Succubus:Hell Bent
15 April 2008
Warning: Spoilers
Adam(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.
