Pyotr495 (2016)
Canadian gay horror short film by Blake Mawson released in 2016.
PYOTR495 is 15-minute gay film about a young gay guy named Pyotr (Alex Ozerov) in Russia facing homophobic hooligans who lured him through gay apps into a trap he can’t escape – or can he? The Mawson movie delves into all created elements of horror, so get in the way, this is a gay monster movie and there will be blood.
