Cast : Marc Price, Tony Fields, Lisa Orgolini, Gene Simmons (Despite what the DVD cover says, Ozzy Osbourne is in it for only a minute)

Certificate : M 15+(Australia)

Plot: Eddie Weinbauer is a typical All-American teenager, at least he was until he fell under the evil spell of Rock Music. Now he's obsessed with his heavy-metal superstar idol, Sammi Curr, who is killed in a hotel fire. Eddie becomes the recipient of the only copy of Curr's unreleased album, which when played backwards sends a message of destruction and as Halloween approaches, Eddie begins to realize this isn't only rock 'n roll... it's life and death and he must draw the line to thwart this mission.

Oh yes, this is THE heavy metal horror movie of the eighties, (or any decade). Starring Marc "Skippy from Family Ties" Price as Eddie this movie has it all. A victimised teen who discovers (or in this case is handed) great power, a revenge plot that gets out of hand, eighties heavy metal (from the band Fastway) and a story that covers teen rebellion, individuality, music backmasking, the role of heroes in society, and some nice eighties horror movie destruction.

Also "stars" Ozzy Osbourne as an anti-rock Reverend. And Ozzy must have done a great job because even though he appears for less than a minute or two, he appears on the DVD cover!

I have a soft spot for Trick Or Treat. Not only was it a film I continually hired from the video shop (remember them?) when I was a boy, it is also (according to Christian Fundamentalist preacher Jeff Godwin (in his book Dancing With Demons) one of the most evil movies ever). And it covered the old fun hobby we used to have of looking for backmasking, (ie stuff recorded backwards on albums, especially heavy metal). Of course in this movie there is more backmasking than anyone, even The Beatles could have put on an album.

Most evil movie, eighties rock, and directed by the weedy little accountant from The Untouchables, all this adds up giving it four (backmasked) Darios.
