Beverly Kills

Whacked-out, muscle-bound, cross-dressing actor Beverly Jackson has been rejected for a role in Pride Playhouses nude theatrical production of "Balls Out." Furious, Beverly decides to form a diabolical cult of revenge! Meanwhile, back at the Playhouse, adorable employee Shane falls right into the arms of Ray, a lighting designer, and the two are swept into Beverly's bizarre scheme. Featuring lots of cuties, a hot romance and a twisted drag queen, you are guaranteed loads of laughs with this riotous comedy from the twisted mind of filmmaker Damion Dietz.

Directed by Damion Dietz, Beverly Kills leans on a strong ensemble — Gary Kelley, Rick Sparks, Keith Bearden — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 2005.
