434. Black Roses (1988)

November 21, 2014

In the quiet town of Mill Basin, 40 year old high school students eagerly await their favorite band, The Black Roses, who have announced several days of concerts there. Their teacher consistently tries to teach them about Walt Whitman and Ralph Waldo Emerson, but he can never seem to remember how long class is and the bell gets the better of him every time. The adults in the town don't like the idea of The Black Roses, and they have a town meeting and even show up to the first concert. Fortunately for the kids, the band is hip to what the parents are doing, so they start the show with a little rock ballad number that everyone can appreciate. The parents leave after the first song, believing the music is innocent enough, leaving The Black Roses to drop the act and rock everyone's faces off. The kids all love it, and they keep coming back night after night, becoming steadily less interested in school and getting involved with all sorts of criminal activities. The teacher notices that the students don't care anymore and that their parents are all getting murdered, so he investigates and discovers the band is not what they seem to be and tries to stop them from brainwashing the town's youth. 'Black Roses' was the second film of our third Bad Movie Night, and I have to say there is nothing I don't love about this movie. It is delightfully bad with a great soundtrack and some fun effects and costumes.
