One great rental, 2 February 2003
Author: xavier excalibur (xexyz1022@yahoo.com) from Los Angeles CA

I have seen this "movie" about fifty times. I love it. It is a ridiculous story about a nerd who tries out for a Poison type band and fails miserably. He then meets a voodoo priestess and she gives him the wish to a great rock star... for a price though. He now has to kill to live. Part of his wish is the ability to play guitar amazingly(the amazing guitar shredding is done in close-ups for all us music freaks.) He also gets 3 hot broads to live with him and do anything he wants. Then he meets Traci Lords falls for her and eventually fights her boyfriend in a funny ending. What a great movie. There are some hilarious jokes, nudity, metal guitar playing and just nonsense in general. I loved this movie. I rent it every so often and show it to people for the first time. They always roll their eyes when I tell them the title of the movie but in the end they get a good laugh and actually appreciate it. You will too! Enjoy
