I'm on the side on the nay-sayers here.
Generic heavy metal music, a lot happening in darkness, and a whole lot of cliche. It's not a TERRIBLE movie, but it's also certainly nothing above the ordinary. I can enjoy heavy music just fine, the music itself is not my beef here, but the whole "heavy metal = satan" is crap. It's just lazy. There's no real suspense, we can't see anything, and cool tattooed dad paints butterflies with kids' faces and many-eyed goats and all that = scary satan stuff, is just tedious. Andy Williams songs would have been more jarringly disconcerting. (OK, maybe not a great choice.) Nah, sorry. From 2015, give me Bone Tomahawk, The Witch, We are Still Here, Green Room, The Lure, and even The Visit, before ever even thinking about this one. I know, I know, to each his own etc. Of course.
