B- movie review: Hard Rock Zombies (1985)


I decided to start my B-movie review blog with one of my favorite movies at all time: Hard Rock Zombies!! So with this in mind, this review will perhaps not be as much a critical review as a general praise for the awesomeness that is Hard Rock Zombies. The movie is about a crappy rock band and their manager who are on a tour in God forsaken Redneck Country (a country I think exist between Canada and New Orleans on the map). The lead singer end up falling in love with a local teenager called Cassie, but let's just call her Jailbait for simplicity. So Lead Singer and Jailbait's love story is interrupted by things you find in any God forsaken Redneck town, namely evil midgets, a werewolf granny and Adolf Hitler himself (yes, Adolf Hitler). It don't take long however before the curse of the undead is unleashed on the town, and we don't just have to deal with an undead Hard Rock group, but also Midgets, a Zombie Werewolf and Zombie Hitler! This movie even have a zombie eating himself. It's safe to say this movie is totally awesome!

The acting is cheesy, and it's safe to say the actors pretty much just have fun with their roles and the absurd setting. And that is usually what makes a otherwise bad movie good. If the actors are just allowed to have fun there will be a lot of cheesy dialog and weird jokes, and stuff like this really add to a movie meant to be cheesy and fun to begin with. There's of course some music in this movie too, it's about Hard Rock Hallelujah after all. Most of the songs performed is quite meh though, not really that good. However the love serenade is one of the better ones, and that is what matters, since only that one is really central to the story.

Here's a link to the IMDb page of Hard Rock Zombies: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0089254/
Also here's a link to a trailer on Youtube uploaded by Deathdealus 1984. I think it's fan made (I wonder if there's a real trailer out there somewhere), but it's awesome so watch it and like the video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jUEK6FlOmkY
