Loosely based on the classic story of Sleeping Beauty, this irreverent gay fairy tale for modern audiences follows a man named Moses, whose frequent seizures are characterized by the appearance of Glintentica, a spurned Goddess planning her return to earth. Problems arise when Glintentica becomes determined to take over the soul of David, Moses' new love interest.
Practical Effects
Glintentica's bargain-bin goddess effects are unforgettable commitment.
Acting
Joe Schenck's seizure choreography deserves an honorable mention.
Writing
Four directors wrote this and it shows in the best worst way.
Director
Jeffrey Maccubbin
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Four credited directors split duties after original filmmaker Jeffrey Maccubbin expanded the project, resulting in a patchwork aesthetic that critics called 'enthusiastically incoherent.'
Released in 2007, SoulMaid arrived at a fascinating inflection point: post-Brokeback indie queer cinema but pre-mainstream streaming, when microbudget gay genre films still relied on festival circuits and word-of-mouth cult discovery.
