Rock 'n' Roll Nightmare

lol wut

A waking nightmare so loaded with cheese you're likely to drown. Yet, wedged somewhat loosely in between rampant Coca Cola product placement (despite obviously not receiving any money from Coca Cola) and a soundtrack that sounds eerily like the Brinstar area from Super Metroid is a scene that will scar one's soul for an eternity. Never before have I seen a cameraman so eager to film a showerhead instead of the actors during a bathroom sex scene...but was surprisingly relieved each time he did.

This movie was so bad it made me laugh/grimace numerous times. From plot to direction to exectuion - it was all horrible.

I often wonder why I do this to myself and honestly I don't know.

There is almost literally nothing to recommend this movie. The acting is nonexistent, the effects are pathetic, the sound is poor, the songs aren't worth hearing anyway, and the events that occur throughout the story are frequently nonsensical. Fun to make fun of with friends, and that's about it.

bad but funny. intro is like 10 minutes of watching a van drive down a road

Another bad combo of crappy rock music and worse horror, this features Ghoulie-like puppet demons, Evil Dead-inspired camera placement, and muscle-head rocker wannabe Thor as a hero who dresses more like a Chippendale's dancer than a musician. Yech!

Assemblage of pop music personalities being thrown together to do battle with a haunted house demon is fun in an amateurish sort of way (I like the flagrant Elton John impersonator), but once it's clear that we are in one of those slashers where the cast slowly get whittled away, it simply becomes an exercise in marking time until the final confrontation, which is just silly and cheesy enough to redeem this from bottom-of-the-barrel purgatory.

Top badass moment? John Triton must be the most boring rock ‘n’ roll badass around, as he spends most of his time worrying about the washing-up. At one point, one of the Devil’s minions had the sense to switch off the tape player on the kitchen window sill after killing someone who was busy washing up. I’d not want to take over the world either (or whatever it was he actually wanted to do), with that appalling, dated rock playing in the background. No cats, chainsaws or decapitations.

So bad it's kinda funny. The end fight was ridiculous.

The batshit nuts ending makes it all worth it.
