The greatest movie ever!

Gripping story with well-crafted characters

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

Go in cold, and you're likely to emerge with your blood boiling. This has to be seen to be believed.

After Reading the reviews thus far I have heard acclaim for Malcolm that are really the biggest mistake I found in the list. McDowell's Lackluster acting is the only real downer of this gem. The action in the movie is meant to be slow from the start, the band suffers what most bands do. They can't find a fan base and can't build their desires to make that happen, that is until Dimitri shows up and makes a mountain out of a mole hill. "Jennifer" starts off as a new vampire with needs. She needs blood and she needs to hide the bodies. "Hugo" Serves up a nice "Renfield" moment or two, and then things start to come together for the band. Their Sleaze-ball Manager leaves them high and dry, and the hunger for blood builds a relationship that had failed once before.There is soft humor with great goth metal and some nerd core, and some slapstick. There is nothing lacking in the story and it grows well and blooms into a full on feast of funny. Mostly punctuated with great roles filled with some of the best rockers and rollers. I mean how often do you get to satisfyingly smirk at the death of Moby or Henry Rollins? Don't pass this up cult movie fans! This is a must see and remember for life's little special rules. "Always wear a condom, and never trust a vampire."

Here is a film that ignores some of the more obvious issues that becoming a vampire might raise and instead goes right to big one: "What if the Vampire played bass in your band?" In this lighthearted and fairly amusing romp that's about as deep as it gets.A struggling indie band whose own manager thinks they should sack him are going nowhere - until at a post gig after-party their bass player and only female member Jennifer heads off into the night with a vampire... that's not a spoiler folks this guy was obviously 100% vampire - Suck isn't a film that engages in subtlety much.After missing the tour-hearse (not bus) the next morning the lead singer Joey, her ex-boyfriend by the way, decides enough and promotes the band roadie (and funniest guy in the film) Hugo to play bass - with ear-bleeding results.So it seems a relief when a couple days later Jennifer reappears in fine fettle. If there is one thing that dozens of vampire films have shown us in the last couple years it is that Vampires have great skin! More than that the first gig with her back in the fold is a huge success - for them - literally dozens of hits on their website.This momentum continues to build as more and more people show to their gigs to be entranced and taken by Jennifer's beauty and fangy-charisma.The band are skeptical of Jennifer's true condition, especially when they find her chewing on her latest victim in a motel room... but sometimes you have to turn a blind eye to get to the top. Joey is less willing to take a back seat, leading him to undermine her impact at every available turn.But as the famous saying goes - If having one vampire in your band is good, surely more is better? You might not have heard that saying but trust me it is huuuuge where I come from.The whole movie plays out like an extended comedy skit, though it mostly remains just on the good side of outstaying it's welcome by featuring cameo after cameo of famous rockers just when things seem to be slowing down.Alice Cooper has a supporting role and pops up every now and then, Iggy Pop plays a "seen it all" music producer and Henry Rollins has a very funny (and seemingly non-Henry Rollins) role as a moronic DJ who interviews the band.I liked Suck and chuckled while I was watching the film, but it is essentially a one-note film that doesn't do much to shake up the vampire genre. It is a refreshing alternative to the oh so serious-yet vacant Twilight stuff though.Wooops! Nearly forgot the other ethical dilemma created by having a vampire bass player: "Do the roles of the indie band roadie extend to cleaning up dead parts of groupies?" I'll leave you to chew over that one for the next few days.Final Rating - 5.5 / 10. The best thing you can say about a movie called Suck is that at least it doesn't...

A film made by a band of washed up rock and roll stars in Canada, what could go wrong? The plot is that a mediocre band of misfits finds themselves with new found fame when their hot female bassist is turned into a vampire and becomes hotter. So they drive around Canada and New York, picking off victims and gaining popularity.You are never quite sure if they are vampires or cannibals, in some parts, but who cares.The movie is supposed to be a comedy, but it just isn't funny, despite cameos by David Foley, Alice Cooper and Moby that try to make it so. Malcolm McDowell plays a vampire hunter while working for booze money.

I don't have anything against The Rocky Horror Picture Show and I don't have anything against musicians playing in a movie but I really have something against movies classified under horror while it's just some piece of crap. Some of the musicians can't act, like Moby. If you want to see musicians act go watch Hardware. Why an actor like McDowell agreed to play in this flick is for me still a question. It just is a movie for teenies. If you like Twilight then you also will like this one. It is never scary or gory, yes, there is blood and dismembered bodies but it doesn't work. There are a lot of effects, old school like Alice Cooper said and CGI. A lot of effects done while editing. The director just made a mix of a musical, horror, spoof, and references to album covers (The Beatles at Abbey Road, Bruce Springsteen's Born in the USA). It's just a hodgepodge. Made for the teens, if you are a real horror geek, I prefer Hardware with Iggy Pop, Carl McCoy and Lemmy, just suck that one...
