The Demon Apocalypse has arrived. We can thank the garage metal band, DEATHGASM, for accidentally summoning Aeloth The Blind One. Yup, you guessed it. All HELL is about to break loose. DEATHGASM is an import from New Zealand, and it's loaded with enough splatter, to make Takashi Miike, blush. Now, let's play that vinyl record. (Backwards of course!)
Holy, SplatterFuck! Can you say, gory fun? I'm not a hardcore metalhead, but I love to rock. DEATHGASM is all rock, and then some. It's balls-to-the-wall insane. It's mad homage to the Evil Dead franchise. DEATHGASM never takes itself seriously, and that's okay. It's demons, chainsaws, sex toys, bootleg music videos, gratuitous nudity, and lots and lots and lots and lots of…

This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

If I took anything away from Deathgasm, it's that women are still objects and films completely comprised of homages and nods to genres (whether they be horror or metal) fail to impress even those who pick up on most of the references.
Seeing as how I can't really figure out which aspect bothered me more, I'll start off complaining about the mixed bag of practical effects and CGI. The practical effects were alright, if repetitive and simple (mostly just streams of blood gushing out of mouths), but the CGI was awful. From animated flames to poorly digitized effects coupled with lousy editing, maybe it would have been less time consuming and more beneficial to tone it down slightly and just…

The most metal movie of all time. Posessed teachers spewing blood over students? Check. Bloody chainsaw battles? Check. A hilarious metal horror mashup that I can't wait to watch again!

Dear all 169 (Heehhehehe) of my follows; WATCH THIS MOVIE RIGHT NOW!!!!!!! I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU'RE DOING! DROP IT! GO TO ANY PLACE WHERE YOU CAN STREAM/RENT THIS MOVIE AND WATCH IT!
Films like "Deathgasm" are the reason why I put off doing my best of the year list until I've seen everything I wanted to see released last year. It's everything I don't just want out of a good horror movie, but a good comedy as well! This might very well be my favorite comedy of 2015.
Don't get me wrong, I loved "Spy" and "What We Do in the Shadows", but this is purely funny not just through great and well rounded characters and the witty quips…
Review by Ian West ★½ 7

When this first came out I saw it piss drunk with a bunch of friends celebrating another friend getting out of the hospital after recovering from getting harassed and beat up by a bunch of slack jawed nascar fans in the parking lot while picking up his grandmothers prescription and tbh before the movie was even over we were setting off fireworks and listening to ratatat so I can’t say my original “liking” of this movie had anything to do with the actual movie but more so with a great circle of friends moment.
This is all over my lb feed because of joe bob so I figured I’d pop it in and give it a fair shot since I more…

Frightfest 2015 Film # 12
Highly entertaining heavy metal horror movie made by a fan for the fans and destined to become a cult classic. Milo Cawthorne stars as Brodie a metal loving misfit who moves in with his bible bashing aunt and uncle after his mother dies. Hooking up with a few other unpopular kids they decide to form a metal band and unwittingly summon up the demon The Blind One, before long Brodie and his gang of friends must use any weapons that come to hand (from chainsaw's, weed whackers and even a massive dildo) to slay the demons and save the town.
This is a gruesome throwback to the 80's, it wears it's heart on it's sleeve…

This is the perfect movie.
Review by Stoneym17 ★★★★

This movie is really exactly what you want it to be, vulgar, funny and most importantly BRUTAL! It plays out like a coming of age film with the backdrop being Heavy metal and The occult, always a good combo. Solid acting, great action scenes, I think its biggest issue is that it's lacking in length and depth. But given the runtime it has and the budget it was filmed on I think it's incredibly impressive I look forward to this directors next work.

this film got me listening to metal again
Review by boogey_dude_man ★★★★

I always find it cringey how metalheads are portrayed in movies but nonetheless Deathgasm was a gore fest with total Evil Dead vibes. That’s enough to make very satisfied.
Review by Sunil ★★★★

I was excited for Guns Akimbo already but after watching Jason Lei Howden's debut film, I am even MORE excited for Guns Akimbo because Deathgasm was right up my goddamn alley. A horror-comedy about metalheads who play a song that summons demons to their quiet New Zealand town and at one point they fight demons with dildos sounds like it could be terrible but it's the opposite of that. This movie is cheeky as fuck, with just the right amount of silly self-awareness without winking at the audience. It lovingly mocks metal music and culture in the same way I do (if you're a metal fan who can't accept that metal bands have fucking ridiculous names, well...sorry). Even though it…

Basically a fun Kiwi version of Evil Dead. I swear some of the shots were copied directly from that series. The ending was weak, but there were enough great moments along the way to make this a very enjoyable film.
