Sometimes horror movie can benefit from delicate and refined presentation, but don't tell that to Deathgasm. It will throw severed limbs at you, the rest of the bodies along with it and an extra pint of blood for good measure. This is definitely not for the fainthearted, although there's admittedly some good comedic moments, but they are spread across marathon of slaughter.
The film moves at strikingly fast pace, but it doesn't tell the narrative well. Plot isn't that deep, it's a mix of new guy in town formula with heavy tone of death metal. Occasionally characters and subplots would be introduced haphazardly only join the orgy of blood. This is more of a general line to very brutal carnage than structured pathing, most of which barely make any sense anyway so it just has fun with it.
Its production, beneath all the chaos, is actually pretty well done. Make-up and practical effect are very gory as the intended effect, and they create it with exaggerated volume. There are also some clever lines between brief rests of brutal showcasing, which proves that the movie has sophistication level to revel on the silly carnage premise.
However, this is a movie not for the timid audience. The jokes are filled with brash delivery as well as heavy emphasis genitalia exposure. There's no five minutes without excessive blood, profanity screaming or some random images of maggot, among other things. It's as though at some point, the crew opted for the most hardcore display they could fit on a feature film.
Deathgasm is as chaotic as it sound, albeit there's a merry mix of comedy and horror here. This is movie aimed towards a specific taste. I can understand the appeal of unhinged gore and I do enjoy this type of horror from time to time, but personally this is more bloodbath and phallus display than I can bear.
