No Hard Rock, No Zombies, No good Movie
30 August 2002
I have to comment, because this is one is a real waste of time. I collect old horror, and i paid $3 for this gem, that $3 could have went towards a shoe-horn and it would have been better spent. Unfortunately, i really wanted to like this movie, it has a great cover, a great title, and the director has a really cool name. Well, that's the only good praise i can give this one. The movie itself is torture of the worst kind. The "hard rock" is actually just horribly irritating mainstream 80s cheese hair tunes. The zombies are nothing more than the lead characters with white face paint! I mean they could have at least painted their arms and maybe their hands, but no. Also, the "zombies" walk like robots. The plot is basically just a cop-out to sell the love story, which is the lamest love story i have ever had to endure on screen. But i think the highlight, no check that, the "lowlight" of this garbage is that the unintentional humor is forced, and the back of the case boasts that this is an "outlandish thriller that melds the rock beat and stunning visuals of THRILLER with the campy horror/comedy of such cult classics as THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW and BLOODSUCKING FREAKS. When the makers go as far as to advertise the "camp" factor it's usually a good sign to avoid. As for fellow gorehounds, there is nothing to see here, no gore whatsoever, there are killings but they are all off screen. There is blood, but no splatter. There is a midget, i will give you that, but even his cute little soul couldn't help this trash. If you want to see a similar but far superior movie see BLOOD SUCKERS FROM OUTER SPACE. It has far better comedy, much more silly gore, and works with the same budget. 2/10.
