Deathgasm II: Goremageddon
Part of Nacht der 1000 Messer
Brodie has done it again! Ten years after plunging his high school into demonic mayhem, he resurrects his friends Zakk and Dion via an unholy spell collection, so they can help him win a metal band competition and win back his girlfriend Medina. Their ravenous appetite for viscera, however, is as hard for Brodie to control as the other problems amassing around him. In this gory comedy sequel—featuring a cameo by Trivium frontman Matt Heafy—everything that can possibly splatter, splatters. Peppered with punchlines and metahumor, the movie culminates in what may be the most explosive battle of the bands since Scott Pilgrim vs. the World. May we all finally be saved—by the sickest solo of all times! (Thomas Taborsky)
