Featured review
Heavy Metal is the Devil's Music!
Black Roses tells the relatable story of a heavy metal band that comes to a small town, plays a concert in spite of the protests of some Tipper Gore-esque prudes, and ends up possessing all of the town's children into killing the adults and, sometimes, turning into slimy demon creatures.
At a scant 85 minutes, Black Roses gets in and gets out before you can ask too many questions and that's for the best. The pace is fast and furious and there's never a moment to scratch your head or overthink anything too much. It's the kind of movie made for late night TV where your brain is half-awake and you just want to be entertained. The effects are surprisingly excellent, there's some ok gore, and the story itself is entertaining. Still, I wish I could figure out whose side the film is on. After all, the adult prudes turn out to be right and this band really does bring evil and destruction with them.
