"Ring of Darkness" is the first David DeCoteau movie that I've seen. Very much a cornball movie. The plot concerns a boy band that isn't what they seem. Although it's called a horror flick, the horror is pretty low-key, and the production values leave a lot to be desired. I will say that I did like seeing Adrienne Barbeau and Mink Stole in supporting roles.
In conclusion, this isn't the sort of movie that I would recommend making your first choice, unless you're looking for something undeniably cheesy. As for boy bands, I've never liked them. There's a scene in Woody Allen's "Radio Days" (about 1940s radio) where the young protagonist - who I assume is based on Allen himself - expresses his disdain for the era's boy crooners.* When I watched it, I thought "That's what I think of today's boy bands."
*Incidentally, the boy crooner was played by Todd Field, who later co-starred in "Eyes Wide Shut" and went on to direct "In the Bedroom" and "Tar". Like DeCoteau, Field is from my native Portland, Oregon.
