David DeCoteau started his career in 1985 (under the name “Dave McCabe”), churning out gay porn videos at a rate of about one a month. He then became a Roger Corman protege, working under his own name and several pseudonyms (usually women’s names) and directed dozens of direct-to-video exploitation films (several in the WIP collection) throughout the late 1980s and 1990s: “Creepozoids,” “Sorority Babes in the Slimeball Bowl-O-Rama,” “Nightmare Sisters,” “Dr. Alien,” “Beach Babes from Beyond,” “Test Tube Teens from the Year 2000,” and several sequels to “The Puppetmaster.”
In recent years, he returned to his first love, making soft-core gay porn often with a veneer of genre film of one sort or another — movies about a coven of male witches who just happen to shower together a lot and hang out in just their underpants for long midday rest periods, for example. Even more recently, he has started a practice that I find rather despicable. He has hired former stars, usually women, of sexy genre and exploitation films — Kristine DeBell, the Bauer-Quigley-Stevens trio of “Scream Queens,” Helene Udy (“Pick-Up Summer,” “My Bloody Valentine,” etc.), Monique Parent, Cynthia Rothrock, etc — filmed what amount to cameo appearances or framing shots of them, and then tacked those scenes onto a film consisting mainly of beefy hunks showering, resting provocatively in their briefs, and otherwise displaying their manly physiques. This would make very bad films, but be a legitimate way to appeal to whatever gay men and straight women enjoy very mild, dull soft core.
What makes DeCoteau’s recent output (including most if not all of the 1313 movies — a series of 13 such videos rushed out [along with several other “movies”] in 2011-2012) is that the former exploitation favorites are featured in box art and copy and other advertisement as if they were the stars of these films, and their character as beefcake very-soft-core videos is often hidden. From the IMDB reviews, a large number of the buyers of DeCoteau’s post-2000 work seem to be people who thought they were getting a Sci-Fi / Western / Martial Arts / Sexploitation / etc., comeback movie from the women featured prominently in the descriptions rather than lengthy, slow-moving sequence after sequence of the hairless, muscular forms long favored in much gay porn and body-building.
