Hellbent

A surreal trip through rock n roll and the immortal soul.
Director Richard Casey of Horror House On Highway 5 fame, unleashes a story or maybe more of a glimpse into the seedy underbelly of the LA rock scene with a twist of soul selling mischief mixed in.
A story of an unsuccessful band, the band leader Lemmy (no not the Lemmy of Motorhead fame) is struggling to keep the band out of debt and still get exposure. Unable to make this happen he may just have to pay the devil his due. The story take twists and turns and shows a once promising career on the brink due to massive drugs and cough syrup consumption. Will Lemmy and his band of misfits go on to stardom or does the devil have other plans for these fame hungry fiends. You'll have to watch to find out. The version I watched was the Vinegar Syndrome release on Blu-ray. This release is a 2k transfer from the original 35mm negatives. Also included are a commentary track by the director Richard Casey and the making of featurette A Little Chaos.
When you get the chance check this out, you won't regret it.
