I try not to be too down on some films but Fire Island really is awful. It has nothing to do with the fact that many of the characters are gay, that doesn't bother me at all, but the direction, editing, music, acting and story are really terrible. The characters are obnoxious, unlikeable and underdeveloped and why they would be friends in the first place is beyond me. You don't feel for any them. Nothing happens in the first 30 mins but we do get almost endless shots of wild deer and driving (for a film that's only 83 mins in length it shows there is very little story and lots of padding) and you can see who the killer is the moment you see them. There is no atmosphere, no tension just a lot of people who you want to see killed off. This is the worst film I've seen in 2023.
