Deathgasm (2015)

Too much of everything

Absolutely Fantastic

Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

I cannot believe I just discovered this gem! Buckets of gore? Zombies? References to cult horror films? Hot chicks? A soundtrack comprised of nothing but heavy metal songs? Sign me up! Deathgasm is one of the most badass and hilarious films I've seen in a long time but I'm very glad I eventually got around to seeing it. One thing I enjoyed a lot about the film was the fact that this film had REAL heavy metal. Most movies just use, like, AC/DC or Quiet Riot, thinking that pop crap is heavy metal. I remember that awful movie Rock Of Ages with Tom Cruise that was about bringing back heavy metal, but every single song used in the film was a radio pop glam rock song. If you're gonna do a film about 80's metal, talk about Slayer or Megadeth or Obituary or something, y'know, ACTUAL METAL, not Mr Big, Ratt, and Warrant. This film not only gets the metal soundtrack right, but goes above and beyond; we get grindcore, black metal, sludge metal, doom metal, progressive metal, and a bunch of really cool stuff. I don't think I've ever heard a true metal soundtrack like this in any film! The characters also reference metal nonstop, but again, they reference REAL metal and not radio pop tracks by Whitesnake. One character wears a Death shirt the entire film, and I don't think I've ever, EVER seen Death ever referenced in a movie before. Other bands like Cannibal Corpse, Terrorizer, Darkthrone, Edge Of Sanity, Deicide, Burzum, Opeth, Judas Priest, Slayer, Witchfinder General, Pestilence, Obituary, Evile, and countless more are referenced in the movie on shirts, posters, CD covers, or just through character conversation. They even reference An*l C*nt, freaking An*l C*nt of all bands! No stone went unturned in this film! So, this film could've been awful but I still would've given it a 10/10 just for getting the metal references right...but good thing this film is actually really good! The plot is a homage to films like Evil Dead 2 and Dead Alive, and several references to classic goresploitation horror films are made, which is also a treat. The gore is abundant and very well done, and one scene involving intestines actually genuinely grossed me out, which never happens to me nowadays! Most of all, I really enjoyed the characters and I related to Brody, the main character, in practically every way. I really wanted him to succeed the entire time. The film could've just been a good indie film about a group of nobody's forming a death metal band in their small town, but the film throws in satanism, zombies, the apocalypse, and a bunch of other really gory cool stuff to make this the perfect film for a nut like me! It's well directed, well written, well acted, has good special effects, a killer soundtrack, and is overall very well done. If you're a TRUE metalhead or gorehound, I recommend checking this gem ASAP!

The movie started off great, but the climax was well... not that great(kinda sucked, but not horrible). But can't complain, since it's a dark comedy intended to purely entertain and that part it does well. Overall, a pretty good dark comedy, that you'll enjoy even more if you are a metal lover(I am). Certainly worth watching.

During the last 2 years, New Zealand has brought us three very competent horror films with very different styles, but with the common characteristic of an intense love for the genre. Or maybe, it was Peter Jackson's spirit (in life) what inspired these movies. Whatever the way it was, it's very appreciated. The films are Housebound, What We Do in the Shadows and Deathgasm; the latter is a very amusing horror comedy, despite some small narrative problems and occasional structural hesitations. Deathgasm is the first movie from director Jason Lei Howden, and even though I really enjoyed his overflowing energy and relentless enthusiasm, I could occasionally notice his incapacity to facilitate the natural flow of some scenes or eliminate moments which don't make a substantial contribution to the narrative. On the other hand, Howden has wide experience as a special effects artist in WETA Digital, something which guarantees an efficient balance of techniques when building exaggerated sequences which bathe the screen in blood. The characters are well written, and the cast knows when to take the drama seriously, and when to become accomplices of the joke. So, in summary, Deathgasm isn't a great film, but it's definitely an amusing experience which deserves a recommendation to those who like horror, comedy and, of course, heavy metal in its multiple subdivisions and ideological tendencies.
