Best movie of this year hands down!

A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

Rock 'n' Roll Nightmare starts off with a van driving around for what seems like the length of two films, then a whole bunch of nothing happens until we get a hilarious shower sequence with Thor and some (how do I put this nicely?) not very attractive woman. Then nothing continues to happen, but bad filmmaking and untamable hair until we reach the epic final ten minutes. The finale is why this film has more than just the cast and crew remember it. You might as well fast forward to the jaw dropping display of Satan and puppets vs Thor, because it reaches heights so terrible they become a perfect creation of pure awful. I'd like to think that tongue was in cheek when this sequence was filmed ('filmed' seems like such a complicated word for what's on display here), but I think cocaine was in nose instead. There's no point in describing a visual experience that's bound to have you spit your beer/whiskey across the across the room or send you into a coughing fit from whatever drug you're smoking or dislocate your shoulder from pointing at the screen laughing. 'What were they thinking' doesn't apply here - 'what were they on' does.

Its an amazingly bad movie-that goes without question. I mean look at the insane cover-art. It begs the question "Why was this movie made?". Here's a curve-ball, The protagonist is named John Triton, but is played by actor John Mikal Thor, the fake name sounds more real than the actor's real name. I would describe this as a exhausted movie, in that it sort of stumbles along preoccupied with getting to that place where it can just lie down and sleep it off. I hope there is a documentary film about how this movie got made and why this movie got made because I imagine it would be like the doc Heart Of Darkness is for Apocalypse Now. Watching this movie initiates you into the sacred order of Rock'n'roll, yeah!

The only reason I'm voting this movie at 10 is because it's so delightfully terrible. If you have an IQ of 5 you will find this movie quite insulting to your intelligence - its THAT bad. The film crew probably grabbed random people off the street to act in this lousy excuse for a horror flick. But what do you expect when the entire movie was made on a budget of $5.56p.The acting almost seems deliberately bad as if the actors aren't taking it seriously, and some of the dialog is so stomach-churningly cheesy it will make you cringe.Lets talk about the actual charactersJohn Triton: is a smug mullet bearing drag-queen on steroids and is the lead singer of the rock band and 'undercover' archangel.Randy: is Tritons horny wife, who is like a child when she doesn't get what she wants.Stig: is the drummer for the band and Jim Cirile who plays him is trying to put on either a Cockney, Aussie, or South African accent which suddenly fades away in his last scene. What ever accent it is, he's clearly boll*cks at it.Max and Dee Dee: are two complete space cadets who have been in the band for an unknown length of time but suddenly fall madly in love, spend the whole time fantasizingly gawping at each other until they finally get down to business.Roger and Mary: are newly weds who insist on drilling the fact they are actually married into everybody's heads and have a past-time for washing up.Phil: the bands nerdy manager who is FULL of annoying puns.So that's them, and none of them can act to save their lives, but equally amusing is the awful use of special effects, some of which are literally sock puppets and play dough starfish (brilliant)!The storyline is non existent, the music is corny and Tritons outfits are horrendous. If you're rehearsing why would you need to dress up? Triton thinks necessary and changes his outfit for each song (polka dot dress to name one).This is an incredibly tedious movie, but something makes you hungry to keep watching. What gets me is that absolutely nobody decides to run when they spot one of the monsters, instead they just stare and scream.There's a van sequence which lasts about 8 Min's, there's a skeleton which comes out of an extremely powerful household oven burnt to a crisp and the camera remains focused on it for about 2 Min's, Randy pulling back the curtains to see Triton outside takes about 4 Min's, and the sock monster dribbling in Phils coffee takes a good half hour. The rest of the movie is of mild porn, cheesy music and washing dishes until the final confrontation.!!!Triton in his spiked rubber Speedos vs Satan at his 'inflatable' dribbling best. Triton the Archangel kills Satan with a 'sparkler'!The movie ends with Triton saying 'see you again old scratch'.Most Annoying Character Award goes to; Randy, who you'll just want to punch, believe me. Worst Australian Accent goes to; Stig, who's attempt is unbelievably fake. Cheesiest Line goes to; Triton - 'Let's tune our weapons'. Ugliest Character Award goes to; Dee Dee (could have played a monster).Seeing is believing, and you probably still won't believe it once you've seen it.Verdict; just get it, even if you don't like bad movies. Everyone should see this movie if only once. It's complete and utter dog sh*t, but it's incredibly funny if you don't take it seriously.

Undoubtedly one of the most pointless and annoying trends in the world of 80's cinema were the horror/hard rock music hybrids. Presumably inspired by the success of "Heavy Metal" (1981), the eighties spawned a whole series of movies in which untalented and ridiculous looking rock band members suddenly found themselves trapped in all sorts of horrific situations like zombie infested little towns, cannibalistic mountain families, demoniacally possessed farmhouses etc… "Rock & Roll Nightmare" is just one of them, but there's also "Blood Tracks", "Terror on Tour", "Black Roses", "Rocktober Blood" and "Hard Rock Zombies". The problem with these movies, however, is that they are terrible for all the obvious reasons. The already thin and derivative story lines are too frequently interrupted to show integral clips of atrocious rock songs, the players are goofy looking amateur musicians without any form of acting skills, budgetary restrictions left right and center, incredibly cheesy special effects and zero amount of suspense. This particular dud, written as well as produced and starring the unimaginably pompous Jon Mikl Thor, plays in an entirely separate league of awful, though. The pre-credits opening sequence is the best part of the whole film, but it promptly goes downhill from there onwards. One windy morning at a secluded countryside farm, a mother calls her husband and young son down for breakfast but she senses there's a sinister presence floating around her kitchen. Only a few moments later the father and son discover the heavily burned and mutilated woman inside the oven. Albeit pretty cheesy and totally random, this intro falsely raises the impression of being the start of a good old-fashioned 80's horror gem, but you seriously shouldn't get your hopes up. The exaggeratedly overlong and boring sequence showing only a white van driving up to the farm already makes it pretty clear that Jon Mikl Thor didn't have much of a story to tell. This is the sort of scene that you use to display the credits, but they already did that prior, so the van's journey actually qualifies as padding footage and we're barely five minutes into the film. Thor is the lead singer/songwriter of a band called The Tritons, and he ordered his fellow band members and their girlfriends to the remote farmhouse – which has a completely operational recording studio set up in the barn – to rehearse and record a new album as well as practice their podium act. Triton's posse exists of a bunch of imbeciles, including a nerdy producer, a drummer with a horrendously fake Australian accent and a couple of very much in love newlyweds (very rock & roll, you guys!). Luckily for everybody, it only takes a couple of stupid rocks songs before the demonic forces get fed up with the band's presence and start taking over their personalities. "Rock & Roll Nightmare" is a boring and soporific ordeal with absolutely nothing recommendable in it. Over 75% of the film is irrelevant and shameless padding footage, mainly extravagant stage acts and gratuitous soft-core sex sequences, and the actual "evil forces" plot is underdeveloped. The special effects are pitiable, with cute one-eyed demon monsters that look more like cartoon characters and a disappointing lack of bloodshed. Director John Fasano often attempts to imitate the classic "The Evil Dead", especially through hectic camera motions up the stairs and uncanny sound effects, but actually this turkey doesn't even deserve to mentioned in one and the same sentence with Sam Raimi's classic. Joh Mikl Thor and his rock buddies are imbeciles with hideous outfits and embarrassing hairstyles, and their movie should disappear into oblivion. Apparently there's also a belated sequel called "Intercessor: Another Rock & Roll Nightmare"… Excuse me for not ever going to watch that.
