Gay Dallas filmmaker Israel Luna is sick of reading about LGBT bashing victims. So he made a film about several of them who eschew the victim card — and fight back. Because he's worked closely with the local trans community, he cast actual transwomen as his leads. And because he's a fan of horror, he gave them knives and a revenge story that's as over-the-top as its name, Ticked-Off ->-bleeped-<-s With Knives. Let's get bloody.

We know the film premieres Feb. 3, but less certain is whether his comedic horror treatment of real-world violence truly empowers transfolk or merely relegates them back into the freakshow.
