From their elaborate costumes to a mythology describing them as “scumdogs of the universe” banished to the shittiest planet available, it’s safe to call GWAR one-of-a-kind. Founded in the 1980s in Richmond, Virginia, the heavy-metal band could’ve been a mere gag yet they brought the skill and talent to back up their aesthetic. Director Scott Barber’s documentary is a love letter to this group that spends their concerts dousing their audiences in fake semen and blood.
