A rock star named Vince (Alice Cooper) has a promising career and plans to go far with it as him and his crew travel to Vince's uncle's mansion to record his next music video as he was unhappy with his last one.
However it is a foggy drive at night and people are attacked by what seems like a werewolf as Vince briefly encountered one with his wife Sandra (Victoria Vera).
When they arrive at the mansion Vince doesn't find his uncle so they make themselves at home.
One of the actresses that will be in Vince's next video named Angela (Pepita James) has a terrifying nightmare that Vince became a werewolf after encountering a crazed old man (Bernarbe Barta Barri) while they were on the road after accidentally hitting a German shepherd telling them that they are all going to die because of Vince as he knows something about him the rest don't.
This greatly disturbs Vince as his family was cursed by a werewolf as his father was brutally killed by locals. Sandra tries to assure him that everything will be fine but once they shoot Vince's video they spot Vince's uncle's corpse crashing through a window and then the terror begins as redneck townfolks want to hunt down Vince and kill him due to his family curse and Vince's crew are attacked by wild dogs along with a giant one that kills them.

Well this film is really bad unless you're a die hard Alice Cooper fan like me.
Well Alice Cooper was hired by a die hard fan in Spain believe it or not and offered him alot of money to do the project which was probably why the film was made on an awful budget.
Yet it does seem interesting but it is overly long and the scenes take up too much time plus it is a real sleeper.
Still if you're in the mood for a bad movie it's alot of campy fun.

Well the acting was spoken in english from these Spanish actors but it was overdubbed by American actors as they do a wooden job like many voice over actors doing a foreign film nonetheless probably due to their accents and the film being Americanised to top it all off. The sound is also off synch too.
I mean it's hard to tell if they're doing a good job as you don't hear their voices but they seem to perform well by watching them.
The main one that stood in my mind was Pepita James as she had the perfect looks to be someone freaked out by the horrible incidents.
Emilio Linder and Ricardo Palacios look good too as the Sherrif and deputy even if they weren't a big part of the show.
Bernabe Barta Barri who played the demented old man stood out very well and his voice over actor seemed to do okay too using the spooky type voice.
I just loved watching Alice Cooper in his role even if he isn't an actor himself as he proves he can perform playing a decent everyday man than his shocking character he portrays in concerts.

An old man is bloodied
people are bloodily attacked by dogs but it isn't too gruesome
A bloodied corpse falls from a crashing window
Angela is shot in the stomach
A redneck townsfolk is shot in the head
Vince is badly bitten by the werewolf on his shoulder

Clyde Anderson's direction is sometimes rough but still he pulls his weight well enough for a dark looking screen like this film.
He shows great foggy moments with the werewolf as well as with the fellow who played the Coop's uncle going outside of his mansion and pitted against him were vicious dogs
He directed Alice and Victoria Vera well together when he tells her his family history and then showing their romance towards one another
My favourite direction of his was when the music video is shot in the mansion with Alice and Pepita's scene are together and she comes down the stairs and during a lightning scene she spots an image of a person reflecting in a window and then the corpse of the person crashes onto her
While the cast playing the crew preps for the video looks classy too.
I also loved the first music video shown in this film as ANderson shows great shots of it with Alice coming out of his limo and doing all kinmds of neat characters in it.
The dogs attacking people however doesn't look too creepy as Anderson could've made it look more convincing.
The very end is very sad and may upset you Alice Cooper fans like me (You'll cry) and it was a shame a sequel never arose.

I thoroughly enjoyed Grupo Dichtomy's music in the film especially with the opening by having the howling keyboard sound effects as it will give you goosebumps and it was played during the middle of this film when Alice was telling Victoria's character his family history and it was playing during the closing credits too.
The music is a little cheesy but in a great way.

We have a songtrack by the Allan Parsons Project during when the people are prepping up to do a music video with two excellent songs of his titled "A Dream Within a Dream" and "The Raven" as both those songs fit the film perfectly

We get a dynamic performance by Alice Cooper performing after the opening credits of his song "Identity Crisis" and my favourite chilling number "See Me in the Mirror".
Both of these songs were never released on any of his albums or on a soundtrack but before the millenium rose he released a box set titled the Life & Crimes of Alice Cooper as these two songs were featured on it. A fantastic job he did with these songs.

Old Man: (During a nightmare sequence) You're all going to die! You're already dead!!!

Vincent Raven: Listen, werewolves *do* exist.
Sandra: Oh, bullshit, Vince! The year 2000 is just around the corner. I am a recognized expert in electronic videos and you are the hottest rock n' roll star - in the world! You're making records, videos, movies - on high-tech electronic equipment of fantastic sophistication. You can get on a plane tonight and be in Australia tomorrow. And *you're* scared of werewolves.

Vincent Raven: You sure are something; do you know that, Sandra?
Sandra: Do *you* know something, Vince? As soon as we deliver this video job, we're heading straight for Moorea, one of the hundred and thirty Polynesian islands. Floating in crystal clear water - two weeks of nude sunbathing, coconut drinks and making love. I love you, Vince; I can't stand to see you like this.
