Review of Suck

Suck (2009)
5/10
Punk-Goth-rock fans will appreciate it more
23 September 2012
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.
