Rock 'n' Roll Nightmare

This is the greatest movie EVER!!! Actually, it's so bad it's good. "Rock N' Roll Nightmare" gives you puppet monsters, really boring and long sex scenes, some surprisingly good 80's metal ("Energy" is a favorite of mine), and Jon-Mikl Thor in a metal speedo! The plot revolves around a group of musicians who go to a farmhouse to record their new album (because the city has made them soft!). Little do they know, that a decade ago a demon killed an entire family who lived there. Now the demon is back and starts killing off the band members one by one. Jon-Mikl Thor is a likable actor and you can tell he really tried and put a lot of effort into this film. But the film is extremely cheesy and low-budget. Many consider this to be the "worst film of all time". I would totally disagree with that. The film has charm and a certain campiness to it. The twist ending is probably one of the greatest i've seen in such a bad movie. I actually was surprised at how well the plot twist worked. The director also did the metal horror classic "Black Roses". Overall, this is a cult classic that is pretty tame and cheesy, but it's fun and has heart. WE LIVE TO ROCK!!!

From the wilds of Canada comes "Rock 'N' Roll Nightmare," apparently a vanity project from writer-star Jon Mikl Thor. If you've never heard of him before, join the club - his discography after 1986 looks pretty thin. There is so much to love here: a barely coherent plot, non-erotic soft-core sex, ludicrous "special effects," horrible acting, lousy pseudo-metal music and HAIR. LOTS AND LOTS OF BAD 80s HAIR. What a shame MST3000 never got the rights to this one - maybe I'll float it as a reunion project. As other reviewers have mentioned, the final reel alone is worth the price of a used VHS copy of this gem. Any bad movie lover will enjoy this obscure piece of undercooked Canadian bacon.

If you don't take this movie as the new "Psycho" or "Rosemarie Baby" you can have a good time watching "Rock n roll nightmare". This is one of those movies that achieve cult-status as "So bad that are funny" like the infamous and great "Troll 2". The rocker Thor is the lead here. The plot is about a rockn roll band in some house that are attacked one by one by demons. This demons are very cheap and stupid-looking puppets. The bad thing in this one is that most of the killings are off-screen and there isn't enough nudity. Not the perfect party movie IMHO but a good one to have a laugh with friends and lots of booze.

6/10

OMG, what a glorious mess It's so bad that it's great

I can't believe stuff like this gets made, but I am so glad they did it.

Rock 'n' Roll Nightmare is a delicious piece of mid-80s drive-in fodder. The thing that makes these kinds of films so unique and fun to watch is the seriousness with which the major players seem to take their part in them. It is their obliviousness to the low-quality of the product that is this grade-Z film's most fascinating aspect.

It is appallingly poorly acted. It is written by total amateurs. It is directed enthusiastically and even artistically in places, and is thankfully short in duration, for although it has moments of professionalism, they are more than outnumbered and greedily overshadowed by some of the silliest scenes ever to make it to the VCR.

It's the Muppet Show meets Spinal Tap meets Friday the 13th meets total crap, and total crap wins the day! Hooray!
