'Slaughterhouse Rock is one outrageously silly, sensationally serotonin-steeped slasher!

The old adage that any frisky 80s fright flick with limber pop star Toni Basil and a sprightly score by Devo’s Mark Mothersbaugh is usually worth a shout is given ghastly verisimilitude with director Dimitri ‘Kickboxer: Retaliation’ Logothetis crisply-screamed, Krugerised, demon-festooned kill-fest ‘Slaughterhouse Rock’. The purloined plot is a Craven, ‘Elm Street’ / ‘Bad Dreams’ pop video garish, paranormal puree joyfully overstuffed with every deliriously day-glow diabolic, college Jock, horror cliché any misfit-minded splatter mad hatter might possibly desire to see in one outrageously silly, sensationally serotonin-steeped slasher! Our majestically mulleted brawny beefcake-headed hero Alex (Nicholas Colozzi) evilly experiences multitudinous morbid dreams wetter than the poor, swarthily chested dear can literally stomach, all this ghoulish, gut-churning, bed-levitating misfortune finally culminating in a desperate night-time flit to infamous terror island Alcatraz where the distraught Alex must reluctantly confront the malign, nightmare-spawning, no longer corporeal cannibal entity ceaselessly broadcasting this demented screed through his beleaguered, sleep-deprived noggin.
Once anxiously ensconced upon the infamous, brine-lashed, long dilapidated, ghoul—infested gaol our perfectly perky, fouffy-haired, ceaselessly-libidinous terror teens are rabidly set upon by a throat-goring, Lamberto Bava-esque, dastardly-dentured demon and these quarrelsome, trash-talking kids only real hope of ever escaping this blood-lashed rock alive is by the rather incredulous intervention of a ludicrously garbed, amusingly expository spectre doing an unerringly accurate impression of world renowned choreographer Toni Basil invoking her somewhat less renowned Toni Basil persona of kooky, demon-slaying sprite!
While ‘Slaughterhouse Rock’ cannot be legitimately considered an unheralded midnight movie masterpiece, it is way more amusing than its relatively obscurity might suggest, not only is ‘Slaughterhouse Rock’ absurdly good fun from the gory get go, being effortlessly re-watchable, the sublimely splattery film’s knowingly jokey, self-deprecating humour lends it a curiously contemporary feel many similarly trashy horror films usually lacked. It’s been said before, but if it was worth saying the once, it’s worth saying again, ‘Slaughterhouse Rock’ rocks pretty hard, dude! and zealous exploitation enthusiasts of vintage 80s head-splattering, latex-bubbling, terrifically taste-shattering terror titles like ‘Prison’, ‘Neon Maniacs’ and ‘Doom Asylum’ should righteously groove on this adrenalized, Alcatraz-set, analogue-era slasher the most!
