As noted before, I have been watching a good deal of B horror movies. So this is more for those that might like those kinds of movies.
This one was kind of odd. Odd in the idea that many times B movies have horrible acting. This one was OK as far as acting goes. But over all it was pretty dumb. It could have been done better with a better screen play of it.
I mean why is death only attacking people in this one area. Why does he have some kind of drill/saw hand attachment?
During the movie I was not sure if it was some kind of alien doing the things, some kind of monster or some crazy guy.
They tried to make a kind of twist at the end but it was just goofy.

The Runaways.
Not bad, not great.
Was surprised by the job Kristen Stewart (famous for her twilight movie roles) did as Joan Jett. She did a pretty good job IMO.
The movie was good as far as telling how the band started, what it went through and the lead singers problems. The show they did in Japan is a pretty good recreation of the actual event (seen the real performance of sherry bomb in japan on video).
I kept thinking I knew the actor who played the manager but just could not place him. Turns out he was the guy who played the FBI/IRS (can not remember which) on Boardwalk Empire.
The one thing that irked me was at the end when they were putting up little blurbs of what some of the band members went on to do after the band broke up and they only talked about the Singer, Joan Jett and the manager. I wondered why they did not talk about Lita Ford going on to have success.
Turns out Lita and some of the other members of the band did not want to sell their stories so I guess they kind of left those characters out at the end and only gave their characters very bare roles during the film.
There was some good music in the movie for the genre and the time period so that was a bonus.
I don't think it is a movie I would watch again but if someone likes documentary type movies about rock bands they might enjoy it as a one time type movie.
