Description:
A remake of 'Faust' with a gay twist. An HIV positive middle-school art teacher who has recently lost a drag-queen friend to suicide writes a letter to the devil asking for help. After a demon shows up at his door, he finds the price he has to pay to be very high, as he slowly transforms himself into a racist and homophobic heterosexual.

QVamp says:

This is a very hard movie to watch. It was well done, and the transformation of the main character is flawless, but the subject matter is difficult to deal with. The majority of the movie deals with justifying bigotry and homophobia. This is NOT a Hollywoodized movie. So, for those that like their movies easy and predictable, avoid this. But, with that warning in place, I recommend this movie.

Through and through, this is a 'deal with the devil' movie. You don't get on the devil's radar by being good, and you don't get through it by learning lessons.
