"Deathgasm 2" to screen in Mexico City as part of Macabro Horror Festival

Fans of heavy metal and horror comedy will have a chance to experience "Deathgasm 2: Goremageddon" on the big screen in Mexico City. The film is set to screen as part of the Macabro International Horror Film Festival 2026, with two showings scheduled in August.

The sequel picks up a decade after the 2015 New Zealand film "Deathgasm," which blended guitars, demons, humor, and graphic violence. In "Deathgasm 2," protagonist Brodie attempts to resurrect his former bandmates using the power of metal, only to unleash a zombie apocalypse. The film features returning cast members Milo Cawthorne, Kimberley Crossman, and James Joshua Blake.

Original cast members Milo Cawthorne, Kimberley Crossman, and James Joshua Blake reprise their roles in "Deathgasm 2: Goremageddon." The film runs for 102 minutes and is presented in English. The first screening is on Friday, August 14, at 8:30 PM at Cineteca Nacional. The second screening is on Sunday, August 16, also at 8:30 PM, at La Casa del Cine in Mexico City's Historic Center.

Following the events of the first movie, Brodie faces a difficult period. His bandmates are deceased, Medina has moved on, and he no longer has his guitar. A musical competition presents an unconventional solution: resurrecting his old bandmates. This plan succeeds but triggers a new disaster as the dead multiply, forcing Brodie to confront another supernatural threat with his signature blend of guitars, metal, and unconventional zombie-fighting methods. The film's soundtrack features Matt Heafy, vocalist and guitarist of Trivium.
