aquascape Comedy Horrors are hard to take seriously in the means that most of them are spoofs, parodies or just plain silly. The New Zealand film industry has taken off quite a bit in recent years with the likes of Taika Waititi or James Napier Robertson, director Jason Lei Howden makes his own entrance within this new wave with his directorial debut "Deathgasm"."Deathgasm" is about Brodie, a heavy metal loving teenager who tries to cope with his new life after moving in with overly orthodox Christian uncle, since his mother had been institutionalized. His high school life is tough, being treated like an outcast and is more or less forced to befriend nerds. Shortly after they form a heavy metal band called "Deathgasm" and one of his new acquaintances tells him about a famous metal musician Rikki Daggers, who has been hiding from society in a nearby abandoned house. They search the place and find sheets of music hidden inside a record. Naturally, they go on and play the notes from the sheets with the whole band, unknowingly summoning an ancient evil called "The Blind one". At this point, the fun begins as they try to preventing the demon's resurrection.The premise is interesting by which I mean that you don't often see comedies revolving around heavy metal (and not emo) that are actually well-intended. The imaginative main character is someone that you could relate too, even for someone who doesn't necessarily enjoy that musical genre. The acting is alright, nothing too outstanding but enjoyable nonetheless.The movie is faced-paced with quick cuts and sleek filming style like Guy Ritchie or Paul Greengrass in "The Bourne Trilogy", topping it all off with the delightful New Zealand accent just makes it even greater.Some jokes and situations were witty and originals while others were just strange and immature, reminding me of "Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse"."Deathgasm" is more than a B-Horror film, it's actually part-entertaining part-quality and it must definitely not be overlooked by fans of the horror genre. "Deathgasm" works well when watched with a small group of friends.

Vijith Vk 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.

utahman1971 You think this is stupid and the worst, then you must love Troll 2 then. Dumb people should stay in their own group. Should never be invited to the party. Keep your dumb comments to yourself. This is better than what you call better than this. Almost all PG-13 are lame and tame to what real horror movies like this does.Stick with your teeny boppers and be that childish jerk off teenager lover of wanna be PG-13 horror movies that are more of a thriller that can't handle to be a rate R or unrated movie. So many lame people out there to put down better movies and say that better movies are trash, and the trash is what they watch instead, and they praise that instead.The real dummies come on this site to review movies and can't use grammar well, or even type like they are toddlers to give their own opinion of a movie. Stick to your trash and I will enjoy my better movies that you watch anytime. As for gore, it is the best gore movie out there. Anyone that can't handle should of never watched it in the first place. Dummies!Funny, this is one of the best mixed comedy and horror together. So kiss off! Just like the people that TCITW movie. Either love or hate movie, but way too many haters out there. Oh well, if I ever ran into someone that hated this kind of movie, they would never be talked to or recognized as a person at all. Unless, it is my family, then I can forgive them.People I do not at all, won't bother at all to even acknowledge. So keep to yourself. I actually love Metalcore but this is an awesome movie to watch. I love Dead Alive too. So just stick with tame, dummies.

jadavix "Deathgasm" is a future cult classic. It's funny, gory, sexy, and filled with references to actual extreme metal bands, rather than just made up names for shock value. The plot is to do with teenage metal fans who summon demons by singing lyrics they found in an insane metal fan's house. I was grateful that these creatures for once weren't zombies, though it's true that they don't behave that differently to that form of the undead.Our protagonist is bullied by his cousin, who is going out with the beautiful Medina, who of course soon falls for our hero. Why was she going out with the bully in the first place? Just once I'd like to see girls in this situation in movies behave as they do in real life. She's with the bully for a reason.The comparison is obviously going to made between this and Peter Jackson's "Braindead", and "Deathgasm", while highly entertaining, falls short. It's not as visually inventive as Jackson's classic, and didn't hold my attention for 100% of the time, but it's still probably the best horror movie of 2015.
