I'm not really a huge fan of the splatter flick. That said, if they are done cleverly, with some genuine comedic moments, some are entertaining.
Lamentably, Deathgasm, is neither clever nor funny. Its a clumsy B grade flick that uses an over abundance of puerile toilet and exceedingly cheesy, visual adult jokes and tries to palm them off (no pun intended) as humour. Combine this with some really over the top splatter that, for me, goes too far and you have a real stinker on your hands here.
The acting, such as it is, is passable. Don't expect any stand out performances. The storyline is actually not half bad but mis-casting adults, who are clearly well into their twenties, as teens is a huge mistake. The whole thing is simply unconvincing.
In summary, there are some good ideas behind Deathgasm but the overly crude tone, the fall flat jokes, excessive violence (even for a splatter flick) and poor casting choices, let it down badly. Four out of ten from me.
