Manages to both avoid tropes and honor expectations of horror-comedies to make for and energetic and surprising entry into the annals of the subgenre.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 20, 2023

A super charming flick about metalheads which is something that you don't expect... really cool and clever.

| Original Score: 7/10 | May 11, 2021

The demonic heavy metal horror movie you've been waiting for.

| Original Score: A | Jul 5, 2020

All the blood, gore, metal, and violence one can want in one place. Deathgasm is one of those movies you'll want to own to run as background during parties.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Apr 19, 2020

Deathgasm is a comedy horror that is actually funny!

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Aug 30, 2018

[Director] Lei Howden's first film is a tribute to the classics of the genre. [Full review in Spanish]

A pretty crazy film that ends up being a failed mix of ideas that never know how to deal with all of its excesses. [Full review in Spanish]

"Deathgasm" is perhaps too busy for its own good and not always seamlessly plotted but the movie's infectious sensibilities are hard to deny.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jan 7, 2016

Deathgasm is gloriously low-brow, yet insightful (such a fine line to walk and yet, Jason Lei Howden makes it look easy here), and the comedic strokes throughout the script are absolute gold.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Jan 6, 2016

Howden can be hugely entertaining when he mixes some brains and heart in with the guts and gore, which is about half the time - mostly, the first half.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 6, 2015

An unhinged horror comedy ...

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Oct 22, 2015

It's the rare over-the-top horror show that's also brimming with heart. Even if that heart is being ripped from somebody's chest.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 8, 2015

Deathgasm drips with classic splatter film goodness. If you're on board, then the little issues won't detract from this darkly fun, unique little film.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Oct 7, 2015

With its localized demonic outbreak, Deathgasm plays a bit like Demons or Evil Dead, but with the energetic, lighthearted appeal (and splattery gore) of Dead Alive and the clueless fanboy heroism of Wayne's World or even Beavis and Butthead.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 2, 2015

The director and his stars commit to the insanity of their project.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Oct 2, 2015

In between the rampant four-letter words and the occasional partial nudity are likable attempts at humor - some sweet, some saucy.

| Oct 1, 2015

A brew that aims for a campy, midnight-movie vibe it never quite achieves.

| Original Score: C | Oct 1, 2015

Deathgasm isn't just for lovers of metal and horror enthusiasts-it's a movie made for any misunderstood loners.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Oct 1, 2015

Deathgasm combines the visual flair of Edgar Wright's Scott Pilgrim vs. the World with the manic, gory energy of Sam Raimi's Evil Dead 2. In the horror-comedy pantheon, this movie most definitely rocks hard.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Oct 1, 2015

The gross hordes of undead spew humours and inner organs all over the screen in outstandingly nauseating ways.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 1, 2015
