Black Roses (1988) is a movie I recently watched on Amazon Prime after it was recommended on Into the Darkness. The storyline tells the tale of a traveling rock band whose music turns their listeners into followers of the bands demonic plans. Can the parents and local police force stop the band before their children and friends kill everyone in town? This movie is directed by John Fasano (The Jitters) and stars John Martin (Days of our Lives), Ken Swofford (Annie), Julie Adams (Catchfire) and Sal Viviano (Out of the Box). This movie has some great masks, special effects and transformation scenes. I loved the way the band is depicted, even the gag where they start as soft rock until they need to transform into a hard rock band. Well done by the team. The dialogue, character interactions and storyline were a bit clunky and uneven. The hair in this was hysterical and well done and there's a nice injection of nudity in this as you'd expect from this era. Overall this is a fairly average movie worth a viewing. I'd score this a 5/10 and recommend seeing it once.
