Rock stars Iggy Pop, Alice Cooper, Alex Lifeson, Henry Rollins and Moby put a little bite in their act with the vampire spoof movie Suck, which was released on DVD and Blu-ray on Sept. 28, 2010, from Entertainment One.
Touted as a “rock-n-roll vampire spoof,” Suck tells the story of a bottom-shelf bar band called The Winners that’ll do anything for a record deal. After an encounter with a vampire that turns their singer (Hot Tub Time Machine‘s Jessica Paré) into a sexual dynamo, the group rockets to stardom but discovers that fame and fortune comes with a price. The movie also stars Dave Foley (TV’s The Kids in the Hall) and Malcolm McDowell (TV’s Heroes).
In the movie, rocker Henry Rollins plays Rock’n Roger on a national radio show, Alice Cooper is a sinister bartender and Iggy Pop plays a veteran music producer.
The soundtrack for Suck includes Iggy Pop’s “TVeye” and “Success;” Alice Cooper’s “I am a Spider;” Lou Reed’s Velvet Underground’s “Sweet Nuthin;” David Bowie’s “Here Comes the Night;” and The Rolling Stones’ “Sympathy for the Devil.”
The horror/comedy played at a number of film festivals and was an official selection at the 2009 Toronto International Film Festival and 2010 South By Southwest.
The DVD and Blu-ray, priced at $24.98 each, include these special features:
- making-of featurette “Down to the Crossroads or How to Make a Movie Suck”
- commentary track
- and Burning Bride’s music video for “Flesh and Bone.”
Released in 16×9 anamorphic widescreen, the audio on the DVD is 5.1 Surround Sound and DTS-HD Master Audio on Blu-ray.
