Eddie Weinbauer, a metalhead teen who is bullied at school, looks to his heavy metal superstar idol, Sammi Curr, for guidance. When Curr is killed in a hotel fire, Eddie becomes the recipient of the only copy of his unreleased album, which, when played backwards, brings the rocker back to life. As Halloween approaches, Eddie begins to realize that this isn't only rock 'n roll...It's life and death.
Gene Simmons and Ozzy Osbourne is heavily advertised on the cover, but they are only in the movie for 5 minutes total. The movie follows young Ediie who is an outcast on his school because he listens to heavy metal. His big idol, Sammi Curr, dies in a fire, and while grieving and listening to an album with him. He figures out he can communicate with him through playing his records backwards. Curr soon shows himself as an evil avenging spirit. It’s a good movie with some really great effects, and a really cool Soundtrack. The kills are a bit bland and the ending isn’t great, but it’s worth it.
