Great Performances: Dylan Fergus as Eddie

When it comes to slasher movies, every one needs to have the "Jamie Lee Curtis" character. That is, the plucky smart one who suspects something is going on while her more superficial, less intelligent girlfriends are knocked off one by one by the resident homicidal maniac.

In the case of the gay horror movie HellBent (directed by Paul Etheredge-Ouzts), "Jamie Lee" is played by actor Dylan Fergus. A hunky police department assistant trying to prove himself, Fergus' Eddie is just as resilient as Curtis' Halloween hero Laurie Strode in this effective throwback to the early days of John Carpenter and his ilk.

However, unlike the virginal Laurie, Eddie manages a little heavy petting action with a swarthy stranger, and you all know what happens when someone in a scary movie has sex. But Eddie has a secret of his own that just may save both their lives when the devilish killer comes calling ... for their heads!
