Ring of Darkness (2004)

Boy band Take 10 hold open auditions for a new lead singer after theirs disappears. Shawn, a guy who is so serious about music that he carries a guitar over his shoulder everywhere he goes, is pressured into auditioning for the band by his new girlfriend.

He is chosen as one of three finalists invited to the band's mansion where the finalists will compete for the lead singer position. The band must decide between the singing and dancing stylings of Max (an undercover newspaper reporter doing an article), Jonah (an enthusiastic singer who really wants to be part of the band), and Shawn (a disinterested guy with a bad attitude who wants to play his own songs).

While the manager loves Shawn, one of the guys in the band keeps having trouble with him and states that "we don't need someone who's going to make waves or ask questions." Yes, so let's pick the guy who has an edge. He's trouble. He doesn't care about the band and that makes him appealing to girls.

When the band reels off the long list of what they expect from a new member, they note that they demand perfection. But when they break into a dance routine, it's obvious that their synchronized dance steps are off. Oh boy....

Take 10 may seem like your typical boy band, but there is something drastically wrong with them - and not the typical argument that they're in a boy band. At night they don sunglasses and walk in slow motion through the fog while a dance beat plays. Like many of David DeCoteau's films, the walking goes on and on and on, running the gamut from fast motion to slowmo. It's pretty annoying.

The movie has some full length songs and videos which you'll have to suffer through. Also at the end, I'm not really sure what they are supposed to be. Zombies? Monsters? What are they?
