One film that I’ve been trying to see for the last year or so but keep alluding me is the Kiwi horror-comedy Deathgasm, written and directed by Jason Lei Howden. Dark Sky Films released a new trailer for the film, and now I’m more excited than before to check this one out, which revolves around a group of heavy metal dorks who unwittingly summon an ancient evil into the world.
Deathgasm opens in limited released and on VOD platforms October 2nd.
High School is Hell! Metal-thrashing Brodie is an outcast in a sea of jocks and cheerleaders until he meets a kindred spirit in fellow metalhead Zakk. After starting their own band, Brodie and Zakk’s resentment of the suburban wasteland leads them to a mysterious piece of sheet music said to grant Ultimate Power to whoever plays it. But the music also summons an ancient evil entity known as Aeloth The Blind One, who threatens to tear apart existence itself. Their classmates and family become inhabited by demonic forces, tearing out their own eyes and turning into psychotic murderers… and this is only the beginning! It’s up to Brodie, Zakk and their group of friends to stop a force of pure evil from devouring all of mankind.
