Suck (2009)

For a long time we've had countless rock and roll inspired movies like This Is Spinal Tap, to Heavy Metal 1 and 2, Trick Or Treat, and now we have Suck. The movie is about a band that is sort of going nowhere until their bassist is bitten by a vampire. The bands starts gaining notoriety and the rest of the band decides to join her and they become vampires. The only problem is the lead singer has never been a fan of the idea and is now trying to get the band to convert back and in order to do so they have to kill a vampire named Queenie. The band which goes by the name "The Winners" is Joey (Rob Stefaniuk), Jennifer (Jessica Pare), Tyler (Paul Anthony), Sam (Mike Lobel), and their roadie Hugo (Chris Ratz). The movie also features cameos by rock superstars Alice Cooper, Alex Lifeson (Rush) as a border patrol officer, Moby as the lead singer of a terrible metal band, Henry Rollins (Black Flag/Rollins Band) as a radio DJ, Carole Pope (Rough Trade) as a club bouncer, Iggy Pop as a studio engineer, Dimitri Coats (Burning Brides) as Queeny, Alice Cooper's Daughter Calico Cooper plays a waitress, Dave Foley (Kids In The Hall) plays their manager, and Malcolm McDowell (A Clockwork Orange) plays Eddie Von Helsing . I will say that this isn't the most brilliant movie I have ever seen, but it's a pretty cool movie, it does have it's funny moments, and not to mention Rob Stefaniuk actual sings the songs. That deserves kudos, but my grade for this movie is a C+ (It's almost a B-).
