Black Roses (1988)

hyped garbage

Highly Overrated But Still Good

Yo, there's no way for me to review this film without saying, take your *insert ethnicity + "ass" here* to see this film,like now. You have to see it in order to know what you're really messing with.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

The small town of Mill Basin is about to become the first place that the band Black Roses will ever play a show. Up until now, they've only been a studio band. And parents are concerned because these guys have taken over the hearts and souls of the town's kids. But do you blame the kids? Mill Basin reminds me of where I grew up — there's nothing to do but have sex and do recreational drugs. And if you have bad self-esteem issues, you're gonna just stay in your room reading comic books, playing guitar, drawing pictures of Leatherface and staring at your Traci Lords poster while listening to Among the Living on repeat. Oh wait — I was wallowing in the past.The kids come back at their parents with knives, just like Charley claimed they would, like Tony running over his dad (Vincent Pastore of The Sopranos) with a car, another kid shoots his dad in the face and one gets her best friend to hump her father to death (one of these deaths is not like the other). Even virginal Julie goes astray, killing her lecherous stepfather and Moorhouse's ex-girlfriend before transforming into a creature that I can only describe as a fetal pig that makes cat noises.Read more at bit.ly/2yA7j8z

Heavy metal band Black Roses puts on a series of shows in a small American town, much to the consternation of the adults, but to the delight of their young fans, who are unaware that their idols are in fact demons whose Satanic music causes listeners to commit acts of extreme violence.If you're too young to remember, or weren't even born, it might be hard to believe just how popular heavy rock was back in the '80s. Men proudly grew their locks, sported leather and denim, and head-banged till their necks seized up. Girls put peroxide in their hair, glammed themselves up with plenty of makeup and strutted around in spandex leggings (actually, so did some of the blokes). The same decade also saw the cheesy horror film enjoying much success, with many movies forgetting all about logic in favour of crazy special effects laden chaos. Black Roses takes both metal and monster madness and combines them in a technically shoddy and often laughable movie that appears to enforce the outmoded notion that rock music is a corrupting influence on the young.A great soundtrack (if hair metal is your thing), some cheap and cheerful monster effects and a spot of gratuitous female nudity go some way to making up for the lousy script, crap acting and seemingly denigrating anti-metal message, but in the end, it's just another disappointing rock/horror hybrid (see also Trick or Treat, Zombie Nightmare, Rock 'n' Roll Nightmare, Hard Rock Zombies and Shock 'Em Dead for more of the same).

I like the movie even though it is cheesy. I remember it from when I was little. There should have been more nude scenes. Ha Ha. Any way's, I wanna know if there is one singer or are there many. If any one knows please write back, and who are they?

I think this is a terrible movie. The acting and the storyline are both bad. The special effects leave a lot to be desired. But I enjoyed it anyway. If you like to watch late night b-movies on the weekend,than watch this one when it comes on at 2:30 A.M. sometime. The music is great(Lizzy Borden, King Kobra, etc.) and it has all the awful special effects and plot that you expect. Not a good movie(I wouldn't buy or rent it) but enjoyable.
