Not to long ago our man Jake hit you all with the details on Universal’s DVD release of Rob Stefaniuk’s SUCK. It seemed the studio was turning to us genre fans in choosing the DVD cover art for the rock and roll vampire flick. Well that’s all fine and dandy… but when will this thing be hitting shelves?! That’s the question we want answered!
And today we get that answer! The guys over at Dread Central got a look at some sales art for SUCK (found below) and let loose that the film will be hitting DVD here in the US starting September 28th via E1 Entertainment. It’s about time. I don’t know about you guys but I’m actually looking forward to checking this one out. I mean think about it… A rock and roll vampire comedy? Screw that TWI-crap, these are the kind of vampires I want to watch!
A rock’n’roll vampire spoof about a down and out band, The Winners, who will do anything for a record deal. When their disgruntled manager (Dave Foley) tells them that they are getting “long in the tooth”, he doesn’t know that his words are truly prophetic. During a road trip, their humdrum image radically changes when Jennifer (Jessica Paré), the bass player, disappears one night with a hip vampire (Dimitri Coats). She emerges with a sexually charged charisma that drives the audiences wild.
As the band members succumb, one by one, to blood lust, their “gimmick” launches them into the limelight. Following an “incident” on a national radio show with “Rock’n Roger” (Henry Rollins), they hit mega-stardom beyond their wildest dreams. Joey (Rob Stefaniuk), the lead singer, is haunted by an eerie bartender (Alice Cooper), who turns out to be much more. Meanwhile, legendary vampire hunter, Eddie Van Helsig (Malcolm McDowell), is tracking them down, despite his fear of the dark. When a veteran music producer (Iggy Pop) calls them on becoming a vampire freak show, they begin to realize that fame is not what it’s cracked up to be.
As you can see the film’s cast includes Dave Foley, Jessica Pare (below), Dimitri Coats, Henry Rollins, Rob Stefaniuk, Alice Cooper, Malcolm McDowell and Iggy Pop. Now that’s one impressive cast! Seriously though, how can any vampire fan not be looking forward to SUCK? It’s looking like a solid horror-comedy that doesn’t take itself to seriously. Aren’t those the best kind?
DVD extras for SUCK will include audio commentary, a making-of featurette, deleted scenes, cast/crew interviews, and a music video. You know, the same fun stuff we get with nearly every DVD.
So there you have it ladies and gents, SUCK will be hitting DVD shelves here in the US starting September 28th so mark your calendars!
