Warning: Spoilers
This movie has several titles, including "Hollow Body", "Lightening Strike" and "High Voltage". That's almost always a bad sign, that they are selling the thing to several streaming services trying to find the widest audience.

So a couple of party crashing musicians crash the party of a washed up rock star, when they all discover a young female talent who has something. So they form a band. However, after a gig goes badly, she goes home with her stage mom, when they are struck by lightening.

They shy girl suddenly takes on her mom's bad tendencies, where she proceeds to kill people by frying them. The rest of her band kind of knows what's going on, but they keep going along with it anyway. After some misadventures, they go to the big climax... which is resolved with a voice over.

Come to think, a lot of things involved voice overs where a scene would have been better. Important rule of story telling- Show, don't tell!

David Arquette is pretty good as the narrator/lead. The other actors are trying, I guess, but the action is slow.
