When Brodie is sent to suburban New Zealand to live with his overly religious Aunt and Uncle he has a hard time fitting in. But once he develops a crush on his cousin's girlfriend, Medina. and starts a band with fellow metal head Zakk and Dungeon’s and Dragons enthusiasts Dion and Giles he thinks things are looking up.
That is until the band, Deathgasm, start to experiment with sheet music they found in an old book stolen from one of their local metal heroes.
Suddenly their quiet suburb is under siege from the demonically possessed undead, and if that weren’t bad enough there are a group of occultists who do not want this onslaught stopped.
The best way to describe Deathgasm is to recall that time in the late eighties when Peter Jackson and Sam Raimi had a physical altercation in a practical effects studio while nothing but great metal played in the background.
What do you mean that didn’t happen?...
Well, it happened in my mind and I bet it happened in Jason Lei Howden’s mind as well since that is the easiest explanation as to his influences in writing and directing Deathgasm.
So let’s just get this all out of the way now, Deathgasm is fucking amazing, fun, shocking, and hilarious.
