Lillith

When a college woman (Nell Kessler) in the New Jersey/Brooklyn area discovers her boyfriend cheating she accepts her Wicca friend's offer to call on a succubus for succor. Havoc ensues.

"Lillith" (2019) is micro-budget horror with limited camera angles, dubious cinematography and, occasionally, lousy sound, but the story is compelling and the acting/dialogue good; some of the music's not bad either. Speaking of the acting, Laurence Fishburne's son, Langston Fishburne, is on hand for the small role of the professor. But it's Savannah Whitten who steals the show as the lust demon made flesh. People call this a horror comedy, but it's really only Whitten's succubus that's amusing (in a good way). It's a refreshing way to approach the material. After all, why wouldn't an immortal demon relish 'her' work with a diabolical sense of humor?

The setting and tone are reminiscent of "Decoys" (2004) and "Decoys 2" (2007) mixed with a little "Jennifer's Body" (2009), albeit without the budget. If you don't mind technical deficiencies, "Lillith" delivers the goods despite a muted palette. For comparison, check out "The Devil's Nightmare," aka "The Devil Walks at Midnight" (1971), which is an entertaining classic flick involving a succubus, taking place in a castle in Belgium (on the border of France).

The film runs 1 hour, 33 minutes, and was shot in the region of Cranford, NJ, and Brooklyn, NY.

GRADE: B-

The beauty of this day and age is that we have the ability to stream online movies. This, makes available thousands of great movies to sit back and enjoy. Unfortunately this is NOT one of those movies. For starters if you want your lady that's just come back from the dead to look as such, you should probably make up the whole body and not just the face.

The acting was to say the least, droll. Venon wells should have no more dialog than he was given in mad max 2 and he wasn't the worst

To be honest, I didn't know this was a horr/com but after watching it, I understand where the comedy come in. It was the movie itself!

I wouldn't bother watching this movie but i'll leave that decision up to you.

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.

I stumbled upon the 2019 horror comedy "Lillith" here in 2021, without ever having heard about the movie. Needless to say that I opted to sit down to watch the movie, given the synopsis, it being a horror comedy movie that I hadn't already seen, plus I had the chance to do so.

While "Lillith" was entertaining enough for what it was, this was by no means a milestone in horror comedy. Writers Lee Esposito and Luke Stannard sadly opted to play it safe and bet on formulas that have been seen and done in other similar movies before. So "Lillith" didn't really offer all that much of anything new or innovative.

The movie had a fair enough cast of actors and actresses, all of which I weren't previously familiar with, and that is something I like in movies. So that was a definitely plus in favor of "Lillith". And I will say that the actors and actresses put on good performances, though they were somewhat restricted by a somewhat inferior script and not overly-well-written characters.

"Lillith" was watchable, but the storyline was suffering from being somewhat inferior and generic. And the movie was just rather predictable, which makes for a movie that you watch once and never return to watch a second time.

All in all, then this was a rather bland attempt at a horror comedy, one that came and went without leaving much of a dent on the scene. I am rating "Lillith" a five out of ten stars.

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.
