Leave your thoughts about Deathgasm.
| Daily DeadHeather WixsonDeathgasm is gloriously low-brow, yet insightful (such a fine line to walk and yet, Jason Lei Howden makes it look easy here), and the comedic strokes throughout the script are absolute gold. |
| Real Queen of HorrorZena DixonDeathgasm is a comedy horror that is actually funny! |
| Projected FiguresAnton Bitelan affectionate skewering of coming-of-age tropes, metal culture and New Zealand mundanity, where the blood-splattered, head-severing end of the world proves utterly endearing. Death to false metal! |
| Austin ChronicleRichard WhittakerShamelessly low-brow, reaching a beer-fueled gleeful high with a zombie-vs.-sex toys battle, it's a very metal tribute to the grand tradition of Kiwi splatter comedies. |
| CineVueMartyn ConterioJason Lei Howden's directorial debut is primed for unalloyed genre thrills, making you laugh until your sides hurt and subverting the rom-zom-com format. |
| About.comMark H. HarrisWith its localized demonic outbreak, Deathgasm plays a bit like Demons or Evil Dead, but with the energetic, lighthearted appeal (and splattery gore) of Dead Alive and the clueless fanboy heroism of Wayne's World or even Beavis and Butthead. |
| Minneapolis Star TribuneColin CovertIt won't carry fans of "Shaun of the Dead" or "Army of Darkness" into unexplored territory, but it's energetic enough to slap a stupid grin on your face. |
| NerdistScott WeinbergFunny, vulgar, wildly gory, and (whaaat?) actually kinda sweet. |
| Screen-SpaceSimon FosterA star is born in Milo Cawthorne as headbangin' loner Brodie, who exhibits great comic timing and an every-dude charm, especially in his efforts to woo the wonderful Kimberley Crossman. |
| Movie MezzanineAndy CrumpDeathgasm isn't just for lovers of metal and horror enthusiasts-it's a movie made for any misunderstood loners. |
