Wow

This movie is so bad… and age certainly hasn’t been kind. This is really really bad. Holy shit bad

We were talking about this when I was back in Chicago visiting my friend the Alderman; how we had the premiere circled on the calendar and it was like our Super Bowl. So I had to revisit and this is the perfect time since there’s monsters involved. I recalled so much and yet forgot how terrible everything is. Ofc the best parts are when the band is on stage just performing; that’s the good stuff. But wow this movie is bad.

However (it will never happen) if they restored this to an immaculate presentation and released on UHD with commentaries by Gene and Paul as one then Ace and Peter as another (‘cause they can’t be in the same room together), I’d pay $100 for it and round up a thousand more ppl to do the same. I’d guess there’d be way more than a thousand interested parties given the entirety of the Kiss Army.
