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…
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!
Jason Lei Howden takes the premise of "Evil Dead" and the heavy metal of that film literally, while the possession is no longer confined to a cabin in the middle of the woods but an entire town.
The overly stylized editing, especially at the beginning, was too much and didn't fit perfectly with the heavy metal tone the movie aims for, feeling a little poppy for my taste. But once the demon summoning takes place, the film picks up steam and becomes more interesting, gory and violently funny. The satanic group that serve as antagonists work very well, with the all actors capturing the evilness but also campy tone - plus that beheading scene at the beginning was hysterical. The…
you’re not allowed to call yourself metal unless you've killed demons with giant sex toys
I know you hate when I do this.
Braindead meets This Is Spinal Tap meets The Breakfast Club.
Sorry.
HEAVY METAL UP THE BUTTHOLE. A diabolical and delightful Kiwi heavy metal splatterfest! A death metal garage band, some satanic sheets of music, an evil cult, demonic summoning and possession, gnarly gore and dismemberment, buckets of blood, bountiful bunches of bodily harm, chainsaws, dildos, swords, axes, a souped-up guitar and weed whacker, a teenage romance, a teenage bromance, solid acting, great practical & CG effects and a hilarious script, make up this crowd-pleasing and demoniacal Evil Dead-inspired riff. Was gonna mention that I cannot wait to see what director Jason Lei Howden does next but after a quick IMDB dig, I discovered that he was the one who helmed that godawful Guns Akimbo with Danny Radcliffe & Samara Weaving, so the less…
Why the fuck did I leave this movie sitting there for 5 months?
This was fucking great. Evil Deadesque gore and humour. Loved every second of it.
Super psyched for the sequel now!!
