Wow! Such a good movie.
So much average
The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity
There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
There are some similarities between Faust and Spawn. I bet the comic book Faust came out first, since Todd McFarlane is known for "borrowing" stuff...this would also explain why Spawn is a terrible comic book. Because Faust is one of the worst things that has happened to this world, both the pornographic comic book and the movie I watched when I was young. While Spawn is a dumb, worthless movie, it's hard to feel offended by it. Faust: Love of the Damned is just pure evil.I will never understand why people make stuff like this. If you have the ability to make movies, why not make something uplifting? Something meaningful. Movies like "The Phantom Carriage" from 1921, or "It's a Wonderful Life". Faust: Love of the Damned is just a cheap, immoral porno movie, without any message. It's dangerous. It shouldn't even exist.Stay away from this evil filth. Watch or read something good instead. Zero stars.
FAUST: LOVE OF THE DAMNED is a superhero reworking of the classic German folk fable and a big screen adaptation of a comic book. It's also the debut film from Brian Yuzna's short-lived Spanish studio, Fantastic Factory, and was directed by Yuzna himself. So what's it like? I can truly say this is one of the dumbest, worst films I've ever witnessed.All of Yuzna's power and skill as a director has vanished to be replaced by ineptitude on a massive scale. The plot is some piece of nonsense about a guy who sells his soul to the devil (an overacting Andrew Divoff, naturally) before going on a killing spree utilising some Wolverine-style metal claws. We get a right load of nonsense involving devil-worship cults, a random badly-animated CGI monster, an awful grotesque scene borrowed from SOCIETY in which a woman's body parts are distended, and lots of icky gore effects.The problem isn't so much with the story as with the execution. This is a disjointed, badly-edited mess, headache inducing with the constant heavy metal noise blaring in every action scene. This makes FAUST: LOVE OF THE DAMNED a real chore to sit through. Pity poor Jeffrey Combs, playing in support as a cop; he deserves better.
I wasn't sleepy last Sunday night and I chose to watch whatever was on TV. Channel 29 ("Space")was airing this, and I foolishly believed it was "Exorcist III". The movie lacks everything, but it's watchable.John Jaspers made a deal with some sort of devil named "M" to clear M's way to world domination. Somewhere in the way, he repents and ends up in an asylum, where a pretty psychiatrist (or doctor, or whatever) visits him and hears his story. Jaspers claims "they" (M's band) are coming tonight. She hears it as if he was saying "1 + 1 is 3" but on his way out sees something "unusual" and runs away. Indeed, Jaspers is taken away and buried, while the girl calls a detective friend and is caught by the same guys before the cop arrives. Luckily for her, Jaspers is back as Faust, who should (given it's an horror film) look like a devil but most of the time is a red bug ("Bugman":::). Unfortunately, M won't give up, and the bulk of the movie starts there.The cast is nothing spectacular. I wonder why Andrew Divoff keeps getting overlooked by the mainstream, since he's a hell of an actor. The girl who plays the shrink is OH beautiful, and M's chick seems to be taken out of a porn. Comic-based, it should be scary but it is not. However, despite everything, it's worth a watch, even to laugh a while.4/10
An artist, John Jaspers (Mark frost) sells his soul to the mysterious "M" (Andrew Divoff) in order to get revenge on the people who killed his girlfriend. Soon, he realizes everything has a price, and he is transformed into a horned demon with a passion for killing. He learns that M plans to release the Homunculus, a giant serpentine demon onto the earth, opening the gate to hell. Now, Jaspers must stop M before he can let the apocalypse begin. "Faust: Love of the damned" is a great horror film! Good acting from the mostly unknown cast (Though lead Mark Frost tended to overact, I still dug his performance anyway!). Brian Yuzna's direction was stylish and the film is visually stunning. The special effects by Screaming mad George were EXCELLENT! I especially loved the Homunculus, what a brilliantly designed monster! The gore was plentiful (Loved the decapitation!) too. Not a film for the faint of heart, that's for sure, but it was a wild ride and I enjoyed it! 8/10.
