Black Roses (1988)

In John Fasano's sophomore feature we find more of the same components from his first film: heavy metal, monster puppetry and poor filmmaking. With a story that plays out like an after school special, the senior residents of Mill Basin are wary of the titular band's stop in their sleepy town and the evil influence they have on their children. And what do you know? All their fears are realized. As yet another vehicle for the music, the uninspired plot suffers. The sfx are uneven as most of the puppetry is corny and cartoonish with only one particularly disturbing creature creation.
