The writer is not an actual heavy metal music fan and so tried to write a joke movie (you know Bill & ted),but of course has no talent so it turned out unfunny.

As for the music... well, don't quit your day job.

In Auckland, New Zealand, two metal heads discover a manuscript to summon the King of The Demons. Having done that, they then try to reverse it. While the music is metal, I must question their values as true metal heads. They dis Poison, while wearing KISS make-up. They summon a demon and then panic and try to get rid of the demon. What real metal heads would try to get rid of a demon and wear KISS style make-up?

The film has numerous comic elements as our "Brothers in Steel" have good one liners and situational dialogue. The effects ranged from good to a New Zealand Troma. The film makes fun of conservative Christians and most normal things.

Walmart sells the film ($9.96 US) under the title "Heavy Metal Apocalypse" because "Deathgasm" doesn't fit into their family image (?).

Fun film. Guide: F-bomb, implied sex, nudity.

The movie was recently released on Disc in America and they had to change the title for Walmart. A funny side note for some, but also an indicator that this movie is not mainstream and that is made very clear (not only in its original title). You have a student who is an outsider because of his music taste. And yes Heavy Metal might be your favorite poison, but if it is, you also know it's not what some would call popular music.

On the other hand, you wouldn't want it any other way. Any real Heavy fan wouldn't want his music to "sell out". And so the movie plays off on that and many other clichés. Some of those things work very nicely. Others do not work as good. But overall this is a fun movie to watch ... even if you're not into the music as much as others are ...
