Suck

Last night I watched the movie Suck on DVD.

The movie is about The Winners, a down and out band, who would be willing to do absolutely anything to get themselves a record deal.  When their manager tells them they are getting long in the tooth, he never realized how prophetic his words truly were.
During a road trip, The Winners radically change when bassist Jennifer goes off with someone one night (who turns out to be a vampire) and when she returns she is almost a different person with a sexually charged charisma that drives the fans wild.
One by one, the band succumbs to the blood lust and their "gimmick" and an incident with a radio DJ propels them to superstardom.
When an aging record producers calls them on being vampires, they realise that being vampires is not all that it's cracked up to be.

This is not the greatest of movies, featuring Iggy Pop, Alice Cooper, Henry Rollins and Moby (as a rocker called Beef!!) and features music from Rolling Stones, David Bowie and more...in fact the soundtrack is actually a lot better than the movie itself.

It's an ok movie I guess, it doesn't really take itself too seriously.

Suck is rated 15 and available on DVD now.
