Suck (2009)

Excellent, Without a doubt!!

Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

This black comedy is simply an utter delight. From the opening sequence to the hilarious climax, this film is will have audience laughing until they choke. The cast is masterful in their comedic timing and realizing their respective characters. The direction is brilliant and it's clear the man in charge has a spark for bringing a funny script to the screen. The hi jinx are completely off the wall as this rock band becomes successful after a member becomes a blood sucking vampire. There are many clever nods to famous rockers which really bring on the belly laughs big time. Overall, one of the funniest dark comedy efforts to be produced in the last decade. Malcom McDowel, Dave Foley, and Henry Rollins are only a few of the comedic geniuses who play a part in the cinematic shenanigans. The entire cast is tremendous in delivering some of the funniest lines ever written withing some of the most hilarious situations ever conceived.

star-writer-songwriter-director Rob Stefaniuk's comedy horror about vampires and a music band coming together in a clash of mockery and rock and roll. The plot partly derived from Bram Stoker's Dracula. When bass player Jennifer (appropriately pale Jessica Paré) turns into a vampire after bitten by one it actually transforms a lousy band into a popular act due to her sudden seductive outlook and musical prowess. The group soon discovers the truth about her. They make a pact with Jennifer to stop murdering folks for blood and not to harm either of them. But the temptation of hunger is nothing compared to her band members desperation for success. Hot on their musical tours is Eddie Van Helsing (Malcolm McDowell) tracking down the leader of Nosferatu. Surprisingly appealing songs (sung by the characters themselves) & cameos by some of hard rock's luminaries includes Alice Cooper & Iggy Pop (Victor) saves the Canadian cheapie from mediocrity. Maybe the Punk-Goth-rock fans will appreciate it more. Try to spot references to famous musical montages and albums covers.

After Reading the reviews thus far I have heard acclaim for Malcolm that are really the biggest mistake I found in the list. McDowell's Lackluster acting is the only real downer of this gem. The action in the movie is meant to be slow from the start, the band suffers what most bands do. They can't find a fan base and can't build their desires to make that happen, that is until Dimitri shows up and makes a mountain out of a mole hill. "Jennifer" starts off as a new vampire with needs. She needs blood and she needs to hide the bodies. "Hugo" Serves up a nice "Renfield" moment or two, and then things start to come together for the band. Their Sleaze-ball Manager leaves them high and dry, and the hunger for blood builds a relationship that had failed once before.There is soft humor with great goth metal and some nerd core, and some slapstick. There is nothing lacking in the story and it grows well and blooms into a full on feast of funny. Mostly punctuated with great roles filled with some of the best rockers and rollers. I mean how often do you get to satisfyingly smirk at the death of Moby or Henry Rollins? Don't pass this up cult movie fans! This is a must see and remember for life's little special rules. "Always wear a condom, and never trust a vampire."

I was looking forward to watching this film as i have enjoyed watching other vampire spoof films. However the film had an exceptionally slow start and didn't really speed up even towards the end. The film was billed as a comedy and watching only found 3 or 4 lines in the entire film remotely funny. The best thing about the film is the cast. Some of the music stars really helped me continue watching, as i wanted to see who else would be in the film. The best thing about this film is that it really lives up to its title this film really "Sucks". It was 91mins of my life i will never get back. This however is just my opinion, and know of people who have actually enjoyed it. So i would say watch it. But don't buy it rent it as once will be enough.
