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.
