i have see a slew of 80 rocker horror over the year and from rubbish like terror on tour to ridiculously fun gem like slumber party massacre 2. somehow i manage to keep put this one off and which be strange because it probably the most popular and well receive one . well and i finally catch up with it and it easily the best of this mostly awful ( but almost always endear . ) subgenre . the plot ( which be pretty much lift in the film black rose ) concern a mulleted misfit name eddie and whose ridicule by all in his high school for his taste in music . he love 80 metal and especially his idol sammi curr ( play by the late great tony field . ) after sammi be kill and eddie favorite radio dj give him sammi final recording . once eddie play the record backwards and he discover he a bit tough and and bad thing start happen to those who taunt him . be sammi music possess . trick or treat be well make and a total hoot . the special effect be awesome and even though it do feature the typical 80 laser beam . i grow up in the 80 and and while i wasn not a fan of heavy metal and i do remember the urban legend about play a record backwards hear the sound of satan worshipping . haha . i also remember be tell by my old sibling and neighbor that both kiss and ozzy worship satan and so it very amuse to see them both make cameo a a harmless radio dj and a anti rock priest . if only i have see this film a a kid . while the film seem to poke fun at the popular connection in the 80 between allege devil worship and heavy metal and the viewer never really find out why sammi curr be back from the dead create havoc and kill whoever get in his way . this be movie weak point and but if you can overlook that and it load of fun .
