* CastingGag: One of the above cameos is {{Music/Moby}}, an outspoken vegan and animal rights advocate, as Beef Bellows, a musician whose band is called the Secretaries of Steak and who has a gimmick of throwing meat at the audience.

* [[CaliforniaDoubling Toronto Doubling]]: The movie was shot in Toronto only, but the action moves from Toronto, through Buffalo, to New York. You can see that two of the clubs the band plays in (in two different cities, no less) are exactly the same building.

-> '''[[DumbassDJ Rockin' Roger]]:''' You just released a single. What is it?\\
'''Jen:''' It's called "Suck".\\
'''Rockin' Roger:''' I've heard it. It does!
''Suck'' is a Canadian horror comedy about a garage rock band, The Winners, consisting of the singer Joey Winner, guitarist Tyler, bassist Jennifer and drummer Sam. On the night before their tour, Jennifer is seduced and turned into a vampire by [[BigBad Queenie]], the arch-enemy of vampire hunter Eddie Van Helsig. When she reappears before the first show, everything seems to be fine and her performance helps the band gain popularity, but then things go FromBadToWorse...

!! This movie provides examples of:
* AssholeVictim: Rockin' Roger and Beef.
* ActorAllusion: During the flashbacks of Eddie van Helsing, MalcolmMcDowell is easily harking back to his [[Film/AClockworkOrange Alex DeLarge]] days, haircut wise.
* ButtMonkey: Hugo.
* TheCameo: Alex Lifeson from Music/{{Rush}} plays the border guard.
* CoolCar: The band rides in a hearse. Ain't that {{foreshadowing}}.
* CynicalMentor: Victor.
* DumbassDJ: Rockin' Roger. Proves to be TooDumbToLive with the quote above.
* EyepatchOfPower: Eddie van Helsig wears one ''under sunglassess''.
* HorrorHunger: PlayedForLaughs. No, really.
* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: [[spoiler: Queenie. On a guitar.]]
* MushroomSamba: The aptly titled "This Is Your Brain On Drugs" musical number after Joey mistakes extasy for aspirin.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: [[spoiler: Joey accidentally killing Victor.]] TheseHandsHaveKilled included.
* TheRenfield: [[SubvertedTrope Mostly subverted by Hugo the roadie.]] He does agree to cover up the bodies in return for immortality, and at one point eats a fly. But he didn't think that eating the fly would grant him life and he rants about being used by the band. Plus, he already did all their grunt-work when everybody was human.
* ScreamDiscretionShot: When Jen [[GroinAttack goes down on Beef]], the scene is cut to Tyler taking a bite out of a hotdog in the next room. The rest of the band, at Hugo's suggestion, mistake Beef's screams for a TV being too loud.
* ShoutOut: Again a couple.
** Queeny's eyes appearing in the sky during the stop-motion transitions are a reference to Francis Ford Coppola's ''{{Dracula}}''.
** The shot of the band crossing the street is a reference to the cover of Music/TheBeatles' ''Abbey Road''.
** There's a great visual reference to the cover of Music/BruceSpringsteen's ''Born In The USA'' album.
* StockFootage: From ''OLuckyMan''; see TroubledBackstoryFlashback.
* [[CaliforniaDoubling Toronto Doubling]]: The movie was shot in Toronto only, but the action moves from Toronto, through Buffalo, to New York. You can see that two of the clubs the band plays in (in two different cities, no less) are exactly the same building.
* TroubledBackstoryFlashback: Eddie's LostLoveMontage.
* VoiceOfTheLegion: Side-effect of using the vampiric CompellingVoice.
