A Star Studded Cast in the Horror Comedy Suck

Have a look at this cast list for the horror, comedy Suck: Malcolm McDowell, Jessica Pare, Dave Foley, Henry Rollins, Iggy Pop, Alice Cooper and the list goes on! Suck will be at the SXSW Film Festival with other film festivals to follow. The plot follows a down and out band who will do anything to become famous (Suck). Will they go as far as becoming vampires to become famous? The very high quality music video from the band below gives a pretty big hint as to the path The Winners take. Check out the many personalities in the video below until more details filter this way (not to be missed)!

The synopsis for Suck:

"A rock’n’roll vampire spoof about a down and out band, The Winners, who will do anything for a record deal. When their disgruntled manager (Dave Foley) tells them that they are getting “long in the tooth”, he doesn’t know that his words are truly prophetic. During a road trip, their humdrum image radically changes when Jennifer (Jessica ParĂ©), the bass player, disappears one night with a hip vampire (Dimitri Coats). She emerges with a sexually charged charisma that drives the audiences wild.

As the band members succumb, one by one, to blood lust, their “gimmick” launches them into the limelight... When a veteran music producer (Iggy Pop) calls them on becoming a vampire freak show, they begin to realize that fame is not what it’s cracked up to be" (Suck).

Release Date: March 12 (Limited Theatrical -SXSW).

Director/writer: Rob Stefaniuk.

Cast: Moby, Danny Smith, Mike Lobel and Paul Anthony.
