    Storyline

    Edit
    At an old farmhouse, a family mysteriously dissapears at the hands of evil. Years later, hair metal band The Tritons comes to the farmhouse, whose barn now features a 24-track recording studio. Lead singer John Triton gets the band to perform their first night in the farmhouse after dinner, and weird little beasties suddenly appear, and strange things start to happen. Band members (and their tag along girlfriends) begin to act strangely and vanish one by one. Soon, only John Triton remains, and he holds a secret. Finally, the evil shows itself and a battle between heaven and hell ensues.... —Chris Rutkowski <rcd1215@mail.purduenc.edu>

    • Quotes

      John Triton: [losing his patience] You're wasting my time, bub.

      Demon: This is incredible! It is almost no fun to kill one so stupid as to not know who it is that slays him! You are in my domain, and I will kill you as I have killed your pitiful friends!

      John Triton: [annoyed] Aw, you killed no one, bub!

      Demon: WHAAAT?

      John Triton: Or is it less familiar to call you Beelzebub? Or do you prefer Abaddon; or as the Hindus called you, Shaitan; or as you are known to answer to, Ahriman? Belial? Apollyon? Asmodeus? Because, you see... I *do* know you.

    You can enjoy this...
    If you don't take this movie as the new "Psycho" or "Rosemarie Baby" you can have a good time watching "Rock n roll nightmare". This is one of those movies that achieve cult-status as "So bad that are funny" like the infamous and great "Troll 2". The rocker Thor is the lead here. The plot is about a rockn roll band in some house that are attacked one by one by demons. This demons are very cheap and stupid-looking puppets. The bad thing in this one is that most of the killings are off-screen and there isn't enough nudity. Not the perfect party movie IMHO but a good one to have a laugh with friends and lots of booze.
