It's no denying this movies a cult classic of the 80s to many. It's basically a time capsule of that period When heavy metal ruled MTV & parents thought of it as the devil's music. Having that concept as a horror movie is ridiculous yet entertaining as hell. This film has many flaws. Sammi Curr is a cool villain but doesn't seem to have a motivation. There's also a scene he turns to this salamander looking creature but never does anything like that happen again. Eddie getting bullied though relatable also feels abit cliche. There are also moments that drag abit. Plus depending on what copy of the movie you have you may see a film mistake like a boom mic leaning down in one scene. Despite the flaws it's a rockin Fun Time. The soundtrack by the band Fastway is especially excellent & not a dull song to be found. There's posters of bands like Twisted Sister, Anthrax, & Judas Priest all around the movie they'll really appeal to Metal fans like myself. Not to mention rock legends Gene Simmons and Ozzy Osbourne have cameos. Ozzy playing a reverend on TV criticizing heavy metal is comedy gold. Worth checking out especially if horror & heavy metal is your thing!
