Slaughterhouse Rock
Alcatraz. For 39 years it held society's most depraved killers. Now it's home to something even worse...
Directed by Dimitri Logothetis
Produced by Arista Films
A low-budget 1980s horror film that blends supernatural possession, demonic evil, and heavy metal aesthetics into a campy, visceral romp through Alcatraz's haunted past.
A man visits Alcatraz prison after having dreams about all the people who died there. When he gets there, his brother is possessed by an evil cannibal demon. The ghost of a female heavy metal singer who was killed there tries to help the man fight the monster.
