The film “Deathgasm” tells the story of young metalhead Brodie (Milo Cawthorne), whose life suddenly changes dramatically when his mother is committed to a psychiatric ward and he is forced to live with his religious uncle Albert and his family. As if that wasn’t enough, Brodie is also fighting for the attention of the beautiful Medina (Kimberley Crossman) against his chavvy cousin.
But then Brodie meets the rebellious Zakk (James Blake) and together they form the metal band DEATHGASM. With their striving schoolmates they rock brutal riffs in their spare time. But when they come across a mysterious sheet of music and play the so-called “Black Anthem”, the situation in the otherwise peaceful town gets completely out of control.
The music played turns the neighbours into bloodthirsty demons and opens a portal to hell through which the chief demon Aloth is about to arrive. Brodie and Zakk must now prepare for the demon’s arrival and take up the fight against the hell army.
The film features a successful mix of horror and comedy and is a must-see for all metal fans and horror film lovers. With its satirical and biting style, it makes fun of the clichés of the horror genre and the prejudices against metal music. The action and splatter scenes are bloody, but always staged with a wink. All in all, “Deathgasm” is an entertaining film that takes the viewer on a wild and bloody journey.
