Synopsis

Remington is in love with Hannah but she finds him lazy and uncouth. Then he starts to change. Suddenly he is becoming neater, nicer, more sensitive. Is he doing it for her? Or is something beyond his control changing him into someone he is not?

He discovers that his gradual transformation is tied to something he did long ago, to childhood transgressions and curses uttered in graveyards. Hannah falls for the new and improved Remington. But he starts falling for someone else, because the curse of a vengeful drag queen is turning him gay overnight.

When a serial killer begins stalking the town’s gay citizens with a homemade laser gun, Remington has to figure out a way to break the curse before he winds up dead! Let alone end up with Hannah!

Did we mention the army of flesh-eating drag queen zombies? They’re just the tip of the iceberg in this hysterically funny and outrageous camp comedy that was a smash hit in The Philippines last year.
