Disapointment

This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

It seems to me that Z-grade features like Black Roses would be a lot of fun to make. Signing up for this project (as a cast member) you would get to do one of the following: wear scary make-up and play monster, rock out or show off body parts. And because the script is everything but demanding, and there are no studio heads making deadlines for the project, There is never much pressure involved. As enjoyable as the filmaking experience may have been, It is a bore to watch.It is hard to get away with being deliberately cheesy. A tiny handful of films with names that include Killer Klowns from Outer Space, work exceptionally well as a satirical throwback the days of Ed Wood. Black Roses could just as easily be looked at as a high campy throwback of a movie, but unlike Killer Klowns, this one is likely to draw your attention away from the screen and towards the exit sign.Only a moron could ask for professionalism in something like this. Even if you set your expectations low, Black roses is still disappointing. Is it too much to ask for a little humour in what is supposed to be part comedy I think. Black Roses is a case of a movie that sells a funny idea. It reads well, but the end product is highly insufficient. I may have laughed in two or three places (but that's it).the majority of laughter in Black Roses is more likely to be unintentional, like the shakiness of the picture in all the wide shots. There must have been a loose bolt on the camera crane. I've seen video productions that draw less attention to themselves. Seriously who was operating the camera?There is a reason why Z-Grade movies have earned such a name. I've seen a few which are entertaining, but Black Roses is not among them.

What a fun movie!This is one of those few horror movies out there that was based on Hard Rock music...the others being Hard Rock Zombies, Trick Or Treat and Rockin Roll Nightmare!This one has a bunch of demonic hard rockers coming to a town called Mill Basin to perform a concert.The adults of the town fear that the music might be bad for the children... and boy were they right!This film like so many other eighties horror films, has some really cool rock music...one of the best being "Road To Paradise" which the band plays on their first concert in the town.There's is also some pretty neat special effects...although their only really good in a fun way... i mean...they don't look realistic or anything but they're still enjoyable! This movie also has Sal Viviano as the lead rock singer of the band who has a really eighties "fine" haired mullet...some of the eighties fashions in this movie will give you a few chuckles but it just adds to the fun fell of the film! Some people might remember Sal Viviano as having starred in The Jitters...which was an insane but equally enjoyable Japanese based horror film!Watch out for the part where Mattthew the high school teacher is attacked by a cool looking demon at the end...it will give you a couple of laughs!!!Rent it for sure!!!

I like the movie even though it is cheesy. I remember it from when I was little. There should have been more nude scenes. Ha Ha. Any way's, I wanna know if there is one singer or are there many. If any one knows please write back, and who are they?

A rock n' roll band from hell turns a small town inside out when the music possesses the kids of the town folk and turns them into lethal killers. The tape box praises the special effects, but whoever wrote that description must have been watching another film, because the special effects are no better then the amatuer level production values and acting.
