Designed to provide a "perfect storm" of gore, guitars, girls and comedy, Deathgasm follows two young heavy metallers who accidentally summon up demons. Blazing a bloody trail at festivals across the globe, the film was born from the Make My Movie Project: one of 400 pitches to make a low-budget Kiwi horror film. Winning writer/director Jason Lei Howden (Guns Akimbo) was inspired by his own metal and movie-mad youth. After its debut at the US festival South by Southwest, Deathgasm won acclaim and horror awards, and spawned a sequel.
I can see why the horror market is bloated with found-footage movies and single location ghost horror. We have heaps of characters, many different locations and some extreme gore. But I’m glad I stuck to my vision.– Writer/director Jason Lei Howden
