Colibel Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.

Beanbioca As Good As It Gets

Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

Hadrina The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

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.

edeighton This movie was bad in the beginning, awful during the tedious middle and then AMAZING for most of the last 17 minutes before finally coming to a clunky and unsatisfying finish (and no it was not a biopic of my sex life). Oh the promise contained in those last seventeen minutes of the film...oh how that promising concept was squandered. The female lead singer (Lynn) is the only one that knows that there is a "Killer On The Loose"! Awesome! The band is playing through a metal/gore concert not knowing that someone is actually killing the cast on stage. Fascinating! Lynn is singing her trademark "Rainbow Eyes" while a disguised Billy Eye stalks her across the stage with a real sword mic stand. Gripping! - - But then, as much as I wanted to, I could no longer suspend disbelief once Billy/John takes off his mask and NOBODY reacted appropriately or even realistically. This reaction to the revealed John/Billy ruined the very promising concept of a horror rock show with a real killer. Come on! Why in the hell would the band start playing "I'm Back" instead of trying to rescue their lead singer, Lynn.Overall the music was the best part of this movie. The band Sorcery played the instrumentals and the actor, Nigel Benjamin, was the dubbed over singing voice of Billy Eye. Nigel Benjamin played the manager (Chris Keane) but Nigel is also a legitimate hard rock/metal singer. Nigel Benjamin, was, at one time, the lead singer for Mott the Hoople which famously performed the song "All the Young Dudes". Later, in 1980, Nigel Benjamin was shortly the front-man/lead singer of the LA club band London. Two very famous metal musicians were also in the band London with Nigel Benjamin for short periods of time: Nikki Sixx the bassist for Motley Crue and Izzy Stradlin, the rhythm guitarist for Guns N Roses. The director of Rocktober Blood is Beverly Sebastian and she has a real knack for making movies a family affair. Her husband, Ferd Sebastian was the Producer/Camera man/ utility manager for the movie. Her oldest son, Ben Sebastian, played the effeminate Head of Security. Her youngest son, under the stage name, Tray Loren, played Billy Eye and John Eye. Beverly Sebastian made a few low budget horror movies in the 1970s (Gator Bait) and each one prominently displayed the efforts of her family.Why all of the Lens Flare? Every ten minutes there was an intentional star shaped lens flare effect.

BA_Harrison Two years after heavy rock star Billy "Eye" Harper is executed for the murder of twenty five people, his ex-girlfriend Lynn Starling, now lead singer of Billy's old band, finds herself stalked by a man she believes to be the dead rocker.If you want a film that is the embodiment of cheesy '80s horror, look no further than Rocktober Blood, a silly slasher that couldn't be more '80s if it were wearing day-glo legwarmers and playing with a Rubik's cube. From the opening scene, in which Billy "Eye" Harper (Tray Loren) belts out his new number 'I'm Back', to the ridiculous rock gig finalé, the film is a total hoot, a not-in-the-least-bit-frightening melange of gaudy fashion, body popping, break dancing, big-hair heavy metal, hokey gore, gratuitous nudity and sexy aerobics routines.The plot is pure nonsense, the direction lacks finesse, and the performances range from the mediocre to the downright awful, but it's almost impossible not to have a good time with a film that features not one but TWO nude scenes from its lead actress (in her one and only screen role, Donna Scoggins takes both a naked jacuzzi and a bubble bath), includes several half-decent songs in their entirety, incorporates a ridiculous twist into the story, and ends with a handful of grisly murders being performed on stage in front of a cheering crowd of rock fans unaware that the killings are real.6.5 out of 10, rounded up to 7 for the hilariously bad freeze-frame ending.

[email protected] The movie is filled with plot holes and not easy to follow. The acting leaves alot to the imagination as far as talent goes. The best part of the picture is the music, played, in partby the rock band "Sorcery". Released as a lp back in 1984. Now, the soundtrack is a collectors item!! It's almost impossible to find anywhere. I recently saw an ROCKTOBER BLOOD lp(not vhs) available on e-bay that went for$89!!! Great music, movie ok......
