Admirable film.

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

I loved this movie! A light-hearted, gore-fest for metal heads! Solid script and story, excellent effects, funny, just a little scary- perfect for the genre.If you do not like Metal (and ok, Im trying not to judge and failing) dont even bother. This movie was not made for you so dont waste your time watching it, or ours by writing a pitiful review afterwards.

After moving to a quiet small-town, a metal-loving teen and his new bandmates inadvertently release a series of Satanic demons after taking a passage from a book on devil-worshipping to use in their lyrics and must use their arcane knowledge of the black arts from the music to stop them.This was nothing short of an absolute blast. Among the many numerous enjoyable qualities with this one is the just utter love and respect given to the metal genre throughout here. Not only does it get a lot of the behavioral qualities and characteristics about the fans down completely, but it manages to get the genres' different quirks and eccentricities pretty consistent as well with the use of arcane lore and different symbolism involved with the genre that gets mentioned not only in the dialog but so many other areas of the film. Since that ties into how the demons are released with the song and their plan to finally reverse the whole process which all comes from the music itself, there's a plenty of heavy metal fun to be had within here. As well, there's also the really enjoyable comedy to be found which is nearly gut-busting not only in their interactions with each other but also the general situation that's being unleashed here. From brief little interludes that feature plenty of laughs to their snarky comments to each other and the truly enjoyable moment where the corpse-paint-bedecked kid and the bright cheerleader-style normal girl are sitting on a park bench in the middle of the day eating ice-cream together discussing the genre creates an utterly memorable image as well as being genuinely hilarious. Still, the fact that as a true horror film this one provides plenty to like here with the fun and enjoyable tale here with the demon infestation slowly taking over the town and providing this with plenty of ferocious action throughout here with the townspeople slowly coming into the realization of what's happening. The brief spurts showing the crazed demons in the town makes for some stellar moments here, and with high-energy sequences here from the battle with the possessed parents using their secret sex-toys to the dismemberments of the townspeople out in the street while fleeing to safety all giving this one great make-up work on the demons, tons of ingenuity with their homemade weapons and a smattering of bloody gore there are plenty of reasons to love this one. The one downfall is that the relationships within the band don't seem realistic, but it's a minor inconsequential quibble.Rated Unrated/R: Extreme Graphic Language, Extreme Graphic Violence, Nudity and minor drug use.

It has some good effects. the humor can be enjoyable if you get drunk or stay awake for a few days with some friends. Other than that this movie doesn't have much going for it. The characters aren't very interesting, I feel like I have seen all of these characters before in several different movies. The plot is so strange. After watching the movie I didn't know if it was supposed to be a parody, regular horror film with dark juvenile humor, or a christian film trying to tell it's viewers that metal is bad.

Why must every horror film have humour? Why is this a must? I see people here praise the humour, but sheep aside why is this a must? Does every action movie have gore? Must every thriller have a musical segment?Deathgasm is the typical film that makes fun of metal music too inclusive of drugged out mother, troubled teenager, outcast, bullied, et cetra.. in this case this very extreme metal band has music that is softer than a gospel chant, a keyboard player and nerdy members.Whatever... the girl is the coolest but how did she all of a sudden out of nowhere become infatuated with the nerd metal guy? How did the gang's boss get killed suddenly and his henchmen switch allegiance? Why was this music magical and where did it come from? how? What? Explain? No, nothing metal band with keyboards and .... This is what people praise as a good film nowadays. No wonder Jar Jar Abrams is considered a director by some people... the world is stupid.
