Product Description

The sleepy little town of Mill Basin is about to get more than it bargained for. The satanic heavy metal rock band "Black Roses" is coming through to raise hell... literally! After making a deal with the Devil himself, the band s music demonically possesses the kids in the audience, turning them into blood-thirsty demons. The blood flows as they start killing their parents and causing chaos at their local high school. Culminating in a fiery battle between man and ultimate evil, BLACK ROSES is considered a MUST HAVE metal horror movies from the 80's (IMDB.COM).

BLACK ROSES features an early film role for Vincent (THE SOPRANOS) Pastore and classic rock fans will love seeing Carmine Appice (of VANILLA FUDGE) on-screen as one of the demonic "Black Roses" band members! The heavy metal soundtrack features original music from LIZZY BORDEN.

5.0 out of 5 stars Still the best of the 80s heavy metal horror films, November 16, 2007

By	Charlie B. Counselman (Greensboro, NC, USA) - See all my reviews

I am a big fan of the 80s music oriented horror films such as Rock n' Roll Nightmare, Slumber Party Massacre 2, Terror on Tour, Shock 'em Dead (which has yet to see a dvd release), Trick or Treat, etc. and this is my favorite one. Rock n' Roll Nightmare is probably a close 2nd place, but this film has better special effects, funnier characters, and is even more bizarre and unpredictable. I ordered this DVD as soon as I heard it was coming out. My VHS copy was one of my most treasured films because it was so hard to find and long out of print. I am glad this one didn't slip into obscurity.

I have to admit I haven't watched this movie since I was a metal hating punk rock teenager, but the soundtrack is awful, and it's just a dumb movie.

A Heavy metal cult classic from the 1980s. This movie, with its hard driving, blood boiling, heavy metal songs is sure to please! The demon song (one of my favorates) titled,"We against the world," is performed awesomely! The human disguised, Demon rock musicans really put on a show and terrorize a small bible thumping town! This movie will entertain and scare you too! I loved it! Check it out!
