As depraved as this movie is, I think it's great! Anyone who thinks this movie sucks needs to lighten up a little bit and get a sense of humor. I thought is was very intertaining. Yes, some of the movie was a bit over the top, but that's what makes it fun!

I literally flew across the continent (from St. John's, Newfoundland to San Francisco, California) to attend the first screening of Live Freaky! Die Freaky! I even booked the first 2 tickets to the show. Disappointed, I was not. Mingling with John Roecker (director) and members of Rancid and AFI, entering the decrepit-looking Roxy theater on the "Helter Skelter" carpet, and sitthing through the most outrageous dark comedy I've ever seen was the time of my life. Green Day's Billie Joe (my idol, for the record) was superb as the voice of Charles "Hanson", his shameless, sexual, shock-value comedy kept me in stitches, along with AFI's Davey Havok's portrayal of Sharon "Hate's" very gay hair stylist. The film does have a lack of taste, but we were all warned, so people need not complain if they choose to see it. Personaly, I loved how the entire audience would switchs from laughing hysterically to groaning with disgust (and I'm pretty sure they did, too). Basically, this is a risque, dark, shocking movie that is not for the blue collar working man (or his pretty wife). However, if you like to see people pushing the envelope and doing something completely out of whack (but still trying to make a point), then please give this movie a chance. It has gotten some rotten reviews, just remember you are your own best critic.

Love it!!!! Very sick....if your easily offended dont watch. But then again if your buying this you already know what your getting into...lmao...ENJOY!!!!!!!

I don't care how punk rock this film is. I love punk and I'm a fan of Tim Armstrong and AFI. However, this film is the worst thing I've ever paid to see. I was at the San Francisco premiere and it was nice meeting everyone involved in the movie. When it came to watching the movie itself, I was completely disappointed. I like indie films, stupid humor, and the concept of DIY as much as the next person. However, this film was just done in such poor taste. The editing is terrible. The story is hard to follow. There's almost nothing I like about the movie. The only real funny part is hearing Davey Havok of A.F.I. be the voice of the gay hairstylist. Other than that, I wouldn't recommend that anyone buy this. Try to borrow it from someone else if you can help it. It's not worth $21.99. To be honest, I'd give it less than 1 star if I could but that's the lowest that the rating will go.

This movie is only for people who have so many cult-classics, that they need something new.
When a work of art shocks with the intention of teaching a lesson, it can shine. When it shocks with the intention of shocking, it loses all artisic value. The majority of the shock in Live Freaky, Die Freaky is just there to shock.
I did give it two stars though, so I have to justify that. I think that the premise of this movie was a good starting point for what could have been a brilliant, if not corny and bloody cult classic. It just didn't deliver.
There are a few people who will enjoy the movie. I'm not critisizing them. They will enjoy it for the punk voices (that's what had me interested), and the silliness. There's nothing wrong with that.

this is one of the most obscene movies I've ever seen. Offensive to the very core, and more than slightly disturbing. But over all it is an amazing movie. Though I suggest you read Helter Skelter before watching it (It makes it even funnier) It's still awesome without knowing much about the Manson Murders.

This movie is not for the weak at heart

If possible I would have given this movie a 2.5 but a 3 will do. Let me start off by saying that this movie, is well....Freaky. The stop motion animation isn't the greatest but the kind of people that will watch this movie probably won't care. The music is the best part of it, it's also the reason I bought it. It's all star cast includes punkers such a Billy Joe Armstrong, Tim Armstrong, Davey Havok, and many more. The story is pretty much of a man trying to decide if he, being a godless nomad, should worship Charles Manson when he finds the book Helter Skelter.

The story is sub-par and the acting is pretty bad and the script is that filled with gay jokes and swear words. As said before, not for the easily offended. I've had this movie for maybe around a month and I've only watched it twice. Once on my own and once with a friend. It's not something I plan on watching again for lesuire. But it is a fun movie to say you own. So 3 stars. Have a nice day.

this movie is the best claymation movie i've ever seen if you like the show robot chicken you'll love this

This movie is the absolute best f*!$ing film ever! It's basically a horribly politically incorrect interpretation of the Charles Manson murders, all from The Family's point of view. "Do you have a taste for sex and blood and hate, or really good LSD?" Then this movie is definitely for you! I watch and quote this all the time, and my friends hate me for it!!!

Ok..enough with the "Red State" reviews..this film is brilliant !!..and hello people!..its supposed to be offensive and in bad taste ! John Roecker delves into the depths of pop culture with great zeal and comes up with a hilarious social commentary on media obsession. Everything works here from the witty songs to the re-imagining of all those claymation characters from those holiday specials from the 60s and 70s, who in this film have turned onto the Brady Bunch from hell better known as The Manson Family. Roecker drops quite a few symbolic messages in this film if youre smart enough to catch them, its not just a gross out film..this is an artist saying something about the enviroment he sees. I feel we all have a sick and twisted side to ourselves and I think John Roecker is just one of the brave who is willing to show it. So call him sick or twisted I don't care , I think there is a little John Roecker in everyone, and hes destined to be up there with the great Andy Warhol and John Waters if his visions keep up like this.
