Music producer Victor Papadopolous (Konstantinos Tzoumas) wants to
create the perfect rock band - from bodyparts of dead rockstars. Of course
(?), the union of the dead doesn't like that very much, so they rise from
their graves. Papadopolous' band is an instant success - but his lead
singer (Tzimis Panousis) finds a mind of his own, catches the eye of
Papadopolous daughter Ioulieta (Isavella Mavraki), and the two run away,
with Papadopolous' goons in hot pursuit. However, then the two of them run
into the union of the dead, and the dead transform Ioulieta into one of
them - to force our undead musician to perform for their cause. It all
ends in an extended musical performance. A horror musical that
tries to come across as a political satire - and I'm afraid to say it
fails. Basically, the film's satire is too blunt, it doesn't really
deliver its points but tries to hammer it home. All that is accompanied by
less than subtle comedy, while the horror aspects fail to create any kind
of real atmosphere. Some of the music's pretty decent at least ...
