Shock 'Em Dead (1991 93 minutes)
After the worst ever version of Purple Haze we see a horrible band with
the horrible name of Spastique Colon trying out guitarists. Some nerd
who can't play tries out but gets laughed at so he has this Voodoo
woman put a spell on him that turns him into Total Rock Dude. Now he
has a Sid Vicious poster on his wall and a TSOL t-shirt so he's all set
and tries out again and blows the band away with his fretboard
gymnastics. This must've been made during the height of the Joe
Satriani/Yngwie Malmsteen phase in rock history because that's the
only time that kind of butchery was considered awesome. Too bad the
downside to all of this is that now he has to kill people and suck out
their life force to keep going. If this was just another movie about
vampires or witches i'd be bored but the completely overboard rock
nonsense keeps me hooked. There's a rap song that's incredibly
ridiculous, one of those total metal 2-necked guitars, that neon lime
green color that was only popular in 1991, a guy with no shirt and
suspenders like David Lee Roth, and another band called Creeping
Flesh. It was even better the 2nd time I watched it.
