Deathgasm (2015)

 

 Deathgasm is a 2015 New Zealand comedy horror film written and directed by Jason Lei Howden in his feature directorial debut. The film follows the title teenage heavy metal band who acquire an ancient piece of sheet music and unwittingly summon an evil entity known as "The Blind One".

Deathgasm premiered at South by Southwest on 14 March 2015, and was theatrically released in the United States on 2 October 2015 to positive reviews from critics.

After experiencing the death of his father and the institutionalization of his mother, teenager Brodie is forced to live with his Uncle Albert in Greypoint. However, Brodie's love for metal music clashes with Uncle Albert's strict Christian beliefs. To make matters worse, he faces constant bullying at school, particularly from his cousin David. Brodie's only solace comes from his geeky friends Dion and Giles.

Everything changes when Brodie meets another metal enthusiast named Zakk, and the two form a band called Deathgasm.
