Info:
- Release Date: October 13, 2017
- Creators: Ash Avildsen (director), Ash Avildsen (writer)
- Genre: Fame, But At What Cost?
- Rating: ★★★☆☆
Plot:
- The half-British, half-American band The Relentless think it's perfectly normal for a man named Mr. Capricorn to offer them a satanic pact for success. First item on the list: human sacrifice!
Notes:
- Aw, this movie had me at Malcolm McDowell and Denise Richards. Throw in writing and direction by Ash Avildsen, son of John Avildsen (Karate Kid!), and you have a gorgeously shot, delightfully sleazy film about the dangers of jumping too eagerly in bed with the devil
- Great music throughout!
- John Bradley (Samwell Tarly!) snorting lines coke in a hardcore S&M fantasy club.
- Real musicians (Andy Biersack of Black Veil Brides and Ben Bruce of Asking Alexandria) mingling with the actors
- Kid-friendly actors, with Booboo Stewart (Descendants & Decendants 2) and Drake Bell (Drake & Josh) as rival Satan-dealing bandmates
