Reviews
It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.
A story that's too fascinating to pass by...
This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
Hard Rock Nightmare is a rather obscure entry in the "rock 'n' roll" slasher sub-genre, and not a very good one at that. The plot concerns a rock band who decide to head to the lead singer's family cabin to practice and they are soon picked off by a werewolf, or someone dressed as a werewolf. This boring "horror" film was brought to us by Dominick Brascia and Steven Baio, the creators behind the wonderfully, but fun inept "Evil Laugh". Mr. Brascia's second directorial feature was rather disappointing. It's slow-paced and uneventful and the deaths were unconvincing. It also lacked the zany charm that made "Evil Laugh" so wonderful. The ending was lifted right from an old Scooby Doo episode. I won't give away the ending. However, it is worth seeking out only because of it's obscurity.
A rock band and three groupies go to a cabin in the middle of the woods to practice before they go on tour. One of them has nightmares about a werewolf and wouldn't you know it? A werewolf shows up to kill his friends.The last 30 minutes or so are the best as all the mayhem occurs. I liked the fact that once they realize they are being stalked, they at least try to hide and/or get away.There is a little blood, a little nudity, a little bad acting, a little corny dialog and of course those 80's hairstyles and clothes. My favorite scene is with Tom Shell in the woods being stalked.
