There is not long, I watched the movie "KISS meets the phantom of the park" a TV movie released in 1978 and featuring the famous rock band, KISS, in their own role.
A big thank you to Emily and Brayden, my two Canadian friends, for making me discover this film.
The story takes place at Magic Mountain, a sophisticated amusement park or KISS must give a concert. The story seems to be normal, when appears Abner Devereaux, the creator of most of the inventions of the park and a man who seems to be quite normal. But he hides his true nature. Indeed, Abner is a mad scientist who has his own laboratory hidden in a sort of bunker, or he manufactures robots that look very much like real humans. Abner kidnaps people in the park and turn them into muppets who obey his orders. KISS gives his concert quite normally, but after they get to know Melissa, a pretty young woman, whose boyfriend, Sam, has just disappeared (kidnapped by Abner).
We also discover that KISS are not mere human beings. Each member has special powers and they pull their forces of four talismans, each representing a symbol of a group member. KISS will do everything to stop Devereaux, but the scientist will send these robots to face the band. Abner seems to have an interest to capture KISS, then create perfect replicas of them.
Peter Criss is the Catman. He is able of making great leaps and knows to fight melee. But we saw no other powers with him. I think that they would have to add him a power, as a night vision or the ability to run faster than a normal human, like a cat.
Ace Frehley is the Spaceman. He is able to teleport or he see fit and send small flashes with his fingers. He at also a great agility and talent to fight as Peter. Ace is a little bit the "comic" of the group, who says funny phrases like "Hi Curly". And of course, we can hear his famous laugh during the film.
Paul Stanley is the Starchild. He can shoot lasers from his eyes, take control of people's minds or listen to conversations remotely. Paul seems to be somewhat the leader of the group, leading the others to the den of Devereaux. Paul also knows very well fight.
Gene Simmons is the Demon. He can spit flames from his mouth, has great physical strength and a resistance to hits. He can also growl like a monster and has a more resonant voice than the other members of the group. We could say that he is the least human of the band. Gene seems to be the darkest of the group, hardly speaking and always having a rather dark look. But hey, he is the demon.
In conclusion, if you love KISS, you'll love this film. Me, I loved it. I would put the maximum score: 10/10.
