Metalhead
Directed by Ragnar Bragason
An intense drama of loss, faith, redemption, Megadeth and Judas Priest. It begins with a farming accident in the 1980s that sends a young girl, Hera, and her parents into a tail-spin of grief over the death of her heavy metal-obsessed older brother. A decade later and Hera is transformed into a sexy, surly headbanger and DIY musician, clutching her dead brother's guitar as she howls anthems of rage to a barn full of cows. Seemingly trapped in a haunted landscape, Hera painfully comes to terms with her family's loss and the sound of her own true voice.
An intense drama of loss, faith, redemption, Megadeth and Judas Priest.

Solid movie, though pretty anything set in Iceland gets a boost because its such an interesting and beautiful place. I'd give it 4.5 if that were an option. Really enjoyed it, and I am definitely not a metalhead.
Very moving and kinda deep. Loved it, Horns way up!
It is a good story of how music can help heal, some music is just better at it then others! Horns Up!
This movie might make you cry. It’s really sad, but beautiful. It’s a drama, not horror. I’m glad I watched it, because I rarely watch a movie with subtitles. I definitely recommend it.
Not horror but still a good one.
