I love my fun, schlocky 80s heavy metal/punk rock horror and this absolutely delivered. The costume of Damian was so good, but I wish he had more screen time.

Lots of things to like about this film. Lots of things to dislike. The practical effects were nice even if the kills were just okay. The second half of the film is really interesting and great but the film does tend to drags in some areas. Lots of 80s glam and the soundtrack is really good. It's a bad movie but it's made by passionate filmmakers so it's a fun bad movie. It's a satire film based on the beliefs people had back then on rock and roll brainwashing their kids into wrong beliefs and the film does really get silly in showing that off. Lots of weird moments though. Main character felt like it was based on tom atkins and the person playing him sorta looked like tom atkins. The fucking scene where the teens started turning into skeleton like things had me laughing my ass off. Such a fun movie. Gotta love a troma classic. Had to fight between 2 1/2 stars vs 3 stars. The movie is definitely 50/50 on things that were good and things that were bad but I'm gonna give it that extra 1/2 star because it's just one of those bad but silly movies that I personally really enjoy
