Full Plot Details

A truly mad concoction, blending 1950s juvenile delinquents, sci-fi melodrama, song-and-dance, and a touch of horror, everything in just the right combination to create an engaging big screen spectacle! This curious and curiously entertaining story involves one Jonathan Xavier and his devoted misfit gang who, incidentally, have been exiled to Earth from the far reaches of outer space. Johnny's former girlfriend Bliss has left him and stolen his Resurrection Suit, a cosmic, mind-bending uniform that gives the owner power over others. Along the way, there will be several highly stylized musical numbers, lots of genuinely humorous dialogue, and a wacky plot-twist or two, all beautifully captured on the very last of Kodak's black-and-white Plus-X film stock.

Movie Reviews

TheHorrorShow - 5/10 by Scott WeinbergAn affectionate and consistently amusing homage to a whole bunch of movies that probably shouldn't go together.
User Review - 10/10 by Ken SThis is a great 1950s B-Movie homage/parody. The plot holes are absolutely intentional, as is the sometimes goofy, cliche ridden dialogue. The musical bits are Grease meets Rocky Horror show tunes, not intended to be authentic to the mid century period this picture is (may be?) set in. The visual quality is warm and striking (shot on actual film) and the winks and tongue in cheek nudges are endearing. A great, fun, '50s/60s/'70s B-Movie mash up that fans of John Waters, Ed Wood, Screamin' Lord Sutch,The Cramps and Roger Corman should love. I know that I do!
User Review - 10/10 by Jonathan LIt's a unique, well done hard to categorize film that seems like it was made for midnight viewings at the kind of theaters that let you drink beer during the show. De Anna Joy Brooks is fantastic.
User Review - 8/10 by Steven GIt is a black-and-white 50s-style B-movie teenage-rebel sci-fi musical. You either want to see it based on that or it's probably not for you. Kind of runs out of steam toward the end, but it's fun and campy enough to recommend.
User Review - 4/10 by Greg SAlien juvenile delinquents are exiled to earth, where they scheme to control a "resurrection suit" that can bring a recently deceased rock and roll star back from the dead. In black and white with musical numbers. The hepcat influences here are so cool you root for the movie to work, but the incoherent script, flat musical numbers and lame attempts at comedy lead to nowheresville. Still, there are a few campy kicks along the way, including "The Office"'s Creed Bratton as an unlikely rock idol.
User Review - 4/10 by Matt MThe hook for The Ghastly Love of Johnny X lies in its similarities or attempted similarities with the sci-fi horrror bizarre vision of The Rocky Horror Picture Show. However, lacking in sexual charge and being way more campy than rebelliously unique, Bunnell's film ends up feeling more like a mild John Waters production, full of style but of little relevance, substance or originality. Eventually, this films ends up being tiring in its shallow ways instead of exciting and fun.
User Review - 4/10 by Laurie LA 50's B-movie made in the 2010's. It had its moments, but all in all I was a bit disappointed.
