Awful, Yet Brilliant
Added 4/22/2006
Everything you have read is true. This movie is simply awful as far as plot, acting, and effects are concerned. Yet somehow, it manages to be enjoyable all the same. Yes, it features Traci Lords, which is perhaps its main claim to fame (or infamy). Her acting is, shall we say, unremarkable. You know you are watching high quality when you would actually rather not see the women who do the nude scenes get nude. I also bet you did not know that Stephen Quadros (Angel Martin) is a highly respected martial arts expert who has helped choreograph scenes for actors like Jet Li.
Basically the appeal of this movies is how well it encapsulates all the sterotypes of 80's fashion and hair metal. This is not Spinal Tap by any means, but most of its charm is because it was viewed by guys in their early and late teens who enjoyed the Metal God Cinderella tale (with Faustian overtones), while yearning for a glimpse of Traci Lords in all her glory (all were disappointed in this wish). The main fans of this movie are now approaching or in their 30's but the nostalgia remains. The fact that it often aired on Cinemax or HBO just prior to Headbangers Ball should give an indication as to some of the audience. I was one of them.

Just see it

This is by far the WORST movie ever made. So bad no description could possibly do it any justice.

Brilliant 1980's "B" Horror Movie
Added 6/9/2004
Since the first time I saw this, I have been an avid fan of this over looked, would-be "Cult Classic". The story line is typical. A down trodden and geeky youth, sells his soul to the local voodoo priestess, and in turn gains incredible Electric Guitar skills, A fancy house with three other equally cursed women, who also sold their souls for various reasons, and a position in a rising Metal Band, "Spastic Colon". The name of the Band alone is awesome! The catch is, he must feed on the living to keep his powers and immortality. There is a minor dramatic love-conflict, in that he desires "the other Girl", in this case played by Traci Lords. It is a fun movie to watch with a beer in your hand, and to just get your mind off of things.
This movie is hilarious if you approach it with the attitude you do all "B" Horror films.

SEX,DRUGS,AND ROCK'N'ROLL!!!
Added 5/7/1999
If you like girls in leather,guitar solos,and gratuitous death scenes than this is the movie for you.It's straight out of the eighties and the thing that surpised me the most was that Traci Lords accualy kept her clothes on!Don't worry though it has lots of groupie scences were they just can't seem to keep their clothes on.The main charector has to eat people to stay alive so it's a cannibalistic gorefest threw most of the movie.I would recommened this film to anyone with a good sense of humor and everyone who has ever dreamed of what it would be like to be a rock star!
