“Suck” Vampire Flick Premiers At Toronto Film Festival

Suck recently premiered at the Toronto Film Festival.
It’s a vampire horror comedy featuring stars like Moby, Alice Cooper, and Iggy Pop.
A rock band wishes to become famous and gets a chance to do so after meeting a vampire-and gets more than a record deal in the package.
“It’s sort of like an exaggerated rock & roll world,” says director and writer Rob Stefaniuk. “I’ve seen a lot of rock & roll movies, but what I wanted to do differently is make it less of a cinéma vé?rité — this is what it feels like to be in a real band, and yet I didn’t want to do a parody of a bunch of guys that go ‘Yeah dude’ and a big roadie. I wanted it to feel real, so you’re not in a band with a bunch of druggie people; you’re in a band with a bunch of vampires.”
The movie, as expected, features lots of blood and guts, and latex rubber “meat” was created to throw at vegan Moby, who plays “Beef Ballow,” lead singer for the band Secretaries of Steak.
Great idea these guys used fake meat-unlike that horrible meat tree from True Blood, so Moby wouldn’t hurl blood from disgust.
