In Montreal, Joey (Rob Stefaniuk) is the lead singer of the struggling band "The Winners", composed by the sexy bass singer Jennifer (Jessica Paré), the guitarist Tyler (Paul Anthony), the drummer Sam (Mike Lobel) and the handyman Hugo (Chris Ratz). Their incompetent and alcoholic manager Jeff (Dave Foley) is incapable to help them to reach success and they are on the road on tour playing in clubs and bars in Canada and United States of America. After a show in a bar in Montreal, Jennifer, who is also the Joey's former girlfriend, leaves the place with the creepy Queeny (Dimitri Coats), who is a vampire, and they spend the night together. On the next morning, Jennifer does not meet the band and they travel in their hearse to participate in a rock 'n' roll show without her. In the last moment, Jennifer arrives with a different appearance and on the next day they find that their home page had had several hits, all of them with good reviews and compliments to Jennifer. They become famous and Jennifer brings great audiences to the shows of "The Winners" and one by one, the musicians are turned into vampires but the reluctant Joey. "The Winners" become successful and Joey has a dream where he meets the bartender (Alice Cooper) of their show in Montreal in a crossroad and the man tells that he needs to decide whether he wants to be a winner or a loser. Meanwhile the vampire hunter Eddie Van Helsing (Malcolm McDowell) is hunting the vampire queen and tracking "The Winners" in their shows. "Suck" is a refreshing vampire and rock 'n' roll cult movie with cameo of Alice Copper, Iggy Pop, Moby and Henry Rollins. But the greatest attraction is the sexy and gorgeous Jessica Paré with her luxurious lips and beautiful eyes. Chris Ratz is hilarious in the role of the handyman Hugo and Malcolm McDowell has also a great performance. But the originality of the story makes this film a worthwhile entertainment. My vote is seven.Title (Brazil): Not Available

Can a semi-musical vampire movie with a comedic twist ever be good? Rob Stefaniuk proves it can! This Canadian movie starring Rob Stefaniuk and Jessica Pare (... oh wait, you don't know who they are? How about Alice Cooper, Moby, Henry Rollins and Iggy Pop ? They are all in this) mixes all of the things above into a perfect union. I find it hard to describe it without comparing it to other things. It feels like the original Lost Boys found Interview with a Vampire, it looks like a Queens of the Stone Age video, it sounds like a rock concert and the jokes are tasteful and they relate to things without parody, but only good humour.Bottom line: too cool for words, this film is not even about vampires. The undead condition is only a metaphor for the seduction of success. Best quote: "I'm just here to set you free... again.". It just proves that a good idea and a lot of spirit can make a movie great without the need for explosions and naked women. Watch it! Now!

This is utter rubbish. Moby, Alice Cooper etc should be ashamed. The story is crap, the director an autistic retard. This is self indulgent, embarrassing, boring, disconnected, pretentious . Lame , gay....... Avoid! Brush your teeth, visit a dairy, crochet, paint the fence, eat ya nannies cake, do anything else.Do not watch this....Even Iggy pop is embarrassing....This rubbish appears to have directed itself in some juvenile random fashion. You cold not teach this garbage in a kindergarten. Even the songs are freaked. The make up is puss, sound design is a contradiction of terms. Canada should be held accountable. This sells your country down the garden path, Our Baz lurmans Australia is actually better. That's saying something!

I was looking forward to watching this film as i have enjoyed watching other vampire spoof films. However the film had an exceptionally slow start and didn't really speed up even towards the end. The film was billed as a comedy and watching only found 3 or 4 lines in the entire film remotely funny. The best thing about the film is the cast. Some of the music stars really helped me continue watching, as i wanted to see who else would be in the film. The best thing about this film is that it really lives up to its title this film really "Sucks". It was 91mins of my life i will never get back. This however is just my opinion, and know of people who have actually enjoyed it. So i would say watch it. But don't buy it rent it as once will be enough.
