Wealthy and arrogant playboy Adam (smoothly essayed with cocky aplomb by R.L. Mann) has his hedonistic life turned upside down by fierce predatory succubus Lilith (perfectly embodied by ravishing brunette stunner Natalie Denise Sperl, who attacks her part with lip-smacking wicked relish), who follows him home from spring break in the wake of a one night stand. Writer/director Kim Bass relates the enjoyable story at a snappy pace, brings a kinetic hopped-up style to the neat premise, spruces things up with an amusing sense of brash humor, and delivers a decent sprinkling of tasty nudity and sizzling soft-core sex. Moreover, it's a total treat to see crass male pig Adam get put through the wringer by Lilith. The sound acting by the capable cast helps a lot: Jayson Blair lends sturdy support as Adam's smarmy pal Jason, Kelly Hu registers strongly as the hard-nosed Detective Pei, David Keith likewise does well as Adam's estranged CEO father Wallace, and Gary Busey has a gloriously hammy field day as loopy demon hunter Sentinel. The deliciously cheesy CGI effects at the climax are an absolute tacky hoot. Andrew Giannetta's flashy cinematography provides a cool glitzy look. Gnarly rocking soundtrack, too. Best of all, there's a plethora of smoking hot gals clad in either bikinis or their undies featured throughout. A fun flick.

I am actually still watching it right now. T minus 20 and counting. I feel the need to share my shock and awe over a this masterful piece of film. It is just truly a bad movie, with such classic lines as, "You know how I know you're lying? You're lips are moving" delivered by Kelly Hu as the detective. I like bad movies enough to keep watching them.... to see how bad they get. As far as bad movies go, I give this a 6.5. The dialogue is camp, the acting is sub par and the special effects are budget, but put together, it has all the makings of a decent B movie.If you're unemployed, home and procrastinating getting on with your day, waste 2 hours with this gem. Or don't. It won't make a difference.

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.

Sometimes, we overlook the lesser-known films.Sometimes, there's a brilliant movie lurking there. Brilliantly directed, brilliantly filmed, brilliantly acted, brilliantly scripted and scored.We find ourselves caught up in it, totally, breathless, on the edge of our seats, waiting to see what will come next.We become one with the characters, mesmerized, as they take us to places we've never even dreamed imagined. We become a true "captive audience". And we think about the film for days. We talk about it with friends.But as for this little piece of drivel? It fails on all counts. Totally predictable, acted as if by a high school drama class, and with a painful score that has nothing to do with what's on the screen, this has to be the most "brilliant" time wasters I've ever seen. Likely to be enjoyed by those who smoke illegal substances and think deep thought as the munchies kick in, it's nonetheless drivel. FF and making up your own dialog doesn't help this turkey. What little plot there is never gets resolved, and the characters, ALL of them, are as likable as a bag of dog excrement left on your front porch.IMDb doesn't offer a low enough rating. You'd be better served watching paint dry, or grass grow. Doesn't meet the standards of "Made For TV".
