Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

I had never heard of this movie when I picked up the DVD in a bargain clearance. However, the combined power of Brian Yuzna, Screaming Mad George and Jeffrey Combs was too powerful to resist. I'd glad I took the plunge.This film was shot in Barcelona and it provides an exotic backdrop to the grisly and fast moving proceedings.Based on a cult comic, "Faust" is terrific. Hammy acting, tongue-in-cheek shocks and a mild slice of erotica add up to an enjoyable 90 odd minutes of fun.Irresistibly sexy British actress Isabel Brook is delightful as the long legged heroine, Jade de Camp. Every scene with Ms Brook is a pleasure to watch.This is one of those movies that fits well into a 24 hour horror festival. It's no masterpiece but the fun quotient makes it a recommended film.The top-drawer, rubbery special effects are in a similar vein to the Yuzna classic "Society". Give me good old prosthetics over CGI any day of the week! This film is as mad as a bottle of chips but is great entertainment if you're not in the mood for anything too serious!

This is a really terrible, terrible Motion Picture. The direction is inept beyond belief and the acting on the most part is appalling!Mark Frost is a bad actor, I mean really bad. Every line that he delivers is off the mark somehow and his facial expressions or contortions are hammy and ridiculous.Jeffrey Combs over acts extraordinarily and gives us a caricatured portrayal of the wisecracking hard nailed cop that has been parodied frequently. His first scene with the music therapist is vomit inspiring!!!Monica Van Campen gives the only performance of note in this picture. She is a talented actor and is the only one that transcends this awful mess. It seems that some money was spent on the Production Design, Lighting and Camera. Yet all was for nought as what you see on the screen sucks.They say you can learn more about making good movies by watching bad ones! In this case don't waste your time. It's just too crap!!

"You are the most perfect disciple I've ever had," M declares at the end, suspended over the Homonculus pit.Um, Jaspers killed like a few dozen people, and he sucked as a disciple. I mean, one of the snapshots on M's bureau showed M with Hitler. Jaspers was better than Hitler as a disciple of evil? I suppose after taking so much from this film, it's nitpicking to call attention to this one dumb detail. But it stood out for me.I enjoyed the film in some ways, and I didn't hate it entirely. There were times when it was compelling.Cheap special effects and cgi, but that's standard fare these days.I would recommend this film because there were moments when its gore quotient made me sit upright and in complete surprise. Also, there were some unexpected twists.Enjoy! But "best disciple"? Hmmm.

I wasn't sleepy last Sunday night and I chose to watch whatever was on TV. Channel 29 ("Space")was airing this, and I foolishly believed it was "Exorcist III". The movie lacks everything, but it's watchable.John Jaspers made a deal with some sort of devil named "M" to clear M's way to world domination. Somewhere in the way, he repents and ends up in an asylum, where a pretty psychiatrist (or doctor, or whatever) visits him and hears his story. Jaspers claims "they" (M's band) are coming tonight. She hears it as if he was saying "1 + 1 is 3" but on his way out sees something "unusual" and runs away. Indeed, Jaspers is taken away and buried, while the girl calls a detective friend and is caught by the same guys before the cop arrives. Luckily for her, Jaspers is back as Faust, who should (given it's an horror film) look like a devil but most of the time is a red bug ("Bugman":::). Unfortunately, M won't give up, and the bulk of the movie starts there.The cast is nothing spectacular. I wonder why Andrew Divoff keeps getting overlooked by the mainstream, since he's a hell of an actor. The girl who plays the shrink is OH beautiful, and M's chick seems to be taken out of a porn. Comic-based, it should be scary but it is not. However, despite everything, it's worth a watch, even to laugh a while.4/10
