An interesting premise, taking the devil worship hysteria by the horns. If not for the lame deaths, poor pacing and weird performances, it could have been pretty good. Fun tunes though.

A fantastic Heavy Metal Horror movie with a great soundtrack by Fastway! “Skippy” from Family Ties is a great protagonist here. I think it should have ended at the big Halloween dance.
