Skinopsis

If you're into either heavy metal or low-budget splatter effects, then it's a good bet that you'll dig Heavy Mental. At least, that is, if you have a tolerance for crappy, grainy video quality. But what's a little crappy video with all the splatterific goodness that this flick's got in store.

The story follows a hapless nerdy metal dudes with two gay dads who's dreaming of winning the battle of the bands. Problem is, there's a sexy evil crime boss lady with lots of beautiful henchladies out to kill off every metalhead in town and shake down all the good small business owners of Detroit. Luckily, our hapless hero's just gotten his hands on a guitar that's possessed by the spirit of a dead metal icon who gives pep talks to the main dude and helps him transform into Heavy Mental, a heavy metal superhero with a serious knack for extreme violence and rocking an outfit that looks like it was picked up from the reject pile of a Gwar video.

The gratuitous highlights of this loving ode to gore, superheroes and metal goodness are a nice head-crushing scene, a gruesome disembowelment, a decapitation or two and a whole heap of flowing blood. Addirionally, this sweet & innocent blonde gets forced tro show her A cups to one of the evil crime boss lady's henchwomen. So, there's that too.
