Sommer 1988: Im amerikanischen Hinterland haben vermeintliche Satanisten bereits 18 unschuldige Menschen umgebracht. Für die besorgten Sittenwächter ist ganz klar, dass nur Heavy Metal schuld an allem sein kann! Das hält die drei Freundinnen Alexis, Val und Beverly nicht davon ab, einen Roadtrip zu einem Heavy-Metal-Festival zu unternehmen. Dort angekommen, lernen sie Mark, Kovacs und Ivan kennen und beschließen, nach dem Konzert in Alexis' abgelegenem Landhaus weiterzufeiern. Was eine Nacht voller Spaß und Ausschweifung werden sollte, nimmt allerdings schnell eine mörderische Wendung und nicht alle werden diese unheilvolle Party überleben … (Splendid Film)

Englisch B-movie silliness, but quite nicely put together conceptually, with decent performances and fun enough to spend those ninety minutes relatively smoothly. This, despite the fact that the entire plot, though solid on paper, is predictable from the start. As for the fun of the film, IMHO, it holds up until the last part, which comes with several problematic decisions by the characters that lead to a not entirely satisfactory climax. Nevertheless, better than the 40% here would suggest. ()

Englisch Pretty good. It’s more predictable than it should and the motivations of the villains never left the in-tray, but it’s enough fun to unwind. Alexandra Daddario even acts a little here (this time her acting is not a blemish on her looks) and Johnny Knoxville portrays a very interesting sleazebag, a role that I think is very fitting for him, even though it was undersized. But those two guys… really, hiding in a pantry from a much weaker and clearly not very well armed enemy, that wasn’t very believable (though, truth be told, I’ve also been known to do that when a woman attacks me with admirable perseverance). 60% ()
