Lonesome metaller is exiled to respectable suburbia, where he unwittingly summons down a demon god when he plays the tune from Hell. Can he defeat the forces of evil with his new butter-wouldn't-melt girlfriend?
Starts off at ferocious pace, with the editing taken from Shaun Of The Dead + Bill And Ted. The lead actor plays it perfectly, and is well backed by the cast (apart from the cousin), and the gags are packed in. Best of the lot is the diesel and the ambulance.
But ... I checked my watch at about 45 mins. Hmmm. I think there's a point where the protagonist has to change, and it felt like something strange was going to happen when he looked in the mirror after being beat up. Instead, things change around him, and the story goes Buffy-zombie as it plays out in Wheedon/Scoobie-Doo style.
Plenty of real-effect gore, with some laughs - big set scene with sex toys - but just a bit yawny as the inevitable climax plays out. Not sure whether this is to it's credit, but the laid-pipe deus ex machina was dodged and, instead, used in the end credits for a gag.
Full of metal, but the mood music and horror sounds were tame and unimaginative.
Overall, skillful techniques with camera and editing, but not that engaging.
