Damian turns into a “demon lizard” even lamer than the one in Gene Roddenberry’s Spectre.
SPOILERS: The kids’ favorite, blandest teacher shows up at the concert and tries to save their souls from eternal damnation. After each night’s show the teenagers of Mill Basin become increasingly evil and begin killing off the adults.Īt the third and final concert the teenagers in the audience all turn into Satanic monsters in cheap masks just like the members of Black Roses. You know the drill from here – the Mayor and a few teachers side with the kids and the Black Roses concerts proceed as planned. The parents of Mill Basin are against letting Black Roses perform because this was during the 1980s uproar about Heavy Metal music being Satanic and supposedly causing suicides and murders among fans. They’ve continued releasing records in the intervening time and are loved by the young nationwide.įor their comeback appearance (forget about ever learning what the in-world fallout was from the massacre at their previous live concert) they’ve chosen to play THREE NIGHTS IN A ROW in the quiet town of Mill Basin (which employs both American AND Canadian flags in a less-than- successful attempt to conceal the film’s north-of- the-border origins). Black Roses will be making their first concert appearance since the bedlam from years back. They move like zombies even though we find out later they’re demons from Hell.Īfter the opening credits we jump ahead a few years to the movie’s present day. The lead singer Damian (Sal Viviano) and the others are in monster-forms which get uglier and uglier until they go wild and begin attacking everyone.
CARLA FERRIGNO BLACK ROSES MOVIE
This movie starts out with a scene of Black Roses performing for a packed venue of head-bangers. And fans of bad movies wouldn’t have it any other way.Īnd finally, how about Ken Swofford as Mayor Farnsworth, an amiable politician who sticks up for Heavy Metal music … and whose hot-to-trot daughter Priscilla is played by Carla Ferrigno? *** *** *** *** *** *** Yes, the movie features three nights of concerts but the poster says it only takes one. How about Vincent Pastore from The Sopranos as a Heavy Metal-hating parent who pays for that by getting mauled by a $1.49 spider-puppet AND getting sucked into a speaker playing Black Roses songs?
How about noted musician Carmine Appice as Vinny Apache, one of the demonic members of the band Black Roses? You want more kitsch-casting? How about Julie Adams of Creature From The Black Lagoon playing an elderly frump outraged over Heavy Metal’s supposed “Satanic” element? He also plays one of the Black Roses in monster form during the film.
But that’s part of his – and the movie’s – charm. )ĭietz looked too young to be a police detective in Zombie Nightmare and he looks too OLD to be a high school student in Black Roses. (The other two are Rock’N’Roll Nightmare and Zombie Nightmare. It’s a Canadian horror movie, it’s one of the wonderfully campy Heavy Metal Horror productions of the 1980s and most importantly for trivia lovers Black Roses is one of the Big Three Canadian turkeys to feature Frank Dietz in a supporting role. BLACK ROSES (1988) – This legendarily laughable attempt at a horror film belongs to quite a few niche sub-genres.
