Review of Black Roses (1988) by Filmgrinder S — 09 Oct 2010
Some fun demon effects and a hair metal aesthetic drive this strangely conservative rock 'n' roll horror treasure. When a demonic rock band (The Black Roses) sets up a five-gig run in a podunk town to kick off their tour, the square and middle-aged reactionaries turn out to be the heroes.
Though it feels like it was produced by and for the KISS-hating parents of the bible belt (the Roses' music makes kids evil), the movie still knows that its hellish effects and rock performances are its most entertaining asset.
And entertaining it is.
