Evil Kiss-type rock star Sammi Curr (Tony Fields) returns from the dead when one of his biggest fans, Marc Price, plays his last unreleased album backwards. At first Price caters to every murderous whim the shock rocker's spirit demands, until he realises he's being duped by the Devil. A tedious and adolescent heavy metal comedy-horror it features head-bangers Ozzie Osbourne and Gene Simmons in cameo roles and is perfunctorily directed by Charles Martin Smith, the nerd in American Graffiti. There's the obligatory ludicrous rubber demons and a killer toilet. Yes, a killer toilet! Trick or treat? Mainly trick.

Entertaining But No Blood And Guts I'm Afraid
I first watched this movie over 10 years ago and thought it was great. Now a little older and wiser i thought this movie was pretty dated in terms of special effects and in all honesty, pretty slow and plodding.
It tells the story of a bullied rock star fan who brings his rock star idol back from the dead to get revenge on those who bullied him - not quite as bad as it sounds.
If you're looking for blood and guts then avoid this film, if you want some light entertainment with little shocks or scares then watch it! It doesn't really warrant an 18 certificate either. -

Only the hairstyles are scary
It's a horror film about '80s heavy metal, so I naturally assumed this was going to be tongue-in-cheek. It's actually very earnest, which makes it unintentionally hilarious. The metal lead singer is a particular chuckle, putting in one of the most OTT performances I've seen in a while. However the idea- an EEEEVIL, er, demo tape isn't exactly spine-tingling.
Possibly worth an ironic glance if you were once in to 80s metal, and for the curio value of the cameos by Ozzy and Gene Simmons. -
