good back-story, and good acting

It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.

It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

But that's because they're not the market David is trying to reach. He's trying to reach me and my friends. Slow walks in white boxer briefs across a gym in blue lighting. Boys at an academy. I think Mr. DeCoteau must have a good experience in his teens at a boys school. Midnight hot tub fun in wet dripping white boxer briefs. Yum. These films are for men who like men in danger and who are half dressed. Cool. Straight boys have T & A and we have David DeCoteau. The gentleman is getting better and better at making these types of films. His style continues to get risker, and risquer. The story lines are also more interesting, but I think style is what attractions, young gay men who want to giggle at the pseudo horror angle. And what the hell is wrong with young, hot men in white boxer briefs. Nothing! I loved it when the bad dude, Victor, thrusts his pus into the "new kid's" face. It's all fun and provocative. Near the end of the film -- all the boys are on the bed (with the token fat chick) and Victor slowly undresses the good guy -- the music, the camera work - it's all very hot. What with the bad guys in their black boxer briefs and the good guys are in their -- well, you know. Enjoy!

David Decotau is a competent director. He has directed numerous Full Moon pictures like Puppet Master and Shrieker under pseudonyms. Those were both good films. However, his homosexuality seems to be his main motive for directing these days, and young buff guys in their boxer briefs seem to be his major visual reference. This is all fine and well, but he disguises these films as teen horror movies, not unlike Scream, and packages them the same. A typical straight male is not going to enjoy this type of movie, unless he is hiding something! I am getting sick of Mr. Decotau's films. They are polluting movie shelves and, quite frankly...gay or not, are really bad movies. This man ran out of steam long before Full Moon ran out of business. He must be stopped!

I have seen several of David Decoteu's films, many of them were from the BROTHERHOOD series. Though they are definitely not something I would pay money at the theater to see, they are not horrible(trust me, I have seen worse movies caring the name: horror). I would have to say they are creative.The S/F/X are not exactly top-notched, but they are decent for B-type movies. However, the light shows are not the reasons why many people watched the movies, it's the characters and the way they are shown.The actors that Decoteu picks for his movies are......how can I say...very attractive in more than the professional way. They are shot in ways that would be classified as provocative and teasing. This movie stays with that tradition-especially during a shower scene; I started to feel sorry for the guy in that scene. I don't normally look at another guy's body but he was....very well toned and it was a pity that what happened to his character happened. The director also does some very long shots on showing their bodies. Basically scanning every inch, from some very well defined legs to very toned abs and chests. None of these guys are nude in his movies(except for one), but there is so much emphasis on the male form and the ways that they are shown that one would almost say that they are.To make this jumble of paragraphs mean something, I will end it with this. If you are looking for big budget movies with well-known actors and big S/F/X, look somewhere else. But if you are looking for a decent movie with some very attractive guys who are in great shape, with a decent story plot, then this is the one for you. You can see these currently on HERETV. Some can be rented as well(for the non-satellite watchers). So, make your own decision. Later.

When I see a movie has an IV in its title and I've never heard of the other three, I have a pretty good idea what I'm in for. Mmmmmmmm cheese, a huge heaping pile of Canadian cheese in fact.Firstly I was attracted by its supposed genre, horror. Since I haven't had a good scare in a while I figured it should at least give me a jolt. No jolt was had. Okay, it wasn't at all scary, maybe an explosion or two, it does after all take place on a military base. No explosions to be seen. Alright, maybe it will be saved by a strong script and good acting. Oh no my friends, horrible script, and the most over the top acting I've seen to date and Michael Ironside wasn't even in it. So what does it have? What cinematic fruits does it bare? Naked moonlight walks to the showers, and hilariously bad lightning effects.This is the most homo erotic movie to come out of Canada since Strange Brew. Long extended shower scenes with close ups on abs, naked finger painting of fellow cadets, and nary a woman to be seen. Oh, and Greco roman wrestling. Seriously this one shower scene made no sense. One of the cadets hears a disturbance and goes to check it out, takes a slow walk to the shower in just his tightly issue whiteys, like a very very slow walk for some reason, like John Wayne styles. Anyway, he goes to check it out, nothing of course. So, he decides well, I'm a little ripe, shower time for me. Okay longest, gayest shower scene ever. He hears the noise again, gets out of the shower, does same "Duke" Saunter back to his room, and finds nothing. So, since his shower was cut short, he returns to it, and begins to wash his abs once again, by this time I was quite flustered but enough about that, back to the movie. So, after he finishes showering he gets out and the scary lightning gets him. Oh, the horror (no exclamation point.)Look, if you're a closet homosexual, which of coarse is okay by all means, and you want to stay in that nice safe closet and never let on but you need some cinematic accompaniment to your release then Brotherhood IV is the movie for you. If you want to watch a good old fashion scary movie, then my friend stay away and save yourself the confusing life shattering erections, I mean plot horrible plot.
