It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

I don't usually write reviews for films on here but I had to for this one, purely to counter balance the many negative reviews! Is the movie perfect, no, but it's actually pretty good if you like a little more 'indie' films and like alternative music. This movie isn't a 'supernatural' film but more like a thriller message about the dark side of the 'rock and roll music industry' and how wanting fame has it's costs on yourself and those around you.I also thought the inexperienced actors were better actors and more convincing than the 'veterans'. I hadn't heard of Andy Biersack or Ben Bruce before this but for musicians to act they did a really good job and were very watchable, funny and convincing. The soundtrack is also very good plus 'The Relentless' bands music too has been on repeat since (Remington Leith's voice is perfect for Johnny Faust').Overall it's not a bad movie, it's just more a film you'd stream at home than go and see at the movie theatre. I actually hope there is a follow up/TV series that had been suggested as I'd definitely watch it. So if you're willing to not take yourself and this movie too seriously then I'd recommend watching it

Some good songs but a very messy plot, some really poor cameos that define over acting. I was left scratching my head about the lead singer, very hot girlfriend but gets it on with a lesbian who looks like she needs a hearty meal?

I Knew About this Movie since it was Announced, and I Immediately knew it was going to be something unique and amazing. See, I tried having a band way back when, and it was impossible, in a place dominated by a Rap- Centric culture, it really made me want to go back to those days. It is literally a story about "Selling Your Soul for Rock'n Roll." A common trope in many musical artists of the Rock Scene. it's Satanic Imagery is used perfectly and a few touches with real world facts and knowledge, such as the Price of an Apple Computer and the Logo, it was such a great way to express just how Deep Conspiracies and The Devil Can go, if enough people believe in it. Anyways, talking about the actual Movie, it DID have it's flaws, by these were so few compared to the Positive aspects, to Avoid Spoilers i won't go into details, but the allusions to "Faust" were great, an the wy they blended together the true FEELING of being an up and coming rock-star were perfect. 10/10

OK so this won't apply to everyone but if you grew up in a certain kind of Evangelical Christianity - the type where every once in a while a "cool" speaker with a casual outfit and an allegedly dark past would come tell you about how Satan lurks in all the things you love - then this movie will seem weirdly familiar. From watching the trailer I expected a rock 'n roll horror movie, what I got was... something else entirely...Firstly, this is not a horror movie, not even a little bit (there is some decent to good rock in it though). It's basically a sermon about the perils of moral Rock 'n Roll decadence, although much like most of those sermons it does a way better job of making sex, drugs & rock 'n roll seem awesome than in warning you against it.I'm not using allusions to sermons lightly here. The movie both starts and ends with the same kind of out of context, industry insider quotes to make it seem like the devil is real, runs music and everyone involved knows it. Furthermore the movie has continual infodumps on the illuminati and how Satan supposedly controls everything from rock to hip-hop to Apple Computers. But unlike a sermon, there's not actually a point to any of this. Despite heavy handed character names like "Johnny FAUST", there never seem to be real stakes. Selling out to Satan is... sorta bad maybe? But maybe also no big deal? And maybe nothing matters?I would say this is like a Chick Tract with more graphic nudity and drug use but honestly a Chick tract has way more punch to it!
