Heavy Metal Horror ‘Deathgasm’ Gushes With Bodily Fluids! (Exclusive)
Hailing out of New Zealand, and from the people behind Stake Land, Late Phases, Starry Eyes, The Innkeepers, House of the Devil (MPI/Dark Sky), ABCs of Death and Housebound (Ant Timpson), comes a rockin’ new horror comedy that’s going to blow your collective minds.
Bloody Disgusting caught an early first look at the sales promo and a clip from Jason Lei Howden’s Deathgasm, a heavy metal horror movie that stars Milo Cawthorne, James Blake and Kimberley Crossman.
Starting with the clip, imagine Evil Dead 2, only Ash beats the deadites to death with a giant double-sided dildo before ripping the cord on a chainsaw to deliver a bloody final blow! Yeah, it’s that insane. But that’s nothing compared to the sales promo, which rains blood to tunes similar to old school Megadeth. The above image is deceiving, and actually hilarious considering the absolute bonkers movie that awaits. Deathgasm is the horror film to watch for in 2015 – all hail Baphomet!
“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… It’s up to Brodie, Zakk and their group of friends to stop a force of pure evil from devouring all of mankind.”
Produced in association with the New Zealand Film Commission and MPI Media Group, Deathgasm is said to satisfy metalheads and splatter fans alike as it will gush bodily fluids, rain limbs and tickle your funny bone, before tearing it out and giving you a stiff beating with it.
A gnarly infection threatens to claw its way out of a moving camper in the first trailer for Shudder’s claustrophobic Hellcat.
The feature debut of writer/editor/director Brock Bodell, who previously edited the Fantasia title Ultrasound, makes its debut on Shudder on August 14.
In Hellcat, “Lena wakes up in a moving camper trailer with a horrifying wound. She’s warned by the driver that they have one hour to get to a doctor, or she’ll succumb to an unimaginably awful fate. As the pain sets in and reality begins to fray, who should really be afraid?”
Dakota Gorman (Natural Disasters) leads the cast that also includes Todd Terry (“Breaking Bad”), Liz Atwater (The Other People), Jordan Mullins (The Bikeriders), and James Austin Johnson (“Saturday Night Live”) in a voice role. Bodell also produces alongside Andrew Duensing and Nate Eggert.
Hellcat made its world premiere last summer at Fantasia. I wrote in my review, “Hellcat is a bit of a Trojan horror that defies easy classification, by design. Bodell’s sneaky debut feature is occasionally too sparse in its worldbuilding in its bid to preserve the mystery, but not enough to detract from the thrilling road thriller that transforms into a completely left-field type of horror we don’t get nearly enough of. The stripped-down tribute to a classic horror staple catches you off guard in more ways than one, marking Bodell as one to watch.”
In other words, there’s a lot more than meets the eye to Hellcat‘s simple infection setup, delivering plenty of surprises along its bumpy road of horrors.
Check out the trailer and poster below and add Hellcat to your watchlists asap.
