My Demon Lover

This is your basic, 80's, campy horror movie -- so be warned. If you watch this movie, prepare to face EXTREME campy-ness. Complete with somewhat impressive special effects, entertaining scenes, a little comedy, and bad acting -- "My Demon Lover" delivers a top-knotch performance in the field of 80's, horror movie campy-ness! I'd check it out. But serious horror movie-goers beware...

Well, I am the only person in the world who has seen this movie apparently. *L* It is exceptionally cheezy, I know, I know. BUT, I think it is pretty funny. I mean, the plot is stupid, but what 80's movie isn't? It is just good humor and laughs. It rocks!

An entertaining premise, adequately handled, with some amusing (if not always top-of-the-line) special effects. The picture is nothing more than a trivial time-killer, but it has a nice spirit. Initially you may be turned off by the behavior of the leading character, but he grows more appealing as the film goes along. On the other hand, Michelle Little plays one of the nicest persons who ever appeared in an 80s film! (**)

The film's song "Let Go" is by the band Intimate Strangers. The song also appears on their album "Charm".

Looking back on it, the film is rather cheesy and the special effects and makeup are pretty cheap, but in its day, it wasn't that bad. I'm not sure if that means I've grown up or the movies made back then were pretty bad...I guess a little of both. Nevertheless, I really liked the song "Let Go" from the film, wondered who the band was that play it, and how I could get the full version of the song. Finally after researching online I found more information about the song and wanted to post it here for other fans of it. I hope this helps someone.

I watched this on TV because it was a film that showed way back when, not knowing what it was about.

At first, the female lead seemed a little too naive, but when you realise it's meant to be that way it works wonderfully. Like Audrey in Little Shop of Horrors. Or Janet in Rocky Horror Picture Show - or rather Brad? Or Miss Kubelik in The Apartment.

You get the drift what this movie plays with, it's fun, funny, I quote lines from it regularly, I just love it.

It's like in Ghostbusters, 'So she's a dog' - funny, American Werewolf in London, Erik the Viking (another underrated gem), Blast from the Past, wonderfully silly but with a real story, good characters, a goof with heart, a horror comedy romance.

Go with it, give it a chance.
