Featured reviews
The acting was surprisingly really good. The story is just okay but that really isn't the important part, if that makes sense. All of the practical effects are great. It's quirky, fun, gross, and pretty fast-paced once all the character development is over.
Overall, it's definitely worth a watch.
Acting is good and the characters are great, but the movie itself is fairly flimsy, cliche and doesn't hold together too well.
Overall I found it fine - not a bad movie, but not a good one. Though the actors were great, just wish there was more substance to the main plot.
Still, turns out they watched enough of that movie to bring demon to life and she now goes after our gang. The movie owner also returns and falls victim to the sexy Lilith, not before the kids discover a naughty secret he's been hiding. Then the operator runs into the demon, and one of the guys becomes possessed. That leaves the girl and her would-be bf to resolve things.
Porno is that kind of movie you want to like. The cast is likable enough. The succubus theme is the most overlooked in horror and one that has much potential. Here's it's not particularly well used because Lilith isn't much of a seductress...unfortunately, because Katelyn Pearce is absolutely stunning. The huge pubic hair wig they've attached to her doesn't help though. Not quite sure why those things have become so fashionable in movies lately. It's completely unnecessary and looks ridiculous even if it's some poor attempt at time period accuracy. The ugly cinematography doesn't do this movie any favors, much is filmed mostly in green, the rest in red. None of it looks good. They make a huge deal about homosexuality and are not shy to show male genitals for some reason. No pubic hair wig there though.
I've never liked movies set in movie theaters, a trope low budget horror movies love using. Here it's ok though. This movie could have been much better had it focused on Lilith and developed her character more instead of focusing on the dull kids. Just as the label "porno" doesn't apply to the movie the kids discover, the title doesn't make much sense for this film either.
The story revolving around a group of theater employees finding an old video film and having demons being unleashed once the film is washed was decent viewing. The characters are given some depth and add to the story. Although it does become predictable there's a level of intrigue in continuing to watch. The visual of the demon creature is well done but wasn't clearly explained.

- TriviaIt was decided to place the setting in 1992 so as to include the older style projectors as a newer digital theater wouldn't be able to make use of film reels.
- GoofsTowards the end of the movie when Heavy Metal Jeff says "We have to kill Todd", he rips a towel dispenser of the wall to beat him with. The following scenes in the same bathroom, the dispenser is still very much on the wall.
