The plot: A dubbed Alice Cooper plays a rockstar named Victor Raven who angers locals when his presence seems to be responsible for the return of a scary pupper who killed his parents. 


Random observations:

  • Alice Cooper kind of has a weird mullet in this, which often undermines his acting -- which despite being dubbed by another actor, is still quite impressive.
  • Half of this movie has the blue glow of the Total Eclipse of the Heart video and therefore gives me a sense memory of comfort.
  • Alice Cooper's eyeshadow likes to change color and intensity within scenes. It's pretty magnificent.

I kind of wish this were cheesier honestly. The opening song is promising but then it's rather slow. Alice Cooper is fun to watch, but nobody else really is.

The verdict: A must-see for any Alice Cooper fan, but other than that, there's not much here.

Random observations: Movie: "You're gonna need a bigger Band-Aid". Me: Hahahahahahahahahaha *laughcries* Why is this movie so green? Sharkapitation! Swamp Shark provides us with mindless b.s. human relationships as we wait for them all to meet unseemly demises. Peppered with obnoxious swamp rock, we are thrust directly into the world of animal smuggling as represented by the rejected auditioners of Real World: Nameless Bayou Town. 0.1/1 Directing 0.3/1 Cinematography 0.2/1 Visual design 0.3/1 Editing 0.1/1 Plot  0/1 Dialogue 0.3/1 ...
