That is what it is about

Brodie is new at the school and has to deal with the usual quarrels, and as a metalhead he is also a blatant outsider. When he tries to land with the school beauty, it's finally the end of the fun. But luckily there is still his band DEATHGASM... with whom he records an ancient demonic hymn and thus plunges the world into ruin. There's only one thing left to do: to finish off the possessed with chainsaws, guns, dildos, lawnmowers or the ultimate riff.

What you should know

Metal is the source of all evil: evil dwells in it and the same is born from it. Or maybe not? This splatter comedy takes no prisoners and slams its audience so hard in every respect that it's a real pleasure. Thus bizarre subcultural prejudices alternate with the crudest splatter interludes that make one thing clear: DEATHGASM is the only legitimate successor to BAD TASTE and BRAINDEAD and definitely the fun grenade of the year!

Direction

Once again it proves true that the genius is often in the first works of young horror directors. Jason Lei Howden, however, also has a fair amount of know-how under his belt and can look back on visual effects experience for PROMETHEUS and THE HOBBIT, among others. That all sounds good, but what he serves up with his debut has to be categorised as "grandiose"... and will put a big smile on the faces of horror fans, metalheads and critics alike.
