Succubus: Hell-Bent

Sometimes, we overlook the lesser-known films.

Sometimes, there's a brilliant movie lurking there. Brilliantly directed, brilliantly filmed, brilliantly acted, brilliantly scripted and scored.

We find ourselves caught up in it, totally, breathless, on the edge of our seats, waiting to see what will come next.

We become one with the characters, mesmerized, as they take us to places we've never even dreamed imagined. We become a true "captive audience". And we think about the film for days. We talk about it with friends.

But as for this little piece of drivel? It fails on all counts. Totally predictable, acted as if by a high school drama class, and with a painful score that has nothing to do with what's on the screen, this has to be the most "brilliant" time wasters I've ever seen. Likely to be enjoyed by those who smoke illegal substances and think deep thought as the munchies kick in, it's nonetheless drivel. FF and making up your own dialog doesn't help this turkey. What little plot there is never gets resolved, and the characters, ALL of them, are as likable as a bag of dog excrement left on your front porch.

IMDb doesn't offer a low enough rating. You'd be better served watching paint dry, or grass grow. Doesn't meet the standards of "Made For TV".

While not totally unwatchable, this movie was definitely one of the worst movies I've seen in a while; I was reluctant to pick this up in my local Blockbuster the first few times, and I had gone through all the good movies, and so I figured that I'd check this out just because.

That was a mistake.

Let's start off with the plot: a rich playboy meets this hot chick, unwittingly not knowing that she's a demoness from the bowels of the underworld.

I'm not even sure, but the fact that Gary Busey was cast in this travesty of a film might have been a big warning to people in the store.

In any case, here's the verdict: 2 out of 10. (By the way, I'm being generous... not stupid.)

Okay, this wasn't a bad movie. It wasn't a good movie. It was what it was.

So this guy named Adam meets a Succubus named Lilith... (and to complete the Biblical analogies, is turned down by a girl named Eve in a bar.)

The "real" actors in this movie (which is to say, people you may have actually heard of) - David Keith, Kelly Hu and the always insane Gary Busey - only get a few minutes of screen time each, and I think that they only appear in this movie so that their names can be put on the cover so you think you are watching a better film than you are seeing.

Still, for a Direct to DVD movie, this movie had pretty good production values, including the jet scenes (where two pilots lost their lives during filming.) and the acting wasn't horrible. Some of the lines were funny in a dark comedy sort of way.

Lots of hot chicks...

It's bubble gum for the brain.

This movie is the biggest piece of trash I have ever seen. Where should I start? I can't believe they actually spent money on this thing.

First off, the Succubus is just plain ugly.. has a great ass and legs but her face and those yellow teeth have got to go.

Kelly Hu was good, but had a very small part..

Lorenzo Lamas.. what a great 5 minutes he had.. instead of making this flop he and Bobby Sixkiller should be making a Renegade reunion show.

Gary Busey.. another small part.. looks and sounded like he is on the crack pipe.. smoked so much.. he is cross-eyed now.

Has a bunch of other no name actors ( or lack thereof) in this movie.

Well.. David Keith is in it.. remember him? ( OFFICER AND A GENTLEMAN) Heck.. he has bills to pay and that toupee he wears won't pay for itself.

If you are drunk or stoned this movie can be tolerated.. If you are sober.. you will shoot your TV set in the first 5 minutes of this turd.

I am actually still watching it right now. T minus 20 and counting.

I feel the need to share my shock and awe over a this masterful piece of film. It is just truly a bad movie, with such classic lines as, "You know how I know you're lying? You're lips are moving" delivered by Kelly Hu as the detective. I like bad movies enough to keep watching them.... to see how bad they get. As far as bad movies go, I give this a 6.5. The dialogue is camp, the acting is sub par and the special effects are budget, but put together, it has all the makings of a decent B movie.

If you're unemployed, home and procrastinating getting on with your day, waste 2 hours with this gem. Or don't. It won't make a difference.
