Straight Edge Kegger

Last week a student asked me for an example of an oxymoron.... if only I knew about 'Straight Edge Kegger' Ok this little movie isn't w/o a few charms, a sometimes fun (if you're bored enough or have always secretly harbored thoughts of taking out a few self righteous no-fun allowed on our watch X-edge bozos) though mostly underwhelming horror'ish flick. Mostly just blood n guts and senseless killing w/o any real heart or thought put into it. In the end nothing anyone will remember 10 minutes after the credits roll.

FINAL Thoughts: 1. Could be fun to watch with friends as a foundation for a drinking game 2. Get over it, once you're legally old enough to drink its called 'sober' not 'straight edge'.

Straight up sucked! Dumb premise. Relied heavily on appearance of bands. The music was great. It was really hard to sit 80 minutes till the end. After a good night of short horror films, this movie started. And alot of people got up and left.

Looking at the other reviews on here, I might be the only person in the world who thinks it, but I thought this movie was great. Maybe it's my own life in punk related music scenes that made this more appealing to me. However I've watched many a punk themed film, and for me this ranks as one of the best. Hipster attention to detail is paramount here, every vinyl, sticker, tattoo, t shirt etc seems perfectly chosen and artfully framed. The soundtrack must be mentioned, with digital noise and jazz mixing in with the expected punk and hardcore. The story it tells is a simple one, as in most slasher movies it's mostly scene setting for sickening violence. Add in some chummy moments and humour along the way and the whole thing just zips by. More punxsploitation like this please.

The contradiction inherent in the title of this film hints at the cleverness of writer/director Jason Zink. As someone who enjoys horror and is fascinated by "punk" culture, and as someone who strongly appreciates a story about identity crisis, I knew I was in for a treat within the first few minutes of this film. The opening scenes at the concert (and outside the venue) are some of the strongest in the film, though when things devolve into violent madness near the film's end, the tension is effective and stays strong throughout the movie's climax. I think Jason Zink is definitely a director to watch and I can't wait to see what he could accomplish with a larger budget.

This film is terrible...don't let the filmmaker's friends and families reviews fool you...this is a terrible film. Don't waste your time like I did. Terrible writing, directing, acting and was overall awful. The effects were the only part that saved this in the least...but even that wasn't enough to keep me interested.

I'll give them a 1 because at least they tried.
