Tonight’s “Research” - Black Roses (1988)
Plot: A satanic hair metal band called Black Roses plays a show in a small town, turning the teens in the town into bloodthirsty demons.
Fun concept/idea, terrible execution. There’s fun “bad 80’s” fare, and then there’s stuff like this. Barely any gore, slow as molasses and absolutely no fun at all. A few of the hair metal songs were awesome, and there’s one funny completely gratuitous boob scene, but overall, not worth my time. I fast forwarded through a lot of it. A bummer because it’s a great premise for a horror flick (and admittedly similar to NOTP).
