Succubus: The Demon (2006)

[lester1/2jr]

                            There are good movies and there are bad movies and there is and has been a growing appreciation for "good bad" movies.  

                           What you might not know is that there are also good bad bad movies.  Movies that stink and are fun to watch not because they have some crazy b movie energy or magical off beat /idiosyncratic/ accidental charm, but usually because they are so dull and follow formula so thoroughly that they become treasured ...treasures.  kind like that last sentence.  

                 


                 Succubus starts off looking like a shot on video porn and we even see some hot office babes.  Too bad we don't see them again for another hour.  Instead we follow this unattractive pale (think Gary Oldman in Bram Stokers Dracula but a dork) guy around as he grieves for his dead wife.  It's BORING.  Then ...something isn't adding up, there is a mystery afoot.  Every cliche you can possbly think of is explored.  He goes to a fake pyschic who tells him a bunch of stuff she makes up,  he goes agora-crazy in his house,etc. Still, I enjoyed watching it and at the end I was psyched for some reason.  

                   nudity: after 5 thousand hours theres some pretty graphic stuff but they are all covered in devil makeup so it kind of ruins it.   Well at any rate ,  "manos: the hand of Fate" and "Thor: Il Conquistidor" have some company in the good bad bad genre. who's going to make me a bad good bad bad movie?  Bill Zebub? Syfy? James Cameron?

5/5
