Day 15: Hard Rock Nightmare

     Earlier in the month I reviewed Terror on Tour. An awful excuse for a rock and roll slasher where the lighting was darker than the subject matter. I'm taking another stab at the heavy metal/rock n roll horror genre. It can't be much worse than Terror on Tour.

    The film begins with a flashback of our protagonist stabbing his grandfather to death after being teased that he is a monster. Years later he is the frontman for a local glam metal band (who all need to work on their hair game). After being harassed by the local police for the volume of their practices, he arranges to practice at his grandfathers country property. But things go terribly wrong when a giant werewolf begins to kill off the band and their groupies one by one.

Hard Rock Nightmare is the type of film you need to watch with a group of friends. There is tons of corny dialogue, bad acting, glam metal, and some funny kills. Other than that though, your going to need conversation with friends to pass the time.

  The good news is that Hard Rock Nightmare is in fact better than Terror On Tour. But not as fun as Trick or Treat Orlando the jury is still out on Rocktobrt Blood. Decent time waster, but nothing more.
Body Count:9
Side Note: The Werewolf turns out to be a really impressive costume. The mask even has cool animatronics. So good that it's strange they went with the plot twist ending. Oh yeah, there's a plot twist.
