Noel Murray Los Angeles Times 10/18/2018
Clumsy and corny, the film plays like a pat showbiz cautionary tale, half-heartedly reworked into lurid pulp. Go to Full Review
Dennis Harvey Variety 10/18/2018
Short on thrills and energy despite its title, this slick yet sluggish feature often seems barely interested in the horror elements that are, after all, what will primarily lure viewers in. Go to Full Review

2/5
Sold on the fact that David Arquette and Luke Wilson star, the latter is in three scenes and makes little to no impact to the story or film. Go to Full Review

1.5/10
This film might actually turn you into a brain-nomming zombie, or something you'd find stuck to the bottom of your Smokey Joe. The script alone could fry your circuits. Go to Full Review
Aaron Peterson The Hollywood Outsider 11/21/2018
6/10
A wink of a performance from David Arquette and an electric turn from Allie Gonino overcome a few distracting special effects to deliver a clever rock 'n roll thriller. Go to Full Review
Chuck Foster Film Threat 10/22/2018
9/10
An interesting blend of dramatic scenes and supposed archival footage makes for a quasi-documentarian approach along the lines of Behind the Music or, more to the point, Paranormal Witness. A music video interlude proves his eye exceeds most others. Go to Full Review

Dillon S Jun 21 This film is one of those great bad films. Honestly, I loved it! Great music. See more Chris H Feb 24 David Arquette fan so, not bad. See more 01/02/2019 Sorry to say, but this lifeless film is quite awful, filled with terribly stilted and flat dialogue and ridiculous plot elements. Below even B-movie quality, so save your time and money and avoid. See more @jeroduptown 12/04/2018 So, she used to be a timid little girl trying to front for a band (led by washed up Arquette) UNTIL she gets hit by lighting. Somehow - she miraculously comes back to life and sucks peoples faces to death in order to become a rock superstar. Hey - Arquette and Wilson - did you read the script? Cause it was bunk. See more 09/29/2018 Dreadful, david Arquette and Luke Wilson must've been realllly short on cash to sign on for this abomination See more Read all reviews
