I liked it a lot when it first came out, but you're right, I don't think it aged well. There are some really cool parts in it, but it's inconsistent and by the end it's kind of a cheeseball movie.

I did! Saw it several times as a kid, but it seems to have fallen to obscurity.

Goddamnit, this is death metal; NOT black metal. And they've been around for years. Birdseeds of Vengeance kicked ass. They're awesome.
