Apatros Review Ep-0032: Hard Rock Zombies [1985] (Halloween '23 Part 1)

AR-0032: In this first of three reviews I'm doing for Halloween 2023, we take a look at an obscure horror comedy that was originally meant to be a background prop for another movie, but the director loved the idea so much he extended this prop to feature length.

A hair metal band from the depths of the 1980s find themselves in some hot water when they arrive in a small hick town to perform at a do-or-die audition for a talent scout, only to get killed by a family of Nazis led by the Austrian Painter himself but the band's frontman had the foresight to record a black magic spell to resurrect the dead on his mixtape, which succeeds in bringing them back as a zombie version of KISS.

An atrociously put together movie that has some seriously wrongheaded story turns, although the frontman's relationship with a young fan is definitely something that should be condemned.

My Grade: D- [Atrocious]
