William Brown, a neurotic, self-absorbed musician determined to finish his prog-rock magnum opus, faces a creative roadblock in the form of a noisy and grotesque neighbor named Vlad. Finally working up the nerve to demand that Vlad keep it down, William inadvertently decapitates him. But, while attempting to cover up one murder, William’s accidental reign of terror causes victims to pile up and become undead corpses who torment and create more bloody detours on his road to prog-rock Valhalla.

Like its prog rock subject matter, this movie is a giant pile of squandered talent and potential, with admittedly, some really good bits and pieces peppered throughout. The first 20 mins really promised a great entry in the horror comedy genre. Maybe not quite dead alive level, but, I was pumped. Then it just kind of forgot about any themes, coherence, or structure and just bumbled along till it ended. Some really good puppet and physical effects, worth watching for that alone, and a few decent digs at prog rock didn't hurt either.
