Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Yash Wade Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

Winifred The movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.

Delight Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

Java_Joe I don't remember where I first heard of this movie but at some point as I was perusing the used DVD aisle for movies I wanted I came across this and something seemed to trigger a memory. Not of the movie itself, but of the frontman Jon-Mikl Thor. Admittedly I knew next to nothing of this Canadian strongman but there was something about the title and his name that made me buy it. To be honest I probably would have bought it simply for the cover art alone. And after a couple days I finally watched it all the way through and sat back to wonder on what exactly it is that I had seen. You need to understand that I love bad movies. The worse the better. There's this kind of fascination when something is terrible in every sense of the word but the cast is giving it their earnest best. Often times that results in the beloved "so bad it's good" movies. But that's less a truism than an occasional accident because this movie is anything but.The movie is boring and that's possibly the worst critique that you can give a movie. From the opening when we see the band's van driving along the highway, it just goes on forever. It doesn't break it up for anything. It just continues and this is what we get to look forward to for the rest of the movie. Interspersed with pointless scenes are the musical numbers. I get it. Jon-Mikl Thor was a musician. Doesn't mean his music was any good and while I love 80's cheesy hair metal, this isn't a really good example of it. I get it that this was done by amateurs. I get it that this had no budget so the monsters looked like crap. I get it that they didn't even have a catering budget. none of that matters because there have been movies that cost nothing to make that show how inventive some filmmakers can be. And of course I need to mention the elephant in the room, the guy that plays Stig had to absolute WORST Australian accent ever. I don't know if he was trying to go for something funny or if he was supposed to be a goofball or something. Putting on an funny accent doesn't make a character. It's a character that puts on a funny accent. Do you understand the difference? Then of course after he's possessed he loses the accent and nobody seems to notice or care. Is this something he does? A thirty second throwaway line could solve that problem but they just ignore it or assume that the audience automatically gets it.The climax of the movie is a complete joke with Thor fighting a paper mache demon that seriously looks like it's going to fall over at any point. It doesn't even look like he's fighting it but just uselessly flailing at it. The result is actually quite silly when you get down to it.All in all, unless you're into terrible movies there's really no reason to see this one. Save your money and just watch Birdemic or The Room again. Trust me, it'll be more entertaining than this.

bensonmum2 A metal band rents an old farmhouse to use as a recording studio for their new album. It doesn't take long, however, for things to go horribly wrong. Creatures begin to appear and people start to go missing. Soon, only lead singer John Triton (Jon Mikl Thor) is left to do battle with the devil and his many minions. But Triton is not who he seems and is ready for this battle.A plot summary really can't do Rock 'n' Roll Nightmare justice. There's more here than seems to be at first glance. It's a fairly ambitious plot for a reported $53,000 budget. Speaking of the budget, with limited funds like that, it's amazing how watchable the end product actually is. You can tell that there's a lot of unpaid work by family and friends, not to mention Jon Mikl Thor's music, that were key to making this thing work. And, given the budget, the special effects end up looking "special". No, they won't compete with today's CGI effects or anything from big a big practical effects company, but for what they are, I enjoyed them. And then there's that final fight scene. What a total blast! Even though I had fun watching most of Rock 'n' Roll Nightmare, there were a few things that kept me from fully embracing the film and lowered my overall rating. The main problem comes from the long stretches of the movie where nothing happens. Maybe I"m just getting too old, but endless shower scenes and PG-rated sex scenes do nothing for me. A little more variety might have really helped.Overall, I'm impressed with what these people were able to do. I say "these people" because it's apparent Rock 'n' Roll Nightmare was a group effort. The final product is good, but not great. My slightly above average 6/10 rating seems appropriate.

Red-Barracuda To say the very least, they don't make them like this anymore.The Edge of Hell is really like nothing you will ever have seen before. It a horror film that epitomizes the term 'eighties cheese'. You would think after witnessing this that it must surely have been written by a 14 year old boy, and possibly a slightly stupid one. But no, this is the work of Jon Mikl Thor the lead actor and pioneer of the completely forgotten heavy metal sub-genre known as muscle-rock. He sports a haircut so obscene it is easily the most disturbing element in the entire movie. His music is mind-bogglingly awful and he gets to play a couple of tracks in full for our benefit. Lyrically you will be hard pushed to find anything more banal. But of course the sheer stupidity of this film is the chief reason to see it. Thor is nothing if not a one-off, and as events unfold in this film you will agree that this cheese-fest is certainly unique.The story is borderline incomprehensible. It's sort of about a possessed house where a heavy metal band have decided to record music in but by the end you will be left entirely baffled and unsure just what exactly has unfolded before your eyes. Characters disappear and reappear with really no rhyme nor reason. For instance, about half-way in a bunch of groupies appear in the middle of the night for a scene that has truly no purpose whatsoever. The monsters in the film compromise for the most part of finger puppets and cheap masks. They are completely ridiculous. As is the accent of the drummer – was he meant to be Australian? English? Who knows quite honestly.However, nothing, I repeat NOTHING, can prepare you for the final confrontation. Up to this scene the film has been a pretty strange experience. A combination of lame horror, vaguely hideous soft-core sex and mind-bogglingly awful hair metal music performances. But the finale takes everything that has gone before and disregards it with an extended scene where Thor turns into a character called The Intercessor and battles Beelzebub. Words are simply not adequate at describing the contents of this scene. But suffice to say Thor strips down to his leather underpants, sports eye-liner and has his previously ridiculous haircut made even more ridiculous via the application of a bottle of hairspray. The homo-erotic nature of this metal warrior is simply impossible to ignore. He then proceeds to battle the giant puppet that constitutes Beelzebub. For some reason the demon begins this confrontation by throwing starfish at our hero. They then engage in a wrestling match. This whole scene is quite honestly legendary, and worth enduring the other rubbish for.Yeah, as I say, they don't make them like this anymore.

movieman_kev There are movies that exist out there that are so awful, so bad, that they're good "Filthy McNasty", "Class of Nuke em High" the first Troll film, and on and on. This putrid little horror cheapie that is Rock N Roll Nightmare is definitely NOT on of those. This Jon Mikl Thor starring piece of crap is so bad that I revs past bad, soars past 'so bad, it's good' and takes a firm nosedive into 'so bad that it's freaking terrible' territory. No redeeming value whatsoever. My 2 year old niece can do better than this celluloid waste. I kept hearing about how the last 10 minutes made sitting through the rest of the film worthwhile. Well no and no. Thor tells a foam latex devil puppet that he had tricked him, gets pelted with clay starfish, and that's pretty much it. Yeah that was so worth sitting through boring minutes of nothing but a car driving down the road, so worth watching people wash dishes, and endless scenes of filler and padding. I love heavy metal, i love low-budget horror flicks, so one would think i'd love a combination of the two...right?? WRONG. Do yourself a favor, bub, go rent "Trick or Treat", "Rocktober Blood" or pretty much any metal/horror hybrid and leave this one in the dust bin where it belongs. Followed by a sequel!!!! That I hear is even worse (is that even possible) DVD Extras: Commentary by Director John Fasano and actor Jon-Mike Thor (the latter also provides a video intro & afterwards); 15 minute interview with Thor; 13 minute behind the scenes make-up featurette; 21 minutes of rare footage from the set; and two music videos Eye Candy: Both Jillian Peri and Teresa Simpson get topless My Grade: F
