Matthew Lickona San Diego Reader Howden can be hugely entertaining when he mixes some brains and heart in with the guts and gore, which is about half the time - mostly, the first half. Rated: 2/5 Nov 6, 2015 Full Review Soren Andersen Seattle Times An unhinged horror comedy ... Rated: 2.5/4 Oct 22, 2015 Full Review Marc Savlov Austin Chronicle It's the rare over-the-top horror show that's also brimming with heart. Even if that heart is being ripped from somebody's chest. Rated: 3/5 Oct 8, 2015 Full Review Patrick Cavanaugh The Wolfman Cometh Manages to both avoid tropes and honor expectations of horror-comedies to make for and energetic and surprising entry into the annals of the subgenre. Rated: 4/5 Sep 20, 2023 Full Review Emma Wolfe SpookyAstronauts A super charming flick about metalheads which is something that you don't expect... really cool and clever.

lavs d 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. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/24/24 Full Review Robson C 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! Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 07/14/24 Full Review Catelyn T 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? Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/12/24 Full Review Wayne K 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. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/29/23 Full Review Lagrange P 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. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/21/23 Full Review Thomas J 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 Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/13/23 Full Review Read all reviews
