"I wasn't this nervous since I was black" - Elsie, the Maid (this was a quote in the German dub "So nervös war ich nicht mehr seit ich schwarz bin")
First of all, I have to say, I watched this in a bad German dub and it was a cut version (no idea what exactly was cut out).
From the director of timeless classics like Super Seal and Raging Hormones comes now this story of love and fear.
Susan (Bobbie Bresee) is possessed by a demon. So she goes around sleeping with guys and then killing them. Who will be able to stop her?
That is pretty much the story of this movie, not very special, not specially well done, but totally watchable. The acting was alright, I can't say too much about it because the German dub ripped these actors off any emotions they could possibly have.
My favorite character was the maid, Elsie. She has some of the weirdest quotes (and is also the only character quoted in the IMDb quotes section). Although there is one scene, in which she finds out that Susan is possessed by a Demon and the score at that point went to a comedy-like music while she is running down the stairs, then leaving the house. It was so weird and unfitting.
Talking about score, what I found weird about it was, it was a pretty good score, but it felt like it was ripped off. In one scene, with the gardener, there is a clear copy of the JAWS theme, not exactly the same, but so similar you can guess how it goes on.
The Make-up effects in some of the scenes were well done, I have to say I liked some of them.
In the end, this wasn't the worst movie ever, but it also wasn't good. It was weird, and at times lost my attention. The idea was good, what they made of it not so much. I'm rating this movie 2.5 out of 5 stars.
