Zeckenkommando vs. Cthulhu (2015)

I was searching for kaiju films on Tubi and ended up finding this film, featuring Zeckencommando, ‘Lower Saxony’s most hardcore punk band,’ as they stumble into occult rituals involving Cthulu.

Kalle (director and writer Lars Henriks), Xena (Lea Ostrovskiy), Flash (Niklas Bähnk) and Titus (Phillip Spreen) mostly sit around, take drugs and occasionally play their instruments. Henriks claimed on Letterboxd that this film, “has the silliness of a Scooby-Gang-type gang of misfits stumbling into a huge adventure.”

The band learns that their landlady is selling their rehearsal space to an investor with no interest in preserving musical culture. That investor does have a lot to do with the occult roots of the Third Reich and getting Cthulu back to life. Hopefully, the band can stay together and address all their interpersonal dynamics.

Don’t expect anything other than a hangout movie, and you’ll be fine.

You can watch this on Tubi.
