Black Roses

1988 / R / 1h 30m

A demonic heavy metal band rolls into a quiet suburban town, using electrifying stage shows to possess the minds of its teenage fans. As the local PTA panics, the band’s monstrous true form is revealed—complete with latex creatures, loud guitars, and lots of fog machines. Campy, sleazy, and packed with practical effects, Black Roses is a satanic panic cult classic that plays like a headbanger’s fever dream.

Director: John Fasano

Stars: John Martin / Ken Swofford / Sal Viviano
