At an old farmhouse, a family mysteriously dissapears at the hands of evil. Years later, hair metal band The Tritons comes to the farmhouse, whose barn now features a 24-track recording studio. Lead singer John Triton gets the band to perform their first night in the farmhouse after dinner, and weird little beasties suddenly appear, and strange things start to happen. Band members (and their tag along girlfriends) begin to act strangely and vanish one by one. Soon, only John Triton remains, and he holds a secret. Finally, the evil shows itself and a battle between heaven and hell ensues....

Its an amazingly bad movie-that goes without question. I mean look at the insane cover-art. It begs the question "Why was this movie made?". Here's a curve-ball, The protagonist is named John Triton, but is played by actor John Mikal Thor, the fake name sounds more real than the actor's real name. I would describe this as a exhausted movie, in that it sort of stumbles along preoccupied with getting to that place where it can just lie down and sleep it off. I hope there is a documentary film about how this movie got made and why this movie got made because I imagine it would be like the doc Heart Of Darkness is for Apocalypse Now. Watching this movie initiates you into the sacred order of Rock'n'roll, yeah!

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!!!

I had my movie geek friends over for beer and they were like, Jon-Mikl Thor? Whodat? I said "huh"? They emailed our friend who writes a bad movie zine and she hasn't seen it either. This freaks me out. The Intercessor's light is dimming. We must all join hands and shout it to the world. So I made them watch it, and it rocked the house! Seeing it again I realized this is bad in a bad, bad way: these people are not conscious of the crime they are committing, and that is what makes it rock so hard. Thor says that in the end he was supposed to be up on a big hydraulic platform with lightning and sh*t fighting the Alien but they couldn't afford it, so that phenomenal Platonic dialogue at the end is actually a golden Stonehenge moment. Nothing beats the fake Australian for me, although when the idiot hoser landlord turns and goes "heh heh you'll see" it does momentarily steal the movie. What exactly is Thor talking to his friends about in the van that inspires him to those strange gestures? And really, did we really need the camera to pan down to Thor's ass in the shower scene? It was totally uncalled for, especially since he was already winning the Battle of the Boobs. Did he throw in the "Scarborough chapter of the Tritonz Fan Club" as a sop to Gerald Pratley?! Finally, be advised that my girlfriend got me the soundtrack for Christmas...and THERE IS ACTUALLY A TRACK CALLED "I'LL SEE YOU AGAIN, OLD SCRATCH."

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
