Overview
Eddie Weinbauer, a 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 his unreleased album, which, when played backwards, brings the rocker back to life.

It's genial, not too frightening and even rather sweet.

Price is cast perfectly as the dismayed rock worshipper.
