The film follows a petty rock band called the Winners, consisting of vocalist Joey Winner, bassist Jennifer, guitarist Tyler, drummer Sam, and French-Canadian roadie Hugo, along with their sleazy manager Jeff, as they tour across Canada and the USA after Jennifer is turned into a vampire by Queeny. Meanwhile, a vampire hunter who is afraid of the dark named Eddie Van Helsing quickly chases them down.

You know what? Hell yeah!
It isn’t the perfect movie, but when you add iconic rock stars, music references, and catchy songs to a Twilight-era vampire resurgence movie, it’s bound to be a good time!

2024 Movie Gauntlet - 32: Watch a Canadian movie
I added this movie to my watchlist last year after completing my Mad Men rewatch, when I found myself scrolling through Jessica Paré’s filmography. She had some interesting and varied work pre-MM, and this was my first time finally dipping a toe into any of it.
Suck is a low-budget, campy, vampy Canadian horror-comedy that is so extremely right up my alley that I’m really sad it never seemed to have made a splash in the US when it was released back in 2009. It features Jessica as a goth bass-playing vampire hottie slowly propelling her touring local rock band to stardom while evading a vampire hunter literally named Eddie Van Helsing (played by Malcom McDowell). There’s also a string of fun cameos from Alice Cooper, Iggy Pop, Moby, Henry Rollins and more — my personal favorite being Rush’s Alex Lifeson playing a border agent who happily proclaims at one point, “I used to be in a band! So fun!”
Despite its clear budget constraints, this came off to me as a very imaginative and fun movie, with these cool stop-motion transition sequences, several nods to classic rock imagery, lots of spooky vampire makeup and a handful of perverted jokes. Plus the soundtrack, stuffed full of original songs created for our protagonist’s in-movie band, really worked for me, and I found myself wishing it had some sort of physical media release. I could see this one pairing well with something like Repo! The Genetic Opera … might have to do a double feature in the future!
