Faust: Love of the Damned

Rating:
Summary: waste of time
Review: the other reviewers who saw this as a flop are right. Brian Yuzna cannot come close to his earlier efforts(Ew-Animator and Bride of RA). Horror movies have gone to the dogs, and it's sad that there is no more ceativity in this genre. This movie has bad acting, pails of gore, and an anti super hero that looks like something dug up from Inframan. Combs is wasted. His role adds nothing to the stupid plot. I wasted my money.

Rating:
Summary: Damned bad.
Review: This flick fails in every aspect. The plot is jibberish. The acting non-existant. The special effects laughable. The action still-lifed. Ranks up there with CAPTAIN AMERICA for worst comic book movie of all time. DAREDEVIL was better than this mess, and that's saying a lot. If you enjoy good comic book films (even the smaller, independant type), avoid this tripe at all costs. If you like the darker, more violent heroes watch the excellent BLADE again and revell in the fact that good, bloody horror/action films still need writitng and acting to entertain. FAUST: LOVE OF THE DAMNED is so damned bad it qualifies as anti-entertainment.

Summary: could do with more blood
Review: this is not a bad film it could have just done with alittle more action and blood.the box does not give any rating info but from the look of things i would say its unrated?the main faust character looks a bit cheesy in his red costume and to be honest looks better in his in-between stages.brian has done a pretty good job with this film considering its low budget.if you enjoy a bit ofdark blood thirsty comic style vilence then buy this

Summary: Like Spawn......but not good.
Review: This is the story of a resurrected artist who is rebirthed to kill evildoers every where!...or any one that happens to be in the same room.

When they showed the guy at the embassy with two long claws growing out of each of his hands, I thought he was a Wolverine rip-off. Things got worse when we see what he looks like fully formed...I didn't know what the hell he was. He's like a devil, but he looks more like a Batman wannabe at a comic book convention; you'd think the devil would have given him horns that didn't shake like rubber. His special powers include jumping on top of stuff and acting like he's flying, and licking cops in the ear.

Reading the other reviews, it would seem this is based off a comic series. So I would like to ask those comic fans...just what WAS this movie about? This reminds me of anime films that are based off manga and begin the story in the middle of the series. There was a pact with an evil being, then suddenly a conspiracy where all the big-wigs in the town are behind evil, and some how this "Faust" guy is the one being that can stop all evil...though I don't know how he can save people when he keeps killing them! How many cops did he kill that thought they were just doing their job? And again...why did he LICK THEM?

"Hellboy" is coming out tomorrow. I used to have reserved feelings about that, but after watching this any superhero movie I see will appear to be the greatest film ever.

Summary: It's good, comical fun
Review: This movie is a very clever idea, and very well pulled off. This is based on an underground comic (what is that anyway) of the same name. The movie stars Geoffry Combs (Re-Animator) as a detective trying to find out why this artist just killed an entire Arabian Family (Very big family, and very rich). As it turns out the Artist tried to kill himself earlier but then sold his soul to a guy named M and was given these razor sharps claws (taken from the prop department of X-Mne) and he did what he was told. After he escapes he is betrayed and killed, only to come back in a bright red satanic looking DareDevil Costume and is know as the Super Hero Faust.

This movie is funny..., despite how seriouse it starts. It turns downright hillariouse. The costume alone will make you crack up. this dark comedy holds all the aspects of a typical horror film, gore, pointless violence, loads of nudity and [gratuitous] sex, yet it pokes fun at itself with the story. This would fit right in if your a fan of such classics (and not so classics) as Army of Darkness, Critters, or Ghoulies. This is definetly worth checking into, to say the least.

Summary: Lacking Plot, All The More Fun!
Review: This movie lacked a real plot. But it doesn't matter. This seems to be the perfect party movie. Put it on in the background and your friends/relatives/boss will be forced in to small talk. The movie is so gorey and so borderline pornographic that it's almost amazing it didn't hit an NC-17 rating. The man at Blockbuster said it was basiclaly violent porn, and boy was he right. I suggest this for all. If you don't like this movie there is something horribly wrong with you. I actually suggest you rent it first. And if you're under 18, don't bother, things can wait.

Summary: "Your basic horror film."
Review: This movie was good, but I think the director needs to lighten up on the gore, geez. This movie made me sick, literally, and I had a gutache for almost an hour. The grossest part in this movie is when M melts that girl that is with him. But I really like it when John Jasper suddenly appears as that creature, that was awesome! At first, I thought the monster at the top of the cover was the Devil, but I later found out that it is John Jasper in his creature form. John goes bonkers 'cause his girlfriend was murdered (who wouldn't?) and makes a deal with M, a Devil worshipper. Jasper signs the deal in blood and later betrays M. Then M kills Jasper, but Jasper comes back as the creature, but also as a human. He only transforms when he's pissed off. I'm not ruining any endings, but let's just say it might not be what you're expecting. Like I said, the director over-did it on the gore, but the movie is good. NOTE TO PARENTS: This movie is rated "R" for very extreme and intense gore, bizarre and frightening images, strong nudity, and language and should NOT be viewed by young children. If you still want to let your young one watch this, at least watch it with him/her.

Summary: Everything has a price...
Review: Thsi movie is based on a comic book of the same name. It's probably one of the most graphic comic books I have ever read, in that it has copious amounts of sex and violence inherent in its' storylines. Having read the comic, I was suprised to find that someone had adapted it into a movie, or, atleast tried. Seeing that it was directed by Brian Yuzna, who produced such movies as Re-Animator, From Beyond, and Return of the Living Dead 3, I thought it might be pretty good. Now I knew they probably would be able to incorporate the amount of sex and violence into this movie to be true to the comic, so I tried to keep an open mind going into this movie. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't great either. The story involves a man who sells his soul in order to gain demonic powers in order to dispatch the criminals that have taken his life away from him, namely by killing his wife. The price he pays ends up being more than he thought, as the demon M, who gave him his powers in exchange for his soul, has other plans for him. This does come off a little like Todd McFarlanes Spawn, but not as slick graphically but unlike Spawn it did have nudity and some sexual situations. There were flaws in continuity and the acting was pretty bad at times, but I ended up just going with the flow. I was a little disappointed with some of the scenes where Faust was dispatching bad guys using his razor claws as they didn't seem as graphic as they should have been. When you slice someone throat or guts open with 12 inch razor claws, you expect a lot more blood than was shown. Some of those effects looked really cheap and could have been done better. Some of the effects were done pretty well. There is some CGI involved, but I think there was more use of prosthetics which looked a little phoney at times but overall not bad. Hardcore fans of the comic may be disappointed in the shortcomings of the film, but I did feel that they tried to do the best the could with what they had. I felt the title role was miscast with Mark Frost, but that's my opinion. I think a different lead actor and bigger production budget would have made a big difference.
