That was an excellent one.

I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

1984's Rocktober Blood starts with Billy "Eye" Harper singing "I'm Back" while his girlfriend and backup singer Lynn Starling watches. Billy tells her off, telling her he's going out on a date with someone else. Before he leaves, he tells her he wrote the song "Rainbow Eyes" for her. Everyone in the band leaves except Lynn, who tries to record some of her own tracks before turning down the recording engineer's come on and going to the jacuzzi upstairs alone.Billy returns, only to kill the engineer while he's playing pinball by slicing his throat. Then, he impales the engineer's assistant (he must have hated the mix) before smoking some drugs in a metal one hitter while looking like Larry Sweeney. Lynn has no clue any of this has transpired, but she soon finds out that he's killed both of them. Billy wants to make sure his message is coming through as he begins laughing like a villain. Lynn discovers the assistant's body as Billy continues to laugh and menaces her with a knife, demanding that she sing. A passing security guard saves her life and we cut to two years later and the Rocktober Blood Release party.Billy was captured, tried and executed while Lynn and the remaining band members changed their name to Headmistress. VJ Rick Righteous stops by, does some coke and interviews Lynn about Billy's murder spree and having to finger Billy, which led to his conviction.Then, while the bands are playing and everyone is dancing and getting their faces painted and smoking cigarettes and break dancing, a mysterious figure appears and tells Lynn she needs to meet with her manager. It's all a ruse, because it's Billy — back from the grave, just like he said he would be. Lynn is left crying in the corner, emotionally decimated by whatever Billy said to her.I really have to note that there is way too much break dancing for a heavy metal movie. In my experience, these worlds never played well together.Lynn goes away to a cabin, but Billy's music follows her everywhere she runs, so she tries to aerobic exorcise Billy away. There are more girls sweating in this scene than a Bruce Seven video. The phone keeps ringing, leading to an insane prank phone call (sampled on Acid Witch's "Midnite Movies" EP) that has the caller begging for "hot steaming pussy blood all over my face." The phone just keeps ringing and ringing, even when its off the hook, but look out! Billy's in the house!Read more at http://bit.ly/2innLVH

Deranged rock singer Billy "Eye" Harper gets executed for killing twenty-five people. Two years later Billy returns from the dead to commit a new series of murders.Boy, does this enjoyably absurd howler completely nail the sleazy decadence and outrageous excesses of the 1980's hard rock scene: We've got hideously massive overpermed hairdos, skintight leather pants, herky jerky break dancing, sweaty aerobics, coke snorting, lots of gnarly head-banging hard rock songs blaring away on the soundtrack, and, best of all, an uproariously ridiculous climatic concert which degenerates into a crazed bloodbath. The slack (non)direction by Beverly Sebastian, gaudy cinematography, extremely variable acting, a silly story complete with a groan-inducing surprise twist, and tacky gore all further enhance this flick's considerable deliciously cheesy charm. As a yummy plus, foxy brunette Donna Scoggins takes her clothes off twice in order to bare her attractive slender body. A total schlocky hoot.

If this film looks more than a little familiar, think "A Nightmare On Elm Street" etc, or simply slasher. A year after his execution, a serial killer rock musician returns from the dead to continue where he left off. There is a slight twist on the usual non-plot in that he decides to haunt rather than murder one of his former associates, and she decides to prove he is not really dead by digging up his body. She tries to persuade others to help her, but they think it is all in her head, so she decides to do it on her own. She goes to the cemetery with another woman, and they are joined by a third person, one of the male crew. As she opens his casket, Billy Harper opens his eyes and lunges for her, but she is the only one who sees this, the other two see only a rotted corpse; at this point the viewer might begin to wonder if it really is all in her head. No, it is not, but is this really a supernatural killer or a terrestrial one putting on an act?So what does "Rocktober Blood" have to offer? Well, to begin with, it is one of a series, but don't bother to collect the set. On the other hand, if you are partial to a spot of mild but tasteful nudity, you might find something here. And the soundtrack is not bad, although if you think you recognise two of its titles: "Killer Without A Cause" and Rainbow Eyes", they are probably not the songs you were thinking of.There is a fair amount of gore, but it is difficult to credit this was actually banned.

The movie is filled with plot holes and not easy to follow. The acting leaves alot to the imagination as far as talent goes. The best part of the picture is the music, played, in partby the rock band "Sorcery". Released as a lp back in 1984. Now, the soundtrack is a collectors item!! It's almost impossible to find anywhere. I recently saw an ROCKTOBER BLOOD lp(not vhs) available on e-bay that went for$89!!! Great music, movie ok......
