GrimPrecise I'll tell you why so serious
VeteranLight I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.
CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
btwo_two This movie contains so much interesting information about the early years of Twisted Sister. If you are a hardcore fan you will find new stuff and amazing live videos. If you are a new fan or just a music fan in general you will get the story of what happened before the hit singles and MTV-videos. Old band members and managers are interviewed which makes the whole story very genuine. And the fact that the fans from the club days got to tell their story as well is a great plus. Twisted Sister has a 40 years long history and this documentary gives us the opportunity to experience the early days of the band. The struggles in the bar scene and their hopes of signing a record deal. I can recommend it to everyone who has an interest in rock music.
modifieddevice I just watched the movie and all I can say is that was the best damned movie I have watched this year!!!The Bands early history up to the signing with Atlantic shows the real struggle of becoming a successful rock/metal group,new respect and love for a band I have listened to for 36 years.I am not really good at writing reviews that are critical or analytical I just know what I watched was a masterpiece of how the Rock industry rolls and how it tried its' best to chew up a band that carried an anthem for generations to come. I loved TFS before I watched this movie but after watching I would follow them to the ends of the Earth,alas this is their final year and tour and this movie will stand as their legacy of greatness for all times.10/10
papamalo A revelation for those in the entertainment industry, this film, as a two-fisted, all-action approach chronicling the rise, of an unlikely group, of glam rockers, from New Jersey. While many laughed at the band from afar, Twisted Sister, through a war of attrition, a James Brownlike work ethic, and absolutely brilliant gameplay, by master strategist and lead vocalist Dee Snider, not only conquered and ruled the club scene for over a decade on the East Coast, but also, rubbed the snobbery of metal traditionalists in their own faces. nearly mythical-sounding true stories, of weasel-y record executives, total club destruction, (literally) and a take no prisoners attitude, make this one of the most entertaining documentaries I have ever watched. As someone who spent three decades playing in nightclubs, I related every part of this movie, even though I've never been in New Jersey, and I'm not particularly a fan of heavy metal.If you like music on any level, or the politics of music, I highly recommend this film!
wolfgrin-34926 Andrew Horn captures the frustration, anger, and dark humor of the hardest working band in rock 'n' roll. For close to 10 years, Twisted Sister drew record crowd numbers (Palladium, Adventure's Inn, Palladium again) and couldn't seem to get the attention of the music industry. The Spinal Tapesque journey of Twisted through opportunities that became victories that just as quickly turned to ash is inspiring and a lesson on how to keep working until your goals are reached. No matter what. Never quit. Never Surrender. Take on every challenge and destroy it while entertaining millions. Easily one of the best rockumentaries ever filmed. Shite! Easily one of the best movies ever filmed!
