"rock & roll has no boundaries, race or gender" (Guitar Wolf)
11 March 2002
This is a mess of a film. Tackiness impersonated and completely unoriginal. YET rather than by its gore I was most impressed (almost moved) by some of its infantile ideas about love. Such as the love after death story of a couple who become zombies or Guitar's Wolf reproach to Ace (who just found out that Tobio, a girl? he just met, is in fact a boy) that Rock & Roll has no boundaries, race or gender. So he then decides to go and rescue her/him from the zombies and live together happily. This is a breath of fresh air from the always-homophobic macho-minded components on these sorts of films The real fun, though, comes from the creepy and weird music producer character and his interesting selection of clothing. Guitar Wolf on the hand cannot act or played (stick to Thee Michelle Gun Elephant instead).
