Turo is stuck in a small village and the best thing in his life is being the lead vocalist for the amateur metal band Impaled Rektum. He and his bandmates have practiced for 12 years without playing a single gig. The guys get a surprise visitor from Norway -- the promoter for a huge heavy metal music festival -- and decide it's now or never. They steal a van, a corpse, and even a new drummer to make their dreams a reality.
Practical Effects
The corpse makeup and homemade stage props are gloriously gross.
Writing
Dialogue so deadpan it hurts — Finnish humor at its driest.
Score
Original metal that's surprisingly, legitimately crushing.
