I certainly appreciate Tom Savini's skill as a makeup and effects guru, and he's even proven that he can do an ok job with acting as long as it's in a limited role as in "From Dusk Til Dawn". But at the same time, Savini seems to be a guy who never saw a script...or perhaps a paycheck...that he didn't like. I'm not sure which movie is worse...this one or "Zombiegeddon" but both are putrid beyond all belief. Maybe he was doing a favor for someone, I don't know. The plot concerns some stupidity about a couple of two-bit crooks who owe the mob some money (with Savini as a hit man) and Scream Queen Brinke Stevens as a demoness who transforms into one of the stupidest looking creatures scene on film since the 1950's. Look I know Stevens is a famous "B" movie actress and that's fine. But she can't carry a picture and while she still looks good the fact is that she's now over 50 years old and playing parts designed for much younger women. Move over Brinke...terrible movie!
April 19, 2006 |  | STAY AWAY FROM THIS MOVIE |  |
If you're looking for a horror film, quick!! run away from this movie. The description may talk about demons but all we see that's horrific in this film, and I use the term loosely, is a demon that looks more like a gorilla covered in feathers. It's always surrounded by fog which is probably a technique used to hide the cheap f/x. The acting in this movie is ridiculously awful. Even Tom Savini, who I found was not half-bad in From Dusk 'Til Dawn, does not come across very well in this movie. Brinke Stevens: suffice to say that she's no actress, she's just there to flash her body.
Now if you're looking for a movie that shows badly made cheap sex ( you really don't see that much), well you might(???) like this movie. As far as the added Demon Familiars is concerned, it is just another excuse for cheap sex. The girls act very poorly, and don't look all that sexy. If you want films of that kind, I'm sure there's thousands of better films than this one.
When I got this film, I didn't expect an award-winner but I did expect a horror film that would probably include some nude scenes. All I ended up getting was a cheap, trashy, poorly acted film that tried but failed to include horror.
I would give this film a 0 rating but the lowest available rating is 1.
July 26, 2004 | | Demon Lust (2001) d: Goldberg, David | |
Aka: Eyes Are Upon You. Two small time thugs desperately try to raise funds to pay back the money that they owe to the mob, while hit-man Eddie `The Goose' Rao (well acted by fx expert Tom [Dawn of the Dead (1978) / From Dusk Till Dawn (1996) Savini), keeps them a little scared with some Yo-Yo torture? Afraid, the would be crooks here about a new women in town (played by beautiful Scream Queen Brinke Haunting Fear (1990) / Bad Girls From Mars (1991) / Slave Girls From Beyond Infinity (1987) Stevens) whom they plan on robbing for the money they so desperately need. The erotic she demon transforms into a grinch looking monster. She ends up killing the mob bosses family associate with only the thugs left to be blamed. "...The mob might be hot on their tail, but a bloodthirsty demon of blackest evil will make them suffer a fate worse than death." A creative, uncommercial and unsafe little project which falls somewhere between a horror and an action picture. Too, short on gore, considering Savini had some involvement, Xtra on the disc includes a short by Ward Boult and Brian Wilson entitled: Demon Familiars (2001) which also features Brinke Stevens in an Irving Klaw bedroom bondage type transgression film, much like the works of Richard Kern, or Nick Zedd.
