Verow is known for making extremely low budget movies that rely heavily on explicit (usually not simulated, meaning they are actually having sex on camera) sexuality. These films aren't GOOD, they're often trite and more often than not he is the star as well as writer and director. So you end up seeing quite a lot of Todd Verow having pornographic sex on screen.
"You Can't Stay Here" is his first film that does NOT have unsimulated sex scenes, which is likely because of the fact that he somehow managed to rope in big name stars like Diaz to appear/star. It's a shame because this incredibly boring movie could have used SOMETHING to make it interesting.
The film literally has no perspective, nothing fresh, nothing new going on. The plot has been done to death: closet case gets caught by wife having gay sex, turns to anonymous park sex for thrills, gets caught up in a murder mystery scenario. It's been done before, but so much better.
It's hard to tell if the acting in the film is uniformly terrible because it just is, or because the writing and dialog are so awful, but either way it's very nearly unwatchable. There is nothing suspenseful, thrilling or scary going on for a single second of this movie.
It looks like it was shot on iPhones, and not even the latest model. In that respect it just adds cheapness to the already cheap feeling the entire project elicits.
It's just BAD, from start to finish, and a low point in the ouvre Verow who has already made quite a lot of absolute garbage. Only people who are easily impressed or are trying to kiss the behind of famous people within queer cinema would find merit in this absolute slop.
