Man versus film
Hi, I'm Graham and welcome to man vs film this is going to be a movie review for deathgasm
this movie is directed by first-time director jason lei Howden who
did visual effects on some massive movies This movie stars Milo Cawthorne,
James Blake, Kimberly Crossman and Sam Berkley two teenage metalheads
unwittingly summon an ancient evil entity known as the blined one by
delving into black magic while trying to escape their mundane lives Deathgasm
is a horror comedy that follows in the footsteps of Evil Dead 2 and Dead Alive
full of blood and mutilations but done in that silly tongue-in-cheek way
the main character is brodie a young metalhead who is taken in by his
uncle and his smug cousin after the loss of his family being as metal as he is in
this small town can't help but stand out and get picked upon because he is
different
he managed to find someone else just like him Zakk another metal head in
this town and the two of them come together and decided to form a metal band because
what else are you going to do?
this is all done with the comedic stint to it and the music leads
towards horror at certain points but it's definitely more funny and just building
up the characters and the relationships of the main two characters of the movie
the horror comes in the form of a metal album an album that i only had six
hundred and sixty-six pressings and to so happen is that the guys discovered
that one of the main band members lives and their town so they decide to go out and visit him
break into the house and they steal what they think as a copy of the album
but it's not and inside that sleeve is sheet music that allows them to play the
music from the album
unfortunately for them as also a summoning spell to raise a demon from
the grave to possess the townsfolk and of course there's a girl involved
but there's got to be to give some friction between the two main characters
there's another two members of the band swell, outcast in the school and they are brought
in simply make up the number of the band and to be cannon fodder for
mutilations later on in the movie this movie has some fantastic over the top gore
people are decapitated, they lose limbs they're split right down the middle and
there is Buckets of blood it's literally covering the
screen and all the actors and the walls and everything else thats there
I mean seriously people explode with such ferocity that you can't help but be
satisfied by the lunacy of it the characters are fine and generally one
note but thats acceptable from the movie of what its and the humour really works as
well especially the black humour later on once the possessed
people start to a come after the band
there's a particular scene where brodie and Zakk have to take down this
couple who have been possessed with an array of sex toys which is only weapons
going at hand and it's ridiculous it's funny
it's silly and it just epitomises this movie. Like i said this movies got a
women to form of a love triangle between Broadie and Zakk in the middle
of the movie and you think is going to a certain place but it kind of goes there but at the same time
she's the most badass character in the movie she does the aforementioned
splitting someone in half with an axe and she can generally just handle herself
she's a great addition to the cast and not your typical storyline that you would
expect to see and these movies
the movie knows exactly what it is by being an horror/comedy and it
generally sticks to these strengths it's got silly gore
and sillier situations at other times that are just tongue in cheek funny
the plot isn't fully original where there's something that I've seen kind off
before in other guises and I could never really figure out the Laws of
the possession some people would turn
others wouldn't that doesn't seem to be any rules to it at all
overall I really enjoyed Deathgasm its a quick and fun watch the movie has a
fun side along with with loads of body parts and buckets of blood that can help
keep me entertained the entire run time I would definitely watch this again if
you're a fan of off-kilter horror comedies like Evil Dead 2, Army of Darkness, Dead
Alive you are going to love this thing it is very much in the vain of those movies
i'm going to give Deathgasm Three and a half out of five It's fantastic It's fun It's bloody
and it is silly and those are all good things in my book so thanks for
