Full metal meets average slasher flick
10 July 2002
At the movie's best scene the killer is stabbing dancing girls on stage with a sword/mic stand. He even cuts off a girl's head and throws it into the crowd! Unfortunately this action comes after a lot of dull and not scary stalking. The most unexciting and unoriginal moments include a series of phone calls with no one on the line and the obligatory digging up the killer's grave in the night to see if he lives.

The rock music is great and full songs are played several times. If the viewer does not go for power metal or 80's rock videos, they may not be wild about this flick. In a creative scene, the hero is chased by an unseen menace while metal music is played backwards on the soundtrack.

A great movie for metal fans with patience for mediocre horror.
