The premise

The tale of rock band KISS and their efforts to thwart a diabolical plan by mad scientist Abner Devereaux. Devereaux has found a way to clone humans into robots in his laboratory at an amusement park. It just so happens that he plans to use the KISS concert as a platform to unleash his plan on the world. KISS must use their special powers to stop him.

Horror Vault's take

When rock legends KISS roll into an amusement park for a major concert, they cross paths with a deranged scientist whose underground laboratory harbors something far more sinister than carnival rides. Abner Devereaux has mastered the terrifying art of replacing humans with robotic duplicates, and he intends to use the band's massive platform to set his scheme in motion. Gifted with extraordinary powers that go well beyond showmanship, KISS find themselves the only thing standing between the crowd and total chaos. Equal parts superhero romp and sci-fi creature feature, this one-of-a-kind TV movie is a relic of late-70s spectacle that refuses to be forgotten.
