With the underground success of Metalocalypse, the deification of Ozzy Osbourne as reality television star, and countless Behind the Music profiles in which aging headbangers warmly reminisce about their glory days of boozing and whoring, it was only a matter of time before someone transferred The Black Roses from a forgotten video tape master to a commercially available DVD (Synapse Films).
It's a matter of personal taste whether such a transfer should ever have occurred, and certainly depends on your age and tastes circa 1988. If around that time you teased your hair and strangled your leg with a bandana, then you likely already own a copy of this movie which you store on the shelf next to the Lost Boys and This is Spinal Tap. If you never experienced this sordid time in history, then viewing this movie about a demonic heavy metal band who wreaks havoc on a small town will most likely leave you with a look of dumb bewilderment.
