Remember earlier this month when the producers of Rob Stefaniuk’s vampire musical SUCK solicited aide from us here fans? Well, looks like the crew are back at!
That’s right y’all, we just received a press release which, instead of calling for the flick to screen in your hometown, offers the opportunity for fans to choose one of two DVD covers that will be used for the official release of the flick. Pretty cool stuff!
Wait, don’t recall what SUCK is all about? Reread the rundown below!
Written and directed by Stefaniuk, SUCK is:
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 flick boasts a who’s-who roster of rock-n-roll greats. Just another reason to vote on the DVD art so we can see this shite way sooner than later. Speaking of, all you have to do is peep the two covers below, click HERE to cast your vote, then simply wait for the results to come in. Like I said, you gotta 50 % chance of nailing this sucker…so choose wisely!
