PORT WASHINGTON, NY � �Twilight meets True Blood with a dash of Rock Star[1]� in SUCK, a rock-n-roll vampire spoof arriving on DVD and Blu-ray this Fall, from Entertainment One. Fresh off of a series of theatrical screenings across the country, SUCK follows a bottom-shelf bar band that�ll do anything for a record deal. After a life-changing encounter with a vampire, they rocket to stardom only to discover that fame and fortune are not all they are cracked up to be. Featuring an all-star ensemble, riotous cameos from rock icons along with a killer soundtrack � and arriving while our culture is transfixed by all things vampiric � SUCK is sure to be devoured by horror lovers and music fans alike, when the DVD and Blu-ray versions ($24.98 SRP each) are unleashed on September 28.
The Winners are a go-nowhere rock band, living out of the back of a hearse, which is also doubling as their �tour van.� When their disgruntled manager (Dave Foley, �NewsRadio�, �The Kids in the Hall�) tells them that they are getting �long in the tooth,� he doesn�t know that his words are truly prophetic. During a road trip, however, their humdrum image radically changes after bass player Jennifer (Jessica Par�, Hot Tub Time Machine, Wicker Park), disappears one night with a hip, goth vampire (played by Dimitri Coats of the band Burning Brides). Shortly thereafter, she emerges, lacking more pigment than usual, but possessing a new sexually-charged charisma that drives the audiences wild.
As the band members succumb one by one to blood lust, their new �gimmick� launches them into the limelight. Following an incident on a national radio show with �Rock�n Roger� (Henry Rollins), they hit mega-stardom beyond their wildest dreams. But fame comes with a price as Joey (Rob Stefaniuk), the front man, is haunted by a sinister bartender (Alice Cooper), who turns out to be much more. Meanwhile, legendary vampire hunter, Eddie Van Helsig (Malcolm McDowell, Halloween, �Entourage�,A Clockwork Orange), is tracking them down, despite his fear of the dark. When a veteran music producer (Iggy Pop) calls them on becoming a vampire freak show, they begin to realize that the thirst for fame may not be worth the price of their souls.
A wild ride down the highway to hell, SUCK also boasts a soundtrack that 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 DVD and Blu-ray editions of SUCK both include a mesmerizing collection of extras, including the comprehensive making-of featurette �Down to the Crossroads or: How to Make a Movie SUCK,� an audio commentary track, and Burning Bride�s music video for �Flesh and Bone.� The DVD for SUCK is presented in 16x9 anamorphic widescreen with 5.1 Surround Sound. On Blu-ray, the film is presented with DTS-HD Master Audio. Both releases include English SDH Subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing.
