What happens

Dead Girls is a 1990 American slasher film directed by Dennis Devine, and starring Diana Karanika, Angela Eads, Kay Schaber, and Angela Scaglione. It follows the members of a female-fronted death metal group who are stalked by a masked killer while vacationing at a mountain cabin. The film was inspired by a lawsuit brought against Ozzy Osbourne, whose song "Suicide Solution" allegedly inspired the 1984 suicide of 19-year-old John Daniel McCollum. Filmed in Southern California, the film was released direct-to-video in 1990. It marked the first feature film credit of cinematographer Aaron Schneider. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
