This is a cheesetacular combination of The Omen and Carrie, notable for two things: It has one of the most amazing new wave/punk soundtracks ever assembled (Ramones, Sex Pistols, B-52s, Talking Heads, Richard Hell...), and it gives A Nightmare On Elm Street 2 a solid run for it's money for the title of "gayest horror movie of the 1980s."

Andrew (Stefan Arngrim) is an intelligent, effeminate kid who is always picked on by classmates, his father hates him... oh, and he's also the living incarnation of Satan. I'm sure we've all been there. The school bully (doing his best Travolta in Carrie impression) hassles Andrew in the school parking lot, telling him he'll grow breasts if he smokes pot, then in gym class he kisses him in the shower. Yep, that'll show him.

Meanwhile, a classmate of Andrew's is having strange dreams and an old woman tries to gather together a group of angels to fight evil.

Another day, another gym class trauma: coach makes the class play dodge ball. When Andrew shows up 54 seconds late for class, the coach makes him do push ups while he harasses the kids playing dodge ball. Andrew's powers flare up, and a dodge ball thrown by the coach kills a student- not quite as cool as the basketball death in Deadly Friend, but it'll do. Andrew is freaked out by this, and does what any traumatized youth would do in such a situation: he kills a dog and drinks it's blood, causing his eyes to glow yellow.

"All men have secrets and here is mine so let it be known..."

The local church is putting on an outdoor passion play, and the guy playing Jesus develops stigmata during the show, sending the audience on the run. Meanwhile, some of the kids decide the ruined old church with all the inverted crosses and stuff would be a great place to have a party. Andrew demonstrates why satanic powers would be kick ass by raising the dead and changing into something more comfortable...

The eyeshadow is really a nice touch.

So now Andrew is on a full on rampage. He finds the bully, and kisses him again, causing the bully to develop tits. The bully is so freaked out by this he stabs himself in the chest. The forces of good finally track Andrew down, and we in the audience learn that a climactic battle between good and evil looks a lot like something out of Xanadu.

So, is it any good?
