Deathgasm Reviews
Eu particularmente não sou fã de trash, mas tenho que admitir que esse filme é muito bom. Além de ser divertido e ter humor, ele também coloca o metal em cena, trazendo até algumas piadas com referências. É legal a forma que eles conseguem juntar metal com terror. O gore é realista, o humor suaviza as cenas, e é um filme bem adolescente. Gosto desse conceito.
Brodie muda para a cidade do seu tio, depois que sua mãe é internada em um hospício. Lá ele passa a ser rechaçado pelos tios e sofre bullying no colégio por parte do primo, por gostar de heavy metal. Ele acaba fazendo amizade com Zakk, um cara que quer mais que tudo se exploda. Assim, ele formam uma banda de rock: a Deathgasm. Tudo começa a mudar quando eles invadem a casa onde mora um cantor de heavy metal que está afastado do show business. Lá eles encontram uma partitura antiga e decidem transformá-la em uma das músicas da banda. O que eles não sabem é que esta partitura serve para convocar um terrível demônio. Temos aqui uma boa mistura de terror e humor, que será bem mais apreciada por quem conhece heavy metal e suas inúmeras ramificações e denominações, inclusive a trilha sonora são de várias bandas dos gêneros mais pesados desta vertente. O elenco é muito bom, principalmente o mais jovem, que carrega o filme e passa a sinceridade necessária para acreditarmos. O humor é bem variado, indo de um escatológico, até um mais inteligente. O filme abusa das cenas de sangue e gore, com um excelente trabalho de maquiagem e efeitos visuais práticos. Aumenta o som!
I love this film. It's story and humor is uniquely hilarious, dark, and bloody. A bunch of misfits save the world and become better for it. What else could you want?
As a lifelong fan of heavy metal, Deathgasm spoke to me on a somewhat personal level. The writer/director Jsaon Lei Howden has said that his taste in music made him something of an outsider at school, something I also experienced to a certain extent. The film is unabashed in its adoration for the genre, but it isn't above taking a few sly digs at it, such as highlighting the ridiculous number of subgenres, or the fact that the more extreme metal bands have such outlandish and incendiary names. But it all comes from a place of love and admiration, and the lead's position as an outcast make total sense, and provides the films emotional centre, as does his relationship with girlfriend Medina, a woman who is sceptical about heavy metal music but not adverse to the idea of listening to it, an attitude that provides her character arc. The blood and gore levels are cranked, quite literally, up to 11, but since its played for comic effect we don't have to pretend to take it seriously, so we can just laugh at the absurdity of the dismemberment, decapitation and some of the more ‘unique' kills the film has to offer. It might come across as silly and gratuitous to many, but for me it was a film with a lot of heart, a great soundtrack and an undeniable sense of fun.
Just plain fun. Tropes abound but are delivered with deliciously self-aware style. Solid if not remarkable performances drive a stupendously silly premise executed with obvious delight. Plenty of over-the-top gore, buckets of blood, geeky teenage angst, dripping irony, and plenty of laugh out loud moments. This crew really got the most of their budget, and obviously had a great time doing it.
So i just watched deathgasm and it was so fucking awesome but for me as a metalhead it was just even more awesome go watch if you love horror movies and metal
While this movie had some good gore it sadly had little else. If all you care about in horror is gore you'll love this, but if you want good characters or plot then you can skip this.
Zakk is really what makes this movie so good. This movie is ridiculous but so fun to watch. It's very gory. There's a lot of crud humor but I would watch it again.
A great horror comedy for metal heads and horror fans.
If you are a hard core horror fan and love metal then you'll love this film. It's the best horror comedy I've seen in years.
Solid horror comedy with tons on great visuals and gore. Hollywood can learn a lot from this indie gem.
DETHGASM doesn't elevate itself any higher than its title and that's a great thing. This is a bad movie but it's fun, brutal and when it talks about a song of evil, it has a song. The movie is hacky fun with plotholes to drive a truck through, though I doubt show creators cared. In a way, that one star is a complement and frankly, I hope I can find more movies like this.
Grindhouse + Metal = Deathgasm.
I really wasn’t expecting much from this movie. I was totally wrong! This is an instant cult classic. Bevis and Butthead start the apocalypse!
Started off strong . I hate discrediting low budget films because I know the effects are tough to do under circumstances . But the zombie demons just seemed a bit cheap and I’m sure if they had more money my score would be much higher 2.4
I loved this movie in every way possible. It has a great soundtrack, a great ambience, a good story... There is only one thing didn't like about it, the romance was badly resolved in the end. But ok, maybe just shoudn't have been, haha.
