Deathgasm II: Goremageddon (2025)

The first Deathgasm was an earnest attempt to capture the splatter comedy of Evil Dead II, Re-Animator and Dead Alive. 10 years later, the band reunites in this reanimated undead horror comedy. Everyone returns from the first film, and the carnage is turned up to 11. If you're a fan of the original, you'll likely be filling your shorts. For everyone else, this shit is way too scattershot and over the top. Contains the most genital mutilations I've ever seen in any film.

DEATHGASM [2015]

Deathgasm.  It's called Deathgasm.
We'll let that sink in for a moment.
WETA visual FX-head Jason Lei Howden's feature length directorial debut is the latest in a long line of ridiculous Kiwi splatterfests.
It's the touching story of a bunch of New Zealand teenage metalheads and D&D nerds who willingly summon a demon lord after they rock out on some ancient sheet music they stumbled upon.
If this sounds like a premise you can get on board with then you probably won't be disappointed.  It's reasonably funny, absurdly gory, has plenty of heavy metal & RPG jokes that only the average head-banger will understand and a guy in corpse paint enjoying an ice-cream cone.  If this doesn't sound like your thing, then you're most definitely correct.  It's the type of film that'll make your parents angry, have poor ol' granny a hobblin' for the hills and frighten the bully preppies at high school.
In short, if this movie came out when I was 17, I'd have built a shrine for it.

Yay for me for not once mentioning Braindead in this review.  :D
