Perfect cast and a good story
A Masterpiece!
Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.
Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
If you've enjoyed other movies with Dean Cameron (the Ski Schools', Summer School, Men at Work), then this one will have you in stitches. You've got to love Thomas Dolby ("She Blinded Me With Science" singer) AND Tony Basil (of "Hey Mickey you're so fine..." fame) dating the movie and giving it an awesomely hilarious 80's tone. In short, Rockula is thoroughly entertaining if you are a fan of 80's cheese.This movie was made knowing it'd be cheesy, which is why it bugs me when people give it bad reviews. That's like giving a science fiction movie bad ratings because it stunk as a comedy. As a 'B' movie--what this movie was meant to be--there is no question this movie ranks up there with the best of 'em.
I must say that this isn't a great work of art, but if you want something silly to laugh and say "Oh My God!" at, this is it! It's absolutely perfect for a bad movie night on Halloween. I bought it for $30 and I'm glad I did!
Gleefully cheesy movie that features Toni Basil, Thomas Dolby, Bo Diddley, and the furry eyebrows of Dean Cameron. Centuries-old vampire starts rock band to impress woman and overcome centuries-old curse. Along the way, we're treated to classic vampire rock and rap, a bit of blues, and even some Sheena-Eastonish prancing and pouting by Tawny Fere. Not a great movie by any estimation, but a good party flick.
Excellent songs with ("Oh Mickey your so fine...") Toni Basil and Bo Diddley. Lots of fun.
