All these punk rockers and party freaks are on their way to a New Year's countdown celebration slash Made in Japan concert bash hosted by Diane "Blaze" Sullivan (Roz Kelly).
This party is for broadcast tv, and during the show people call in to vote for their fav song.
Blaze picks up a call and a strange voice tells her someone she knows is going to be murdered tonight and the voice says its name is Evil and Evil says these things through a voice modulator and Evil sounds creepy and Blaze becomes a little worried you could say.
Meanwhile Blaze's son has a psychotic hissy fit because he landed a role in a show and his mother doesn't care and his mother doesn't pay attention to him.
Evil proves he's legit at 9pm PDT which is 12am EST.
He tapes his murder and again phones Blaze and plays the tape and tells Blaze a person is going to die at midnight in each time zone.
While watching the movie I kept thinking it looked niced. I liked its camera choices, the camera's personality, and certain aesthetic considerations.
Turns out d.p. Thomas E. Ackerman went on to shoot the original Frankenweenie short, as well as Beetlejuice, Moonwalker, Baby's Day Out, Jumanji, Rat Race, Snow Dogs, Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy, Looking for Comedy in the Muslim World, Scary Movie 4, and other movies. I didn't even mention he was a camera operator on One from the Heart and other movies.
Pretty cool. Director Emmett Alston later made um Nine Deaths of the Ninja and um Demonwarp um and um Tigershark and 3 Little Ninjas and the Lost Treasure um.
In the movie things go off the rails for a bit, not crazy off the rails, but still cool. Basically, owing to a traffic accident, Evil ends up detouring through a drive-in, while dressed as a priest, and being chased by a motorcycle gang.
From there he kidnaps a girl mid-makeout and has more misadventures,
eventually making his way to Blaze,
and once he meets Blaze,
they have adventures together :)
