Summary: High School is Hell! 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 theHigh School is Hell! Metal-thrashing Brodie is an outcast in a sea of jocks and cheerleaders until he meets a kindred spirit in fellow metalhead Zakk.

But the music also summons an ancient evil entity known as Aeloth The Blind One, who threatens to tear apart existence itself.

Jason Lei Howden's directorial debut is primed for unalloyed genre thrills, making you laugh until your sides hurt and subverting the rom-zom-com format. Read full review

Noel Murray

Sep 30, 2015

First-time writer-director Jason Lei Howden (who has a day job working for Peter Jackson’s special effects house Weta Digital) has delivered something amiably silly, liberally splattered with human viscera, and scored to the punishing grind of electric guitars. Read full review

Deathgasm is a giddy avalanche of gore and heavy metal-drenched mayhem that takes itself not even a tiny bit seriously. Read full review

Marc Savlov

Oct 7, 2015

Peppered with clever, self-referential one-liners that whip by almost too fast to catch them, Deathgasm is – like most metalheads/punks/Morrissey fans – a helluva lot smarter than one might at first suspect. Read full review

Gorehounds need not worry that a movie called Deathgasm plays it safe. This is a defiantly, well, metal movie. Read full review

Director Jason Lei Howden has a flair for punchlines that are funny for reasons that are essentially impossible to describe. Read full review

Dennis Harvey

Sep 27, 2015

This amiably dumb feature debut for New Zealand writer-director Jason Lei Howden could have used some additional polish on the scripting side to bump its bad-taste humor up from the routinely to the inspirationally silly. Read full review

This movie was really cool, quite a low budget spectacle but cool. I cared about the general story and all of the characters which is a very valuable part of enjoying a film. Music is a great part of this movie and should be acknowledged greatly. Well done.

Bloody, gory movie meets teen death metal story meets typical awkward high school boy meets prettiest girl in school film. What a mash up! Guess if I was 50 years younger I would have given it a higher score.

Deathgasm is a funny movie and if you are metalhead you will like it. However, this film has many flaws: a bad script, a practically non-existent development of characters, a horrible action with bad shots and some very basic and clichéd special effects.

Listen, I am a horror fan, a metal fan, and a comedy fan. And this movie still didn't work for me. The comedy is pretty much all gross-out sex jokes (which is fine but this comes off just super immature and lame) and the characters aren't even really likable.

The comedy is pretty much all gross-out sex jokes (which is fine but this comes off just super immature and lame) and the characters aren't even really likable. I'm almost positive I didn't even laugh once. There are better stoner metal movies and better horror comedies out there. Don't waste your time.… Expand
