About this movie

Based on a ripped-from-the-headlines true story, King Cobra is a deliciously dark, twisted plunge into the behind-the-scenes world of the gay pornography industry. It's 2006, YouTube is in its infancy, and internet porn is still behind a paywall. Taking the stage name Brent Corrigan, a fresh-faced, wannabe adult video performer (Garrett Clayton) is molded into a star by Stephen (Christian Slater), a closeted gay porn mogul who runs the skin flick empire Cobra Video from his seemingly ordinary suburban home. But as Brent's rise and demands for more money put him at odds with his boss, he also attracts the attention of a rival producer (James Franco) and his unstable lover (Keegan Allen) who will stop at nothing to squash Cobra Video and steal its number one star. Co-starring Alicia Silverstone and Molly Ringwald, King Cobra is part delirious, tabloid-shocker satire, part American tragedy.

I thoroughly enjoyed this film. It definitely pushes the envelope by not pulling punches with what is shown. The filmmakers are fearless in that right. James Franco, Christian Slater, and Garrett Clayton are fully committed and go all in for their performances and it pays off. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
