Suck (2009)

Sorry, this movie sucks

One of my all time favorites.

Fantastic!

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

After ten years on the road without success, rock band The Winners are on the verge of splitting up. Their luck changes, however, after Jennifer (Jessica Paré), the band's sexy female vocalist, falls victim to a vampire and becomes a member of the undead, drawing in the crowds with her supernatural stage presence. Pretty soon, the other members of the band are joining the ranks of the undead in their bid for fame and fortune.It's a brave move to call your movie Suck, such a title inviting the obvious derogatory comment from those who don't quite appreciate your vision. Thankfully, Rob Stefaniuk's offbeat musical vampire road movie should avoid such harsh criticism from the majority of viewers: although it doesn't quite achieve the cult brilliance it so clearly strives for and some of the comedy falls flat, the fun cast (which includes rock stars Alice Cooper, Iggy Pop, Henry Rollins and Moby) and some surprisingly good songs make this moderately entertaining for the duration.

star-writer-songwriter-director Rob Stefaniuk's comedy horror about vampires and a music band coming together in a clash of mockery and rock and roll. The plot partly derived from Bram Stoker's Dracula. When bass player Jennifer (appropriately pale Jessica Paré) turns into a vampire after bitten by one it actually transforms a lousy band into a popular act due to her sudden seductive outlook and musical prowess. The group soon discovers the truth about her. They make a pact with Jennifer to stop murdering folks for blood and not to harm either of them. But the temptation of hunger is nothing compared to her band members desperation for success. Hot on their musical tours is Eddie Van Helsing (Malcolm McDowell) tracking down the leader of Nosferatu. Surprisingly appealing songs (sung by the characters themselves) & cameos by some of hard rock's luminaries includes Alice Cooper & Iggy Pop (Victor) saves the Canadian cheapie from mediocrity. Maybe the Punk-Goth-rock fans will appreciate it more. Try to spot references to famous musical montages and albums covers.

After Reading the reviews thus far I have heard acclaim for Malcolm that are really the biggest mistake I found in the list. McDowell's Lackluster acting is the only real downer of this gem. The action in the movie is meant to be slow from the start, the band suffers what most bands do. They can't find a fan base and can't build their desires to make that happen, that is until Dimitri shows up and makes a mountain out of a mole hill. "Jennifer" starts off as a new vampire with needs. She needs blood and she needs to hide the bodies. "Hugo" Serves up a nice "Renfield" moment or two, and then things start to come together for the band. Their Sleaze-ball Manager leaves them high and dry, and the hunger for blood builds a relationship that had failed once before.There is soft humor with great goth metal and some nerd core, and some slapstick. There is nothing lacking in the story and it grows well and blooms into a full on feast of funny. Mostly punctuated with great roles filled with some of the best rockers and rollers. I mean how often do you get to satisfyingly smirk at the death of Moby or Henry Rollins? Don't pass this up cult movie fans! This is a must see and remember for life's little special rules. "Always wear a condom, and never trust a vampire."

I was looking forward to watching this film as i have enjoyed watching other vampire spoof films. However the film had an exceptionally slow start and didn't really speed up even towards the end. The film was billed as a comedy and watching only found 3 or 4 lines in the entire film remotely funny. The best thing about the film is the cast. Some of the music stars really helped me continue watching, as i wanted to see who else would be in the film. The best thing about this film is that it really lives up to its title this film really "Sucks". It was 91mins of my life i will never get back. This however is just my opinion, and know of people who have actually enjoyed it. So i would say watch it. But don't buy it rent it as once will be enough.
