Simon Calow (Four Weddings and a Funeral) is

Simon Calow (Four Weddings and a Funeral) is Professor Oliver Haddo, a Cambridge scholar who is reprogrammed by a virtual reality machine into becoming the avatar for the spirit of Aleister Crowley. Now, more than fifty years after his death, Crowley begins his search for a scarlet woman to be part of his next working. It was directed by Julian Doyle, who edited Brazil, Life of Brian, The Meaning of Life and Time Bandits. He's also directed music videos for Kate Bush and made Iron Maiden's "Can I Play With Madness?" video. Speaking of Maiden, he co-wrote this with their lead singer, Bruce Dickinson, and two of his songs ("Chemical Wedding" and "Book of Sorrows") and two Maiden songs (the aforementioned "Madness" and "The Wicker Man") are on the soundtrack. I learned from this movie that we live in the world where Satan is in charge, that you can fax sperm and that even a movie with this much nudity and depravity can be slightly lame. I wanted to love this and it got close, so close, but it's charitably a complete mess.

It's low budget and not a masterpiece, but an interesting watch, if you're a fan of Bruce Dickinson and familiar with Aleister Crowley. The Soundtrack is amazing.

Chemical Wedding is a mediocre horror film that

Chemical Wedding is a mediocre horror film that had the potential of being so much more than what it turned out to be. The script was written by Iron Maiden lead vocalist Bruce Dickinson and though he had some interesting ideas that were displayed in the film, there weren't fully fleshed out, and therefore the film suffered from lacking anything truly entertaining in the long run. Fortunately Bruce is a great singer and he fronts a great band that makes some of the best heavy metal music. With Chemical Wedding, this is a film that simply relies too much on bland performances, and has a script that just doesn't use its ideas to the fullest. What follows is a movie that simply isn't entertaining and it ends up being boring. I really wanted to enjoy the film because I am a diehard Iron Maiden fan, and Bruce Dickinson is one of my favorite singers, unfortunately he lacks the chops to write a really good script and therefore the film just ends up being a waste of time. Chemical Wedding is not an awful film, it's just a film that never attains its potential, ands the story is interesting, but it never goes in depth, and you feel there could have been so much more out of the film. If you're expecting a good horror film, you'll sadly be disappointed. Chemical Wedding is one of those films that is underdeveloped and relies on a poorly thought script that ruins its ideas by not having a fully thought out script. Add to that a cast that are ridiculous in their parts and you have a film that just suffers from the first frame onwards. At least Bruce Dickinson's cameo is sure to delight Iron Maiden fans, but for the rest, this will be a tedious film to sit through.
