everything you have heard about this movie is true.
View MoreIt’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.
View MoreThis film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.
View MoreGreat example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.
View MoreAdam(Robert Mann), a skirt chasing 20 year old womanizing rich kid, whose dad is a very important businessman with political ties, chooses the wrong woman to mess around with when he takes a trip with pal, Jason(Jayson Blair) to Cancun for some beach, babes and booze..she is a succubus named Lilith(Natalie Denise Sperl) who pursues him to Los Angeles, showing up in places out of the blue, killing those closest to him, and making his life most miserable by interfering in his day-to-day activities. When his friends wind up dead around him, Adam becomes a suspect as his succubus story doesn't wash. Surfing the net, Adam finds that Lilith was created before Eve by God at the same time as Adam and whose kiss on the lips of men she seduces retrieves a bit of their lifeforce. Soon Lilith will be coming to kill Adam for good, and he seeks assistance from his powerful father Wallace(David Keith) and some unorthodox demon hunter named Sentinel(Gary Busey), but finds that perhaps there's no solving his problem.Tame, underwhelming, and yawn-inducing, do not be fooled by the film's titillating premise or box cover art. Sperl lives it up as the evil succubus making Adam's life miserable, wearing sexy costumes and speaking all seductively. But, the film's protagonist is a real prick..the kind of product of wealth plucked from the condo of MTV's Real World, partying with friends, having sex with bubble-headed chicks, spending his daddy's money, and traveling in yachts and planes living the high life...and it's hard to care whether he lives or dies. Instead of worrying about his fate, I was enjoying the sight of Adam squirming. I was actually rooting for the succubus..Adam and Jason couldn't die fast enough. The violence, like the supposed lurid premise, fails to deliver as well. The low budget also produces weak special effects. A real waste of time, that could spent on a much better film, unless you want to see Busey for a few minutes in yet another eccentric part poking fun at Adam's difficult situation. Lorenzo Lamas also has a brief part as a flight instructor who Adam works for.
View More"Succubus: Hell Bent" is an only moderately entertaining supernatural film.**SPOILERS**Arriving in Cancun for Spring Break, friends Adam, (Robert L. Mann) and Jason, (Jayson Blair) stumble across a fellow partier, Lilith, (Natalie Denise Sperl) along for the similar experience. Returning back to L.A., they get into trouble by his father Wallace, (David Keith) for wasting his money where they run into her again at a party, where their encounter is resumed. Confused over the continuous need to be around him, he becomes a target for the police when a friend of his turns up dead in his care. Trying to get over it only makes her more ruthless and aggressive towards tracking him down, which culminates in more stalking and the eventual deaths of more of his friends. When it eventually dawns on him that he is dealing with a supernatural entity that is attempting to steal his soul away, he finally calls upon hunter Sentinel, (Gary Busey) who tries to help him defeat the demon once and for all.The Good News: This here has a few good parts that make it at least somewhat interesting. The fact that the several sex scenes between the two antagonists do get better with each of the times done manages to make them quite entertaining as they build up the intensity from each one. There's a sense of fun to be had from these that there's even more of a danger when it suddenly turns into a series of subtly-changing events during the course of the events. Those are the real reasons for these being so fun, as after a while it becomes obvious that it's the pattern and the anticipation which comes from them is where it gets fun. The fighter plane sequence is also pretty fun, especially the ending which manages to get incredibly exciting and interesting. The last big plus is the finale, which is good, cheesy fun. The demonic incantations, the Satanic imagery and action are all combined into a really entertaining and exciting part that just makes the film go out on a high note with the goodness it has. It's the best part of the film, and along with the other parts, makes it watchable.The Bad News: Frankly, this one here does have a few problems with it. The fact that there's not much of a plot to it is perhaps the biggest question mark. It really just wanders around aimlessly for the first thirty minutes just simply following the two around trying and mostly succeeding in picking up women. Not only does this just make for dull and completely useless scenes of them doing it. There's nothing that can be done about it as it's the continuous going around of parties and managing to score with women, which is just irksome and rather tiring of having to see the same sort of behavior repeated again and again which isn't fun to watch either way and makes them incredibly aggravating scenes to get through. Having to watch these scenes just makes the rest of the movie feel really dull and boring. It manages to use most of it's run-time for making them just out to be these incredibly-immature scenes of them doing the same thing, and it eventually gets to the point of their being little hope for anything to come along in the film other than these, and when they get old, the film slows down to a crawl with almost nothing else. When it does get a few good moments in, the majority of these scenes are just plain terrible and dull. The other one here is that there's nothing given as to why the particular victim is chosen. There's a back-story for the being and why they're there, but nothing is given about it requiring that specific choice. Otherwise, these here are the big problems with the film.The Final Verdict: While not entirely worthless, this one has a few more flaws than positives which makes this one that much more disposable. Only check it out if in the complete mood for these kinds of films, but this is more likely the case of only the extremely interested.Rated R: Violence, Graphic Language, Nudity and several sex scenes
View MoreI think for a B movie it was pretty darn good. The acting was all quite adequate. I have rented some pretty horrible movies on pay per view where the acting wasn't much better than a porno. It was exactly like it was advertised. A fun little horror flick. I bought it, expecting this. I didn't buy it expecting Shakespeare. There were a few good frights hidden here and there and enough nudity to make it plausible. I HATE the movies where all the women walk around in bikini's constantly flashing their boobs. What is the point. I have a pair of my own....I don't understand the thrill! LOL Maybe its because I am a little bit more mature than the average frat boy. The lead was a bit of a loser....but that didn't make it too hard to root for him OR the succubus. I thought "Heather" did a good job with the dying pool scene.
View MoreThis movie suffers from a lack of direction, it just doesn't know what it want's to be. It's one part American Pie, on part Beverly Hills 90210, one Part B-rate Vampire movie, one part Top Gun which equals 100% crap.Gary Busey's cameo is a welcome addition and seems to help a little, but it's too brief to save this film. If his character was in the movie more perhaps it would've been a little entertaining.I wasn't sure if I was supposed to like the lead character or not but I didn't and was hoping the Succubus would kill him off. The actor was weak and the character itself - A ultra rich, spoiled womanizing, egotistical jerk.The eye candy wasn't that bad but for an erotic thriller (which I think this is supposed to be) it was very lacking in that department.The jet sequences were pointless and it's really sad that two pilots lost their lives filming what was simply (as one viewer stated) fluff to make it a longer movie.
