The glory hole time portal: DIY cinema at its most unhinged.

Best for:Solo: Late night, slightly unhinged, questioning your streaming choices.·Rewatch: To catch which plot points you hallucinated vs. actually happened.
Heads up:Sexual Content: Prominent glory hole imagery; queer sexuality as central plot mechanism.·Disturbing: Parental grief manifests in increasingly unhinged scientific violation.

Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Cultural

Oxalis is a cult curiosity in queer indie horror circles, celebrated for treating gay sexuality as plot infrastructure rather than subtext or punchline.

Trivia

The entire film was shot in 12 days on a reported $25,000 budget; the time portal was literally a modified bathroom fixture from a demolished hotel.
