POSITIVES
Fans of heavy metal music will find a lot to like about this coming of age high school movie. If anything else, it's got a solid soundtrack that accompanies it.
That sequence with War Pigs by Black Sabbath really captured the spirit of heavy metal.
Jaeden Martell as Kevin and Isis Hainsworth as Emily were the ones that kept me invested with this movie. Also kudos to Adrian Greensmith for going all in playing Hunter.
The original song that the movie teases and builds up to is worth the wait.
It's got a thematic commentary about songs and music and people that I appreciated seeing in this movie.
NEGATIVES
Kinda plays on the more embarrassing stereotypes of heavy metal fans far more than I wished it would.
Moves at a somewhat unexciting pace.
Familiar plot tropes and cliches here and there.
No slight against the actor, but the character of Hunter is an annoying idiot.
Moments of extreme awkwardness and preciousness can be a little too much.
