Love the gore. Reminds me of Bad Taste, Brain Dead from Pete Jackson's early works.
As a metalhead and musician myself I wanted to see this when first heard about it because was supposed to be a comedy 'metal' horror. Sadly it just does as most metal band films and takes to piss out of metalheads by painting them as lonely loser idiots with zero sense and plays up to all the incorrect stereotypes. I was hoping that it would show metalheads in a better light but all It does is enforce the crap image most non metalheads think we are. I was hoping for a film that had cool likable leads that you could root for, these are pathetic cheesey imitations and not really likable at all. Especially that selfish idiot bass player. The director clearly doesn't have a grasp on metal or being in a band. But....... All that aside it's still a fun watch and has some funny good gore moments. Added to collection. It just could have been so much better.
