Deathgasm 2: Goremageddon is finally here, and it's a wild ride that fans of the original will love. This sequel, directed by Jason Lei Howden, picks up years after the events of the first film, where Brodie and his band DEATHGASM narrowly averted a demon apocalypse. Now, Brodie finds himself unemployed, single, and lacking ambition, but a new battle-of-the-bands competition in town sparks his desire to reform the band and win back his ex-girlfriend, Medina.
What makes this sequel particularly exciting is the return of the original cast, including Milo Cawthorne as Brodie, Kimberley Crossman as Medina, and James Blake, Sam Berkley, and Daniel Cresswell. The new cast members, such as Kieran Charnock, Harrison Keefe, Maggie Robertson, and WWE star Adam Scherr (Braun Strowman), add a fresh dynamic to the film. The movie's soundtrack, featuring metal acts like Skinless, Havok, Chestcrush, Bulletbelt, Anvil, and GWAR, promises to be a heavy metal fan's dream come true.
One of the most intriguing aspects of Deathgasm 2: Goremageddon is the creative way Brodie raises his dead bandmates. With the pages of The Black Hymn in hand, Brodie can play a little tune to bring his fallen friends back to life, adding a unique and darkly humorous twist to the story. This blend of heavy metal, black magic, comedy, and extreme gore is what made the original Deathgasm a cult favorite, and it seems the sequel will continue this tradition.
The long wait for this sequel is finally over, with a theatrical event in September followed by a digital release in October. The movie will screen in select Alamo Drafthouse theaters across the United States as part of the Fantastic Fest Presents program, allowing fans to experience the film in a communal setting. This one-night event is a testament to the film's intention to be experienced 'loud, together, and on the biggest screen possible,' as quoted by Raven Banner partner and producer Andrew Thomas Hunt.
Deathgasm 2: Goremageddon is a must-watch for fans of the original, offering a blend of humor, horror, and heavy metal that is sure to satisfy. The film's unique approach to raising the dead and its focus on the band's reunion make it a fresh and entertaining addition to the horror-comedy genre. So, get ready to headbang and laugh your way through this thrilling sequel!
