Lillith

As low-budget B-movies go, this one was a lot better than anticipated.

The story itself isn't groundbreaking (invoking a succubus to take revenge on a cheating boyfriend), we've seen it before in some form or another, but then again the very first episode of Star Wars was about knights saving a princess, so originality is not always necessary.

Ok, so the production values were minimal. Lighting and sound could have used some TLC, the special effects weren't so special, and some of the acting was amateurish. However, Savannah Whitten was impressive in her role of the demon, invigorating the character with joyful abandon.

Without her, the movie doesn't work as a horror-comedy. But she makes the difference, if only because she has the most interesting lines to deliver, and she delivers them well, with rapid-fire precision.

For his first full feature as a director and writer, Lee Esposito shows promise. I haven't seen any of his other stuff, but it would be interesting to see what he could do with an actual budget.

In this instance, a rating of 6 is definitely a positive grade, as opposed to some highly-anticipated movies that can sometimes be a disappointing 7.

It was fun, but a flawed effort. It is definitely a low budget horror, but the acting in it was overall pretty decent, and it was actually better than I expected. No one seemed cheesy or bad.

I thought the make up effects for Lillith were pretty nice. I think they really benefited from what looked like practical/make up effects rather than CGI effects.

Although overall I thought it had some nice touches, I don't think it quite hit the horror comedy mark. It was enjoyable watch, but I didn't really see the comedy aspect, I didn't really feel like it was a waste of time to watch. But I don't think it was good enough for a 2nd viewing in the future.

What is there to like? Maybe the dumb male friend of the group. At least he was not beyond ridiculous. He just stood around. To be honest, I did not watch this stupid movie all the way. I was so sick and tired of it very soon. Now that I think about it, I did like the "girlfiend" that got angry with the moron who decided that summoning Lillith was a good idea, and dumped her. (If they made up, I don't know, because by then it was a sort of not at all funny comedy, or least I think that was it really was.) If any of those people actually went to an acting academy they must have been kicked out, after week one.

Amazes me how some reviewers want every film to be a triple oscar winner. If you don't have much to do and want an amusing US comedy horror to watch, its ok.

No pun intended - and a succubus being summoned definitely is not the greatest idea ever. That being said, the movie may be on this side of horror - but your suspension of disbelief has to be there.

A love for B-movie horror is also quite helpful. The succubus of the movie is quite fun too. Well unless you are her target - you may find her less funny. There are some love stories and romances ... and there is an either satisfying end to this or one that almost is ridiculous ... not sure if you should read something into it. Best if you don't - you are not entitled to anything and no one owes you anything either. You'll understand with the ending, if you dare to watch that is.
