Review: The film is a real classic and cult film. Gene Simmons and Ozzy Osbourne are featured in minor roles, and the leading role is by Marc Price who starred as geeky Erwin ‘Skippy’ Handleman on the popular 80’s comedy sitcom Family Ties. The movie itself features great cheesy effects and an amazing soundtrack. This film was made to capitalize on the PMRC attacks and claims that heavy metal was evil and causing all kinds of social problems at the time. A very prominent feature of the movie is the existence of backwards messages hidden in the music, something that was often allegeded to be true at the time in many mainstream metal albums and/or songs. All songs in the movie are written by the band “Fastway” which consisted of former Motorhead Guitarist “Fast” Eddie Clarke, and current “Flogging Molly” vocalist Dave King.

This movie is a skull full of righteous 80’s teen angst horror. I was just a freshman in high school when this came out, and when I saw it, the music lodged itself into a corner of my young impressionable mind. I was singing the soundtrack in my head all during classes instead of listening to the teacher’s drone. This awesome flick has stuck with me all these years…so do yourself a favor, and watch it.
