A movie described as a "hell-bent hybrid of horror, black comedy and heavy metal" has won this year's Make My Horror Movie competition and will go into production this year.
Deathgasm, by Weta Digital's Jason Lei Howden, beat out five other entries in the finals to take out the $200,000 prize. Shooting will begin in eight-10 weeks and the movie will be finished by the end of the year.
The film is about two teen boys who "unwittingly summon an ancient evil entity known as The Blind One" by delving into black magic while trying to escape their mundane lives.
"With some of the most inventive and shocking gore ever captured, Deathgasm will gush bodily fluids, rain limbs and tickle your funny bone, before tearing it out and giving you a stiff beating with it," the film's winning pitch said.
Producer Andrew Beattie, who will oversee the film's creation, said Deathgasm screamed "make me".
