Suck: Difference between revisions

''Suck'' is a Canadian horror comedy about a garage rock band, The Winners, consisting of the singer Joey Winner, guitarist Tyler, bassist Jennifer and drummer Sam. On the night before their tour, Jennifer is seduced and turned into a vampire by [[Big Bad|Queenie]], the arch-enemy of vampire hunter Eddie Van Helsig. When she reappears before the first show, everything seems to be fine and her performance helps the band gain popularity, but then [[It Got Worse|things get worse.]]

 

* [[Asshole Victim]]: Rockin' Roger and Beef.

* [[Actor Allusion]]: During the flashbacks of Eddie van Helsing, [[Malcolm McDowell]] is easily harking back to his [[A Clockwork Orange (Film)|Alex DeLarge]] days, haircut wise.

* [[Evil Is Sexy]]: Vampire Jen. Averted with Queenie and his absolutely ridiculous jewfro.

* [[Eyepatch of Power]]: Eddie van Helsig wears one ''under sunglassess''.

** [[Alice Cooper (Music)|Alice Cooper]] plays the bartender {{spoiler|who is most probably [[Satan|Lucifer himself]].}}

** [[Moby]] plays Beef Bellows, the singer for [[Punny Name|Secretaries of Steak]].

* [[Impaled With Extreme Prejudice]]: {{spoiler|Queenie. On a guitar.}}

* [[Mushroom Samba]]: The aptly titled "This Is Your Brain On Drugs" musical number after Joey mistakes extasy for aspirin.

* [[The Renfield]]: [[Subverted Trope|Mostly subverted by Hugo the roadie.]] He does agree to cover up the bodies in return for immortality, and at one point eats a fly. But he didn't think that eating the fly would grant him life and he rants about being used by the band. Plus, he already did all their grunt-work when everybody was human.

* [[Scream Discretion Shot]]: When Jen [[Groin Attack|goes down on Beef]], the scene is cut to Tyler taking a bite out of a hotdog in the next room. The rest of the band, at Hugo's suggestion, mistake Beef's screams for a TV being too loud.

** The shot of the band crossing the street is a reference to the cover of [[The Beatles]]' ''Abbey Road''.

** There's a great visual reference to the cover of [[Bruce Springsteen]]'s Born In The USA album.

* [[Stock Footage]]: From ''[[O Lucky Man]]''; see [[Troubled Backstory Flashback]].

* [[The Cameo]]: Alex Lifeson from [[Rush]] plays the border guard.
