♫ it's me against the world, that’s what it feels like in Mill Basin
until Black Roses come to town and rocks my fucking face in
they're here for one night only, that’s all they'll ever need
to steal away our souls and make our eardrums bleed ♬
~ 'Metal Movie Marijuana Massacre Meltdown' - Acid Witch
a cult (glam) metalspoitation movie directed by John Fasano of Rock 'n' Roll Nightmare. i didn't really care for this the first time i watched it. the script and acting are horrendously bad. i don't know if it was intended to be taken seriously as a horror movie, but i interpret it as a satire of the beliefs and fears of the Christian right during the 'satanic panic' of the '80s
the settings, costumes and monster designs are quintessential '80s, very reminiscent of Wes Craven's Nightmare on Elm Street. the soundtrack features Lizzie Borden and Californian Celtic rock band Tempest, with King Cobra, and their transgender vocalist Marcie Free, performing most of the music for the titular band
i watched this with my girlfriend last night. we both got baked and laughed our asses off through the whole thing. one of those movies that's so bad it's good, i recommend watching it with a friend
