Hindi Deathgasm

Hindi Deathgasm

Two teenage boys unwittingly summon an ancient evil entity known as The Blind One by delving into black magic while trying to escape their mundane lives.
During the last 2 years, New Zealand has brought us three very competent horror films with very different styles, but with the common characteristic of an intense love for the genre. Or maybe, it was Peter Jackson's spirit (in life) what inspired these movies. Whatever the way it was, it's very appreciated. The films are Housebound, What We Do in the Shadows and Deathgasm; the latter is a very amusing horror comedy, despite some small narrative problems and occasional structural hesitations. Deathgasm is the first movie from director Jason Lei Howden, and even though I really enjoyed his overflowing energy and relentless enthusiasm, I could occasionally notice his incapacity to facilitate the natural flow of some scenes or eliminate moments which don't make a substantial contribution to the narrative. On the other hand, Howden has wide experience as a special effects artist in WETA Digital, something which guarantees an efficient balance of techniques when building exaggerated sequences which bathe the screen in blood. The characters are well written, and the cast knows when to take the drama seriously, and when to become accomplices of the joke. So, in summary, Deathgasm isn't a great film, but it's definitely an amusing experience which deserves a recommendation to those who like horror, comedy and, of course, heavy metal in its multiple subdivisions and ideological tendencies.
A group of small town misfits form a heavy metal band and unwittingly unleash a demon through their music. Fantastic combination of horror, comedy, gore and heavy metal from first time New Zealand writer and director Jason Lei Howden. His passion for both horror and metal help make this such an enjoyable movie. Good acting & special effects, which provide gore by the bucket load, my only quibble was that I had a job at times to understand what was being said by some of the possessed. Overall a great, fun ride. And watch out for the post credits scene.
A dopey splatterfest that features one-dimensional characters and a draggy first act that’s eventually won over by creatively immature gross-outs and absurd violence.
