Wal-Mart Renames Deathgasm

When did stores get the power to change the names of horror films to better suit their opinion of what consumers will find okay? Wal-Mart has done it again. The last film they renamed was A Christmas Horror Story, which they changed to A Holiday Horror Story. Now, Deathgasm has fallen to the big-chain store. The movie will now be known as Heavy Metal Apocalypse, censorship at it’s finest (insert eye-roll) . Yes, you read that right. What is so offensive about the title “Deathgasm“? Nothing, in my opinion. I have to wonder, will they will start re-writing books next? Where does it end? No matter if you’re a metal-head or just a regular horror fan, Deathgasm will rock you. This is a fast paced, brutal, but hilarious horror flick is one you don’t want to miss.
