Heavy Metal Picnic (2010)


Directed by Jeff Krulik
My rating: 2.5 stars out of 4

Friends who live on a "farm" in Maryland organize a "field party" featuring bands on a homemade stage. The usual assortment of characters show up: metal heads on acid, ostracized punks, dead heads with joints hanging from their mouths and bikers who think they are the police. Luckily some genius back in 1985 captured it all on an expensive camcorder and actually saved the VHS tapes. Interspersed with this vintage footage are interviews with some of the same people 25 years later, older but still more or less the same. Very entertaining and often hilarious, from the makers of the better known Heavy Metal Parking Lot.
