Incannerax What a waste of my time!!!
RipDelight This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.
InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
Portia Hilton Blistering performances.
bluedog-06340 Disappointing but I the music was good. The acting was OK but I expect to see Satan if it is in the title and not as a name of a track on an album.
rayvenrenai-622-33003 I'm not a rock n roll fan. Just seeing the trailer I thought this movie was going to be good. I came into the movie open-minded. I learned from this movie is rock n roll/heavy metal is related to the devil. The movie is about Johnny and his bandmates moves to Hollywood in hopes of becoming stars. After arriving to Hollywood, A creepy old man offered them a deal. They have to sacrifice someone to seal the deal. Johnny is skeptical about sacrificing someone but he feels its the only thing he can do to save his mom who has cancer. Things starts to go great but he eventually finds himself participating in drugs, violence, and sex. The movie ends with the devil (creepy old guy) telling him. His next act is to shoot a mentally old man on stage during their performance. He refuses but he sees his mother is dating the devil. The curtains are opening, johnny is on stage with the gun to his head, and the devil standing next to him. Johnny kills the mentally unstable man which lands him in jail. While in jail, his ex forgives him and will be by his side. He now is represented by the best lawyer in LA. Movie ends. The movie basically summed up what many people believe about the music industry and the devil. If you want to be famous then you have to sell to your soul. I think this movie had potential to be good with better actors and a better script. The script was all over the place.
beastiegirl-70131 I've never been inclined to write a review before until I saw all the terrible and undeserved reviews others were giving this movie. Like, back off pseudo-Eberts. It's not like this film was gunning for Oscar contention so maybe calm down with the criticism. Was the movie perfect? No, but it was still very watchable and I actually enjoyed it. As someone who has sat through some absolutely terrible movies with acting that makes me cringe in embarrassment and pity for the poor soul fumbling around on screen, I can say with certainty this is not one of those films. Unless you are going in with unreasonably high expectations, I don't think the average viewer will be disappointed. More importantly, as a bigger fan of music than film, the soundtrack and American Satan album are stellar. Not gonna lie, if the Relentless were a real band, I'd probably be a groupie. I also can't understand the hate around Andy Biersack not being the real voice behind the music. The director didn't want people to think of Andy Biersack of Black Veil Brides. He wanted people to connect with the character Johnny Faust. I applaud this decision and think it worked well. tl;dr...don't trust the bad reviews this movie is totally worth the watch. Oh, and buy the soundtrack and album.
Paul Gulota (pgulota) I hoped this would be the type of movie metal fans were waiting for. The ultimate rock fan's dream or dilemma with a blazing soundtrack to go along with it. While the music was what I expected, it still couldn't save the embarrassingly bad screenplay. It was painful to watch at times. I almost feel bad for the actors having to say some of these cheesy lines and pretend to mean it. Hopefully it doesn't discourage more people from making movies like this. But it definitely doesn't encourage it either.
