**_Psychic energies draw six students and a teacher to The Rock_** Shot in the spring of 1987, this takes bits from three prior 80s’ movies and meshes them together with the unique setting of the landmark Alcatraz Island. The films I’m talking about are “An American Werewolf in London,” “Trick or Treat” and “The Lost Boys.” While it’s a ‘B’ movie by comparison and easily the least of these, there are enough highlights to make it worth checking out for those interested. Tammy Hyler as conservative Jan stands out in the feminine department, although the camera tends to focus on blonde Hope Marie Carlton (Krista) in various stages of undress. Toni Basil shows up in the second half and perks things up. She was 43 during shooting and looked ten years younger. If you’re not familiar with her, she played the beautiful redhead ‘teen’ in “Village of the Giants” and was one of two female hitchhikers in Jack Nicholson’s “Five Easy Pieces.” In 1982 she became a one-hit wonder with "Oh Mickey, you're so fine." The four songs on the rockin’ sountrack were composed by Devo main-men Mark Mothersbaugh & Gerald Casale and performed by their band. While the soundtrack isn’t as notable as Fastway’s songs for “Trick or Treat,” it serves its purpose and the closing credits song “The Only One,” sung by Basil, is as good as anything in that other flick. It runs 1h 25m and was shot in Santa Monica (Gardner Brothers' house) and Los Feliz in Los Angeles (the school) with studio work done in Culver City. Exterior shooting was done around Alcatraz. GRADE: B-

Slaughterhouse Rock is a below-average addition to the horror genre that I would only recommend to '80s horror enthusiasts

I recently watched Slaughterhouse Rock (1987) on Shudder. The storyline follows a man who experiences strange dreams about people who died at Alcatraz. He decides to visit the prison with his friend and becomes possessed by a demon. The spirit of a deceased female rock singer invades the man's dreams and tries to help him fight the demon in his head.Directed by Dimitri Logothetis (Pretty Smart), the film stars Toni Basil (Five Easy Pieces), Nicholas Celozzi (Marked for Death), Donna Denton (Nashville), and Al Fleming (The Getaway).This movie is a classic '80s horror flick with characters, circumstances, and a storyline typical of the era. The settings are well-chosen and help capture the imagination. The jail scenes are actually pretty good; unfortunately, the horror elements themselves are lacking, and the kills are very mediocre. The acting is adequate, and there's definitely some '80s horror hotties and nudity. The soundtrack is fantastic and maybe my favorite part of the movie.In conclusion, Slaughterhouse Rock is a below-average addition to the horror genre that I would only recommend to '80s horror enthusiasts. I would score this film a 4/10 and recommend it with the appropriate expectations.
