We're gonna carry on and plan the sequel, these days, you gotta have a sequel.

Y'all'an! And welcome back to Micro Queers.

It's a bi-weekly queer horror short roundup, and I'm Joe.

And I'm Trace, and this week we are talking Till Kleinerd's Bull Boys Village from 2011, which is kind of a ghost

tale, but maybe not.

I mean, it's kind of how you interpret it, right?

Oh, yes.

Yeah, it almost wants to have it both ways.

And I kind of appreciate that.

But folks, if you haven't seen the short, so it is the boys village was once a holiday home

for coal miner's sons boasting a pool, sports yards, and even a chapel of its own. Not much remains

of its former glory, though. Shattered glass and debris are all over the place, graffiti on the walls,

there are countless trapfalls,

and opportunities for injury.

This is a parent's nightmare, and yet it can be heaven on earth for a certain kind of child.

It more or less is for Kevin.

He has been 11 years old for quite some time now.

Has it been years or decades?

I did not read that logline before watching this short film. No. I actually think that that's way too spoilery for what this short is.

Yeah. I mean, granted, it makes me think that climbing, I'm sorry, climbing Kleiner doesn't want like

an open interpretation to the film, but, or unless he wasn't the one that wrote that.

Right.
