the script as the movie was being filmed. He also stated it had to be done in a week's time so many special effect were left out.  And if I can sit through 90 minutes of some lame girl running from an oversided demented whatsit; you str8 boys just need to let you girls enjoy themselves with this movie.

I think the grinding scenes are hot, especially if you change the sound options.

Just saw this three days ago...my daughter rented it along with Pink Flamingoes and Xanadu...(She had to see Xanadu to see why I ranted about it so much it on this site.) Movies like Voodoo Acadamy are the inevitable down side of the straight-to-video boon. Like FM radio, and MTV, once the mainstreams sees a profit they jump in with both feet and turn everything to s**t. The straight-to-video was a place for the wannabes and the uninviteds. The clinkers were unintentionally bad. Half baked ideas, half baked budgets, highly creative, if not actually talented, writers, directors and actors. Just like the good old days of Roger Corman Bs and the old s**t factories like Monogram and American International. Its obvious by the production values of this film that pros were in on it. There was something of a budget here. These actors were working for money...Jack Nicholson and Bruce Dern used to work for Corman for free food and to hopefully steal some of the wardrobe after the shoot. The point I'm making is that these sort of straight-to-video movies are just like any other commercially fueled production line pieces of s**t. Like TV sitcoms and Brittany Spears...Phoney! Corman hustled studios and indepentant backers to get his films made. Shooting was done on the fly. Every scene dripped with a feeling of desparation. Voodoo Acadamy, like run-of-the-mill television programming, just lays there and moans in the background noise. Forget this piece of crap...go rent an Andy Sidaris straigt-to-video...or Sam Raimis earlier efforts. These guys were working in the true spirit of the Bs...

I first saw this movie in the VHS version and was majorly disappointed.  But when I found out that there was an unedited DVD version, I ran out to get a player; this time I wasn't disappointed!  Sure, it's your standard low-budget horror flick but with a crucial difference: here, the guys are the objects of sexual attention/desire on the part of other characters (and, presumably, the viewer).  Viewed in this light, it's a raucous good time, and any "straight" boy who feels uncomfortable watching this movie has more to worry about than a few absurd plot twists . . .

Huntley Ritter is a dream, but he needs to not turn into a steroidy looking dude if he wants serious roles in Showbiz!-

The guy in the MPEG video (Paul) is Drew Fuller, the new member of the cast of CHARMED (alysa milano, holly marie combs, rose mcgowan). The first apparece in Charmed was in the last episode of last season (Oh my goddes)

Can you make another video of Drew from this movie?

This movie is cheesy, of course, but it's SEXY! Some of those guys are really yummy :)
