Crwthod A lot more amusing than I thought it would be.
ActuallyGlimmer The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.
Bessie Smyth Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.
sockersaken There's not much more to add, most of the facts about this movie has already been posted in these reviews, but I want to add that this is a B-movie parody. If you're going into this thinking that this will give you that chill down your spine and you'll be scared to go pee in the middle of the night, this movie is not for you. Instead I suggest loading up on drugs, because you're in for a fucking acid-trip. It's a good movie for what it is, if you go into the movie thinking that it will be a parody and that they don't take themselves seriously then this movie is gonna be great for you. The acting is awkward and weird, the camera does its own thing and there's just so, so many weird, badly done effects. Nothing makes sense.What really did it for me though was the outro. I'm assumig most people aren't going to make this so far, but it mentions that no animals, spirits, demons (besides the Incubus), or humans were harm in the making of this movie, and they thank their kids, partners, parents, pets and friends for putting up with them.
GL84 Moving into a new house, a couple finds the locked room in their basement houses a dangerous demonic being trapped within that turns him into a ravenous, lust-desiring maniac to feed the spirit and forces her to look at the occult measures that originally stopped it to do so again.This one here was quite the enjoyable haunted house effort. One of the best aspects of this one is how it manages to rein in plenty of sleazy elements alongside plenty of traditional horror elements. From the beginning where the demon is shown sexually stimulating the daughter in her bedroom, this one lets on the idea of utilizing both effectively which carries on nicely here with the remaining parts of the film. That includes the scenes of the separated duo being pleased by what they assume is the other one only to find out otherwise later on, the sensual scene in the laundry room being molested by the demon unknowingly as well as the intimidation tactics in the restaurant that offer some really enjoyable elements to tie into its central theme. Even the flashback to the hippie party in the past that unleashes the main demon comes off well with its solid mixture of combining the erotic elements featured in the nudity with the scenes of the creature running wild on the remaining guests which has some great action featured. There's also some fun to be had with more traditional horror elements including such strong and intense tie-ins for the occult used throughout the different history's within the house and how the connection with the released demon works into the storyline all comes together nicely which is what makes the horror scenes so much fun. The attacks on the different guests to the house as well as the final reveal of the different creatures within the sealed room that is full of pulpy wombs, blood-splattered walls and tentacles that really create quite a visual impression as well as giving this the kind of sleazy feel that makes for quite an enjoyable finale. The fine action that results in the aftermath of the creatures' release stalking them through the house also manages to work incredibly well here in giving this a truly enjoyable style that works hand-in-hand with the stellar work throughout the rest of the film. As well as the stellar use of practical props with minimal CGI involved here, these elements really give this one a ton to like to hold out over it's minor and barely detrimental flaws. The main issue here is in why they don't recognize the behavior changes earlier and done more to stop it, as it's plain the changes made to him and it really should've done more to play up that something's wrong with that than what's done here. Even some of the other incidents in the house don't raise the kind of questions that should've been brought up as their amorous antics that no one else really claims could've been given more weight here. Beyond this, though, there's not much else wrong here.Rated Unrated/R: Graphic Violence, Full Nudity, Graphic Violence and sexual situations.
Alan Shortman Ignore the bad reviews. Or at least adjust your expectations. Alright, this isn't a serious horror film.... There are plenty of those: Insidious, The Conjuring, etc; perhaps too many. This is just silly fun, with good gore/deaths, a neat twist on the evil-in-the-basement trope (Amityville meets Alien: Resurrection), and orgasms galore. It's memorable, at least. I would like to thank the creator for brightening up my day.
pwilliams-16825 This is simply a gawd awful film. There's not a believable character to be found, let alone empathize with. Generally I'm one to watch a movie to it's end once I've started it and this one was no exception. It was a complete 94 minute waste of time. The plot is hardly original but it could have (and has been) done much, much better than it is here. I've loved the horror genre ever since watching Bela Lugosi in Dracula as a kid many many years ago. There is absolutely no horror, or even a good fright, in this flick. How it's gotten any rating on here higher than a 2 is beyond me.
