Grey Metal
is a psychological horror film: a young heavy metal fan thinks he is
possessed by a devil. Maybe he is. Or maybe it's something else ...
Nathaniel's
mother mysteriously disappeared when he was 9 years old. Ever since
he has retreated deeper into the netherland of heavy metal music. It's
his own private dream world; a way to avoid the problems of everyday
life. His vicious father, Jayce makes Nat's life hell. And Nat is stuck
at home with no job. No money. No car. As he becomes increasingly isolated
in an outer-suburban wasteland, he starts to hear voices in the subsonic
drone of household appliances: they urge him toward desperate acts.
Nat starts to believe he is becoming demonically possessed. At first
he is scared by this - until he meets an older woman, Alannah with whom
he has a psychic connection. Nat discovers that not all possession is
evil. With the help of supernatural forces, he embarks to fight the
real demon in his life ...
