Amateurish and poorly made. Cheesy music. John Carpenter must be desperate for money if he's willing to be a participant in such a shoddy film as this. He basically adds nothing to the movie and looks bored by what he is blathering. The "musicians" that are featured are a bunch of third rate synth hacks who make uninteresting, tedious, derivative music influenced by 1980s culture and music, which is completely pointless. But the no-names act as if they are great and wonderful artists who are gifting the world with musical treasures, when all they offer is about as worthwhile and interesting as dog vomit. One of the worst, most embarrassingly bad documentaries I've ever seen.
