Suck (movie)

 

Looking for something cheesy and fun to watch on Halloween (since we didn't make it out anywhere), we happened upon this rock'n'roll vampire flick and while it was definitely a cheesy B-flick, it was also better than we expected and plenty of silly fun.

The film follows a struggling band, ironically named the Winners, who are pretty gawd-awful, but then they encounter a vampire and as they each, in turn, become children of the night, the band gets better'n'better and the audience responses rapturously. Of course, this means that they end up feasting on their fans, which does not seem like a good business model, and they end up discovering how to reverse their situation.

There are numerous musicians of every level involved (you may recognize some of those that I did not) and the guest stars here are pretty insane - Alice Cooper (apparently as Satan, altho this is only implied), Iggy Pop (as an eccentric studio engineer/producer), Henry Rollins (in a truly fun role as a shock DJ - one of the better roles I've seen him in) and Malcolm McDowell as a somewhat goofy Eddie Van Helsing (that includes some cuts from O Lucky Man as flashbacks).

Far from serious cinema or anything of substance, it still was a good time and recommended for those looking for some light-hearted silly fun.
