Rocktober Blood

Listening to the Land of the Creeps podcast.This film was reviewed by one of the hosts, it was an episode about slashers, specifically the 1980s.The hosts were so delighted to discuss this film, I felt curious about the movie. So I was pleased that Amazon had it available with a decent price. Quick turnaround, it arrived 2 says later. So I was able to indulge.Gregamortis, Dave and Bill from LOTC would be glad that I added this hidden gem of a slasher to my collection.Definitely a recommendation, sit back, relax the brain and get ready for entertainment with a killer soundtrack.

Five Stars

Pretty decent slasher. I loved the look and feel of the film. Great music too. Cool ending. Very enjoyable. Just don’t go in expecting a perfect horror film

I was happy to get this VHS copy, amazing soundtrack ! ! ! !

You'll dig it. The price is right. Just grab it!

Great

After hearing this movie reviewed on a recent episode of land of the creeps podcast I just had to pick it up. Typical 80’s slasher goodness with some really catchy music. Very happy with my purchase!

Yup, the others are correct, this is simply a VHS-rip, so the quality is just bad.However, I could forgive the quality if the movie wasn't so bad. No, not so bad, simply unfinished. SPOILERS ahead. Though, there's honestly nothing to truly spoil.I thought the movie would be about a rock singer that comes back from the dead to kill people, but the movie instead opens in a completely inexplicably manner with a band rehearsing, everything is going swell and then the lead singer leaves the studio, walks back inside and kills a couple of people for ZERO reason. It then jumps two years later saying he's dead--though this was never shown at the beginning. In fact, in the beginning he escapes...?So now, the movie slows to a crawl as this guy "comes back from the dead", though there's ZERO context as to him coming back from the dead as he's dressed/looks/acts the same he did at the beginning and it never showed him die. From here, not a lot happens until the very end when everyone's on stage and Billy--the villain--gets hit in the head with a guitar and just keeps singing... And then the movie ends...? What?The movie simply isn't finished. It jumps around with no context, does nothing compared to what the awesome cover suggests and in the weirdest part... Has a strange mini-documentary about dogs and hobos (?) tacked on the DVD after the closing credits... Honestly, I didn't even listen to it as I was fast-forwarding because the time code said that--even though Rocktober Blood ended--that there was still 20 minutes of post-credit content. What on Earth were they thinking?
