FILM 19 PERSONALISED &
SUCK
With a title like “Suck” and the fact that it’s being released straight to DVD, you could be forgiven for dismissing this low-budget comedy Canadian import along with other genre spoofed wrecks of the last decade. But to do so would be a shame… well, perhaps only if your childhood was spent sinking your teeth into cult classic horror and sci-fi schlock like “The Toxic Avenger” and “Flash Gordon.” And while one never knows which films
will achieve the status of beloved cult classic, “Suck” certainly puts itself in the running with this charmingly irreverent rock ‘n’ roll vampire road trip. Struggling band “The Winners” are “30 pounds of junk food and a retail job away from suicide” as their rock stardom dreams fade until one fateful bar gig put on by the vampire-in-disguise Alice Cooper. One of Cooper’s charismatic fellow bloodsuckers, Queeny (Dimitri
Coates), arrives to sweep Jennifer (Jessica Paré), the band’s bassist, off to the sexy world of immortals. Her newfound magnetism quickly attracts feverish adoration from audiences. Against his better judgement, bandleader Joey (writer/director Rob Stefaniuk) allows Jessica to remain in the band and her deal with the devil to continue moving them up the charts, provided she promises not to transform any of her bandmates
into similarly undead hotties. Of course, it isn’t long before the rest of the band has given in to the temptation of powder-white vamp sexiness and groupie feeds. Joey becomes disillusioned at having achieved fame the easy way and convinces the band to join him on a mission to put everything right in a perilous face-off with Queeny. Complicating things is vampire hunter Eddie Van Helsing (Malcolm McDowell, “A Clockwork Orange”),
who has his own score to settle with Queeny and the band. Spattered with an endless supply of fake blood, littered with cameos (including devout vegetarian Moby as the punk-rocking leader of meat-flinging “Secretaries of Steak”) and propelled by enough good laughs to satisfy even the most hardcore music geeks and horror fans, “Suck” should live well beyond its premature straight-to- DVD death.
