Basically, the set-up is the singer of a hair metal group goes nuts and kills some people (only two on-screen, but later on, they say 25??). He gets sent to the electric chair, and the singer’s ex-girlfriend starts the band back up again. Only trouble is, the ’80s-handsome singer is still out to get her… even though he’s dead! The acting is painfully bad, especially the mumbling, uncharismatic killer character. 45 minutes in the middle consist only of a woman swearing Billy “Eye” is back from the dead and people telling her she’s crazy. No other characters do anything the entire film, and the body count is surprisingly low. The first 70 minutes are honestly really hard to get through.<\/p>\n
If you make it to the end, you’re treated with a killer performance scene by Sorcery (better known for STUNT ROCK), some fun kills and some catchy hair metal tunes. But ten good minutes out of ninety is not enough, and I would recommend all but the biggest ’80s metal\/horror fans give this one a hard pass. Check out TRICK OR TREAT or ROCK ‘N’ ROLL NIGHTMARE to see this sub-genre done right.<\/p>\n
