It's extremely Cronenberg-y so if you like his father's work you should definitely check it out.

Well said. The Cronenberg vibe isn't totally my thing, but I certainly appreciated the movie. It seemed like it did a good job world-building that fed in nicely to the overall hit.

I want to see a VFW-like horror movie but instead of old war veterans it's a local wrestling show and the whole locker room of pro wrestlers has to fight the zombies/vampires/goop monsters.

I can almost see the first monster kill being a powerbomb that leads to a goop explosion.

Luchadores have a long history of fighting monsters, and I'm baffled why this genre has never made its way to the United States and bigger budgets.

If Del Toro would take a break from rocking so hard he could do it. He briefly touched on it with that Vampire show he EP’d.

Yeah, I feel like the closest we've ever gotten is Lucha Underground and that opening scene from the Neil Marshall Hellboy reboot.

Nah it's bad, and the guy who plays "The Professor" is one of the worst actors I've seen in a while. The last 15 minutes are hilariously off the wall but not really worth the first 90 to get there.

I've said it before but there is rarely a reason for a movie to be over 90 minutes long.

Gene Simmons sucks. Kiss is fine for what it is. Their music and schtick is so out of whack though. Like their music is just catchy dad rock. They're not really metal or particularly demonic.

It always cracked me up that for all the makeup and act they're basically the posers who would get beat up if they went to the real metal concert. I assumed early on that that was the key to their success. You could feel tougher than you do when you listen to Journey but its still safe and won't hurt your ears.

Kiss doesn't claim to be anything close to metal. Its the elitist metalheads who think theyre too cool to enjoy some poppy hard rock and a fun show. Metalheads are the biggest posers.

Keep in mind, KISS has been around a long time, since arguably before metal was a thing. Metal was rising to prominence around the same time that KISS really got going so they just went in a different direction. The way the timeline is I don't think you can say they purposely were trying to do some sort of spin-off of metal.

But I can definitely see the argument that it's developed into part of their appeal though. You get some of the aesthetic of metal but paired with a lighter music. It was probably a perfect combination for some people.

The first Kiss album was what? 72?

The only metal band was Sabbath pretty much.

Yeah, "poser" was definitely a heavier loaded term than I should have used. I forget how much that word means to people who actually use it.

I just meant that discovering them in my life in the 90s it was funny because you see the makeup and spikes and blood and whole thing and think "ok, this is gonna be a lot" and then they actually turn out pretty mellow and the stuff your parents listen to. Which is fine, I don't judge people's music habits unless they're listening to neo nazis or something. And I don't even like metal. But KISS always struck me as that safe middle stage. Whether that was intentional or just a happy turn of fate.

And at that time Sabbath wouldn't have been considered metal either, the first few albums are heavily blues with distortion.
