Suck is a funny, unique, charmingly quirky creation from the incredibly talented Rob Stefaniuk. Character development and plot are quite exception in this semi-musical vampire rock sensitisation, a real piece of film gold. You'll want to buy the soundtrack afterwards, and possibly marry Stefaniuk. American rock band Burning Brides also added excellence to the soundtrack with their single "Flesh and Bone", Dimitri Coats's performance of this was mesmerising as was his character, he was clearly born to play a singing vampire. Malcolm McDowell was a really pleasant addition to an already perfectly combined cast, and added an equal amount of tension and hilarity. If any film is deserving of cult status then this is it; it's like The Might Boosh meets Fright Night with a dash of Rock of Ages. Do yourself a favour and watch this film!

star-writer-songwriter-director Rob Stefaniuk's comedy horror about vampires and a music band coming together in a clash of mockery and rock and roll. The plot partly derived from Bram Stoker's Dracula. When bass player Jennifer (appropriately pale Jessica Paré) turns into a vampire after bitten by one it actually transforms a lousy band into a popular act due to her sudden seductive outlook and musical prowess. The group soon discovers the truth about her. They make a pact with Jennifer to stop murdering folks for blood and not to harm either of them. But the temptation of hunger is nothing compared to her band members desperation for success. Hot on their musical tours is Eddie Van Helsing (Malcolm McDowell) tracking down the leader of Nosferatu. Surprisingly appealing songs (sung by the characters themselves) & cameos by some of hard rock's luminaries includes Alice Cooper & Iggy Pop (Victor) saves the Canadian cheapie from mediocrity. Maybe the Punk-Goth-rock fans will appreciate it more. Try to spot references to famous musical montages and albums covers.

For those not into the Twilight genre of pretend vampire movies, this is an interesting film from Canada.The band sucks, and so does someone else. The second sucking will cure the first.Rock legends Alice Cooper, Moby, and Iggy Pop contribute to the fun, which also includes cartoon scenes interspersed throughout.And, what would be a vampire movie without Van Helsing. Malcolm McDowell fills that role splendidly. More yucks than gore. So, it is really a very soft R, almost a PG-13. Put drugs in a film and it overrides everything else.

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.