Horror movies and heavy metal. Ever since guitars went electric it's been a match made in... well, it's been a perfect match. The same goes for horror/comedies and New Zealand.dg-poster From the 3.8 minutes that I spent thinking about it, I'm pretty sure if you want a guaranteed winner of a horror/comedy you have to ask a Kiwi to make it. What We Do In The Shadows (2014), Housebound (2014), Black Sheep (2006), The Frighteners (1996); it's as if New Zealand is covered in viscera, but everyone's laughing. Revisiting writer/director Jason Lei Howden's debut feature-length splatterfest was just as much fun as when I saw it the first time. It starts with a bit of narration by our main character, Brodie [Milo Cawthorne; 온라인카지노추천's Power Rangers R.P.M. (2009)], a high school student who's been forced to live with his highly religious aunt and uncle on account of his mum being tossed into a mental hospital as a meth addict and shopping mall Santa fondler. No one's particularly happy with the living arrangement. Least of all his jock cousin, David [Nick Hoskins-Smith; The Brokenwood Mysteries (2014)], who bullies Brodie and his friends at every opportunity. The worst of it is that David is also dating Medina [Kimberley Crossman; 온라인카지노추천's Power Rangers Samurai (2012), The 60 Yard Line (2017)], Brodie's high school crush. Dion [Sam Berkley] and Giles [Daniel Cresswell; 3 Mile Limit (2014)] are Dungeons & Dragons nerds and pretty much Brodie's only friends until he meets Zakk [James Blake] at the local record store. Zakk is just as much of a metal head as Brodie and the two become fast friends. Zakk is also an instigator of chaos pushing Brodie into pranks like mixing up a batch of "napalm" and burning HAIL SATIN into the lawn at their school. Needless to say, neither one of them is bucking for valedictorian at graduation. Obviously, since any self-respecting metal fan can "play" an instrument, the quartet form a band with Zakk on vocals. Equally as obvious, the first thing you do as a new band is come up with a name. Thus and therefore, DETHGASM ("All in caps because lower case is for pussies"). Zakk also takes Brodie out to break into a house that supposedly belongs to Rikki Daggers [Stephen Ure; 온라인카지노추천's Ash vs Evil Dead (2016) and almost everything involving Hobbits], the retired lead singer of the boys' favorite band, Haxan Sword. Surprise, surprise, it is Rikki Daggers' house and he's actually home, passed out on his couch clutching one of his band's records. Ultimately, Zakk and Brodie wind up with the album and discover some ancient sheet music stuffed into the album cover for something called "The Black Hymn". As things progress, "The Black Hymn" turns out to be a musical ritual for summoning the King of Demons and, after a particularly bad day at school, Brodie decides it would be a good idea for DETHGASM to play it. The consequences are splatteriffic and goreful. People all over town are possessed by demons and begin indiscriminately killing the non-possessed. In an homage to Evil Dead 2 (1987), weapons are crafted and demons are fought by the DETHGASM crue. Can the metal heads stop the ascension of the King of Demons? Is it considered "Rob Halford style" to play a song backwards? Are sex toys effective tools for battling evil? You seriously need to go watch this movie to find out. This is very much not a gateway horror film. While it is a comedy, the filmmakers spent a large percentage of their budget on fake blood and butcher shop leavings. As in, it's very funny -- especially if you ever went through a metal phase (or are still in one) -- and the humor is quick, smart, and well-timed. However, it's also an intestine stomping, heads split with an axe, death by engine block festival of gore. They did opt to emphasize some of the effects with extra CGI goopiness, but the majority of the effects and make-up are all good ol' fashioned practical movie magic. A truly impressive feat for a low-budget film with so many special effects. Low-budget though it may be, the actors put their hearts and souls into this film. Literally, in some cases. There might not be any Oscar winners here, but that's not the point. Every single one of the primary actors had excellent comedic timing and did a great job. Supporting them behind the camera was cinematographer, Simon Raby, who's been working at that job as well as Director of Photography since 1990 -- including the Lord of the Rings trilogy -- and was able to bring all kinds of fun shots, perspectives, and angles to Deathgasm. Wrap the whole sloppy mess in a suitably metal soundtrack and you've got another nearly perfect horror/comedy courtesy of the Kiwis. I don't tack this many stars on a movie's rating lightly. If you're a fan of the Evil Dead series or just enjoy New Zealand accents and don't mind an occasional disembowelment, this is a must-see. Metal forever. Robert Zilbauer https://scariesthings.com
Deathgasm is certain not to appeal to everyone and I don't think most non-metalheads would really enjoy it. But it does boast some solid characters and good practical effects for a low budget indie flick. I guess if you've ever wanted a hybrid of Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure and Evil Dead you'll enjoy Deathgasm
