When mechanic Jeff Obold meets the wealthy and mysterious Bruno Rubin, he is exposed for the first time to the finer things in life. But Jeff soon discovers the source of Rubin's power: a caged creature called a "Darkling," which possesses the power to create incredible wealth for the person who will pledge unending "companionship." Now, as Jeff sinks further and further into the blackness of a soul sold to the devil, he will discover there is a high price to pay for the fulfillment of his dreams.

Pretty Good

The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

I have a question and it's pretty much easy : What is wonderful here ? My answer : Fairly totally NOTHING ! Maybe the idea of having, for the first time for me, a devil in a form of a baby. Before watching it, one of my friends deluded me that the talented voice of (Barry White) was being used in here. So I was thinking while observing the movie's condition something like "I CAN Get Enough of Your Love, Babe" !! The acting was between naive and frigid. I hated to see (F. Murray Abraham) in a role maybe he would've done better with another script or directing. The art direction was pathetic; as it seemed that the entire movie had been done in one, very small, studio. The production is the lowest element; it's not a TV work, it's a TV very poor work. All in all, it's extremely exotic and I don't mean the movie, but the way of making it like that. Undoubtedly, it's the worst (Faust) I have ever seen; it wasn't as great as the original story or even close. Why didn't they make it a comedy where the lead sings to the devil "I'll Do For You Anything You Want Me To", so the devil sings back "I've Got So Much To Give", and the lead replays "You're The First, The Last, My Everything" to have Mr. Lucifer "I'm Qualified To Satisfy You" ! It would've been one true hell of a musical comic horror in the honor of (Barry White) too ! However, they preferred to make this piece of work which will be unforgettable indeed, yet for its scanty level, so.. "See The Trouble With Me" !!! Maybe the movie's makers had been possessed by more powerful devils to do what they did. Actually during the end's sequence I found myself living the climax of the darkling literally. So while being that sick of it, I discovered how I sold my soul to a very silly devil for a 95 minutes of my life !!

...Ok I have read about this film somewhere in the internet, and many criticized on how bad and sucks this film was. And I couldn't have been more agree about it. Then after that I saw this film on DVD, I was thinking twice about this and then came commercial of this film on TV. Luckily I spared my money for this pieces of crap. I was sacrificed my sleeps for this film and soon it turned out that this film couldn't make me satisfy. So I can't be judging on how the film was made, but anyway... it still sucks. As for those who liked this film, I would apologize for flaming this film and telling on how sucks this film is. I don't know what do YOU think about this film?

I have nothing positive to say about this "film". Don't see it! The acting is so bad I could smell "the bold and the beautiful". What happened to F.M. Abraham. This fine actor has lowered himself into the pits of "the story" in a porn. The darkling a fallen baby angel. Give me a break. aaargh!!!!!

I enjoyed this movie! Very scary and plenty of unexpected twists and turns. The characters were interesting and well developed. A Saturday afternoon well spent.
