A demon has taken Justin’s love away, and he wants her back. 80min imdb
Recap:
Justin’s girlfriend Alice has been abducted by a demon, so he prepares a magic circle, uses his book of spells and spills his blood to summon the demon Lo and command him to bring Alice back to him. Lo claims that he can’t and instead gets Justin involved in a conversation. He, supported by demon Jeez, convinces Justin that April really is a demon who has been returned to hell.
The first thing I noticed was the astonishingly good body make-up of Lo. Now this is a lowbudget flick with a promising start, I thought. It took me a while to realize what I was watching: few actors, hardly any action, only one location, the cheapest backdrops in the flashbacks, the overacting with the big gestures and the tons of dialogue: I was watching a bloody stage play. But then, why not? It was nice for a change, it was entertaining, it wasn’t even too predictable (I was one hour into the movie when I found out what the surprise ending would be).
Sure, it’s flawed in many ways: sometimes it’s too silly or too artsy or too pretentious, but I can live with that. I like it because it’s UNIQUE!
On IMDb this is listed as horror and comedy and fantasy and lovestory, but I feel uneasy about this: yes, it is fun, but it surely isn’t funny enough to call it a comedy. And horror, well, would you file Goethe’s (or in this case: Marlowe’s) Faust as horror?
Oh well, I file it under horror, why not. There’s blood in it and demons and tortured souls…. However, this is not a regular slasher, so viewer’s discretion is advised.
