Eddie Weinbauer, an metalhead teen who is bullied at school, looks to his heavy metal superstar idol, Sammi Curr, for guidance. When Curr is killed in a hotel fire, Eddie becomes the recipient of the only copy of Curr's unreleased album, which, when played backwards, brings Sammi back to life. As Halloween approaches, Eddie begins to realize that this isn't only rock 'n roll...it's life and death.
Price is cast perfectly as the dismayed rock worshipper.

All utter rubbish but fun, benefiting greatly from outrageous SFX a la Videodrome, and from two neat cameos by real life HM stars Ozzy Osbourne and Gene Simmons.
