Rocktober Blood Audience Reviews

Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.
AnhartLinkin This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.
Kinley This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
Yazmin Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.
shawnblackman A true 80's slasher classic with all the trimmings. The over the top absurd kills (an iron held to the throat) with lots of nudity and even aerobics in leotards. It doesn't get any better than this.If you watch the DVD version there is a part after the movie which shows how the director and his wife rescue Greyhounds now.
Woodyanders Deranged rock singer Billy "Eye" Harper gets executed for killing twenty-five people. Two years later Billy returns from the dead to commit a new series of murders.Boy, does this enjoyably absurd howler completely nail the sleazy decadence and outrageous excesses of the 1980's hard rock scene: We've got hideously massive overpermed hairdos, skintight leather pants, herky jerky break dancing, sweaty aerobics, coke snorting, lots of gnarly head-banging hard rock songs blaring away on the soundtrack, and, best of all, an uproariously ridiculous climatic concert which degenerates into a crazed bloodbath. The slack (non)direction by Beverly Sebastian, gaudy cinematography, extremely variable acting, a silly story complete with a groan-inducing surprise twist, and tacky gore all further enhance this flick's considerable deliciously cheesy charm. As a yummy plus, foxy brunette Donna Scoggins takes her clothes off twice in order to bare her attractive slender body. A total schlocky hoot.
HumanoidOfFlesh Billy "Eye" Harper is a hard rocker who killed 25 people and was later sentenced to death and executed.The only survivor of Billy's rampage is a part-time singer Lynn Starling.Two years ago Lynn wants to go with her new band Headmistress on Rocktober Blood tour.But Billy is not dead and he starts killing people around her..."Rocktober Blood" is one of the better heavy metal/slasher movies of 80's.There is a bit of tension and some lines are priceless for example ""I want your hot steaming pussy blood all over my face".The killings include eviscerations,a nasty impaling and a pretty good decapitation.The acting is terrible,but I must say that I enjoyed hard rocking soundtrack of "Rocktober Blood".7 out of 10.
batstandards I found this movie by accident when I was trying to remember the name of the movie Trick Or Treat. I decided to check it out because it had a similar premise: Rock star dies and returns to seek revenge. Although it is nowhere near as good as Trick Or Treat (an overlooked masterpiece of the 80s), it is still quite funny and entertaining. (Spoilers ahead) You will no doubt notice that Billy Eye's girl does not have a scar where she was stabbed 2 years earlier. And the scene at the end where he appears to throw one of the dancer's heads in the audience could just be a wig. All the previous posts were correct in noting that the end is the best part of the movie. There is an interesting similarity between this scene and the scene in Trick or Treat where Sammi Curr appears on stage at his old High School during the dance. In both cases the crowd is surprised and pleased that the Dead Rock Star has come back to perform. Both rockers deliver "deadly" performances. Billy Eye is determined to put on a good show and he insists on hitting the last high note of the song even after being struck with an electric guitar.
