The journey of a boy, Steven, through a chain of fourteen songs sung by horror rock guru, Alice Cooper. Quite sincerely, it is unwatchable. At least, as far as the visual experience is concerned. An utterly tasteless pasteboard home movie. Luckily it is the excellent music that is the important thing here. Typical seventies Alice Cooper. If you know his solo-debut concept album “Welcome to My Nightmare", you know what to expect. The only differences are that the twelfth song in the movie, “Ballad of Dwight Fry" is from a later album, and that “The Black Widow" comes at a different place than on the album. The pieces de la resistance are the spoken interludes between songs. And when you confront Alice Cooper with Vincent Price and his inimitable charisma, diction and intonation, quality is guaranteed. And the result? Excellent, but it’s better to put on the album alone and let your own fantasy work.
