I watched this on TV because it was a film that showed way back when, not knowing what it was about.
At first, the female lead seemed a little too naive, but when you realise it's meant to be that way it works wonderfully. Like Audrey in Little Shop of Horrors. Or Janet in Rocky Horror Picture Show - or rather Brad? Or Miss Kubelik in The Apartment.
You get the drift what this movie plays with, it's fun, funny, I quote lines from it regularly, I just love it.
It's like in Ghostbusters, 'So she's a dog' - funny, American Werewolf in London, Erik the Viking (another underrated gem), Blast from the Past, wonderfully silly but with a real story, good characters, a goof with heart, a horror comedy romance.
Go with it, give it a chance.

Well, I am the only person in the world who has seen this movie apparently. *L* It is exceptionally cheezy, I know, I know. BUT, I think it is pretty funny. I mean, the plot is stupid, but what 80's movie isn't? It is just good humor and laughs. It rocks!
My other taught me when I was a young child that sometimes entertainment is entertainment for its own sake. I was 22 when I saw this in the theater in 1987, and I remember thinking then what I think now that I saw it again today in January of 2023: not every movie has to be Oscar material.
In retrospect, yes, the movie is goofy, but that's okay. It's certainly nothing to be taken seriously. And its foundation is built on that. This is as solid of a B picture as you can get.
Surprisingly, the make-up effects are formidable. The actors obviously make the most of a campy script. The music soundtrack is somewhat obscure.
I think what I like about this movie is its throwback to an antiquated notion that men are monsters and only women can tame them because...well...they're women.

This is your basic, 80's, campy horror movie -- so be warned. If you watch this movie, prepare to face EXTREME campy-ness. Complete with somewhat impressive special effects, entertaining scenes, a little comedy, and bad acting -- "My Demon Lover" delivers a top-knotch performance in the field of 80's, horror movie campy-ness! I'd check it out. But serious horror movie-goers beware...
This movie was very entertaining. It was funny has well as weird. I found it more entertaining then The Monster Squad, at least this movie did'nt have campy dialog. It was nice to see Scott Valentine break away from Family Ties for a little while. The story is about Denny(played with a lot of sweetness by Michelle Little) who seems to have bad luck with romance, that all changes when she meets Kaz(played comicaly well by Scott Valentine) they start out has friends, but little does Denny know that when Kaz gets turned on by women, he becomes monster, Valentine and Little are charming. This is one of my favorite 80's movie.
