Alicia I love this movie so much

Listonixio Fresh and Exciting

Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Scott LeBrun Mark Frost stars as John Jaspers, a young man whose girlfriend "Blue" (Jennifer Rope) is murdered by thugs. Now he's depressed and despondent enough to contemplate suicide - only for an enigmatic stranger, "M" (Andrew Divoff, whose performance outclasses this movie), to turn up and offer him a deal. John WILL get his revenge, but he will have to promise his soul to "M". He agrees with too much haste, and DOES get his revenge, but finds that his work is not done. "M" attempts to dispose of John, only for John to be reborn as a cartoony version of a demon (think a wrestler with a gimmick) and now possessed with incredible powers (including retractable, Wolverine-style blades)."Faust: Love of the Damned" is based on a graphic novel by David Quinn & Tim Vigil, and retains that sort of aesthetic for the film version. As a result, it's highly stylized by director Brian Yuzna ("Society", "Bride of Re-Animator"). Made in Spain around the same time that Yuznas' friend Stuart Gordon made his H.P. Lovecraft adaptation "Dagon", this movie has little to no dramatic impact. What hurts it a lot is the fact that leading actor Frost is so insipid as a hero; he's a bad actor, at least here. To be fair, though, he does seem to be enjoying himself when he's done up in demon garb. Overall, it's an amusing, disposable comic-book style horror-fantasy with a mostly European cast that ranges from passable (Isabel Brook, as the leading lady) to solid (Jeffrey Combs has one of his most normal roles as a dedicated detective) to very hammy (Fermi Reixach, as the police commissioner) to delightfully vampish (Monica Van Campen as M's sexy female cohort). Divoff towers over all with another of his captivating, soft-spoken villainous portrayals. He's quite a sight with his hair done like that, though.Yuzna once again utilizes the services of makeup effects expert "Screaming Mad George", whose work is typically outrageous, goopy, and completely outre. Appropriately Hellish visuals and a persistent heavy metal soundtrack (including Sepultura, one of this viewers' favourite bands) are also part of the mix.A fairly fun movie that kills approximately 101 minutes in well-paced fashion.Six out of 10.

gorf 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.

Scarecrow-88 What a mess this was. There are some fans of Wishmaster evil demonic genie Divoff who plays, I believe, Lucifer here(..with albino white hair!)and he certainly has a way of exhibitioning pure evil with the way he tilts his head and twists his face. This film seeps every ounce of artistic integrity from the original play bludgeoning us over the head with Ringo knows what. Faust himself was once this artist named John Jaspers(Mark Frost, incredibly hammy) whose lover was killed by her portly pimp and his accomplices, wishes revenge to the point he'll sell his soul, gain from Divoff these Wolverine-esquire titanium blades, kill those who did his ole lady in, and face the consequences for his harbored anger and blood-lusting vengeance. Divoff has control over him and forces him into destroying a Chinese Consul meeting wiping out something like 19 people. Jeffrey Combs is a detective who wishes to know why he did it as Faust(in human form at this point)is catatonic. A psychologist,Jade(Isabel Brook, a stunning beauty) who uses music to get inside what makes the mad crazy, soon becomes a chess-piece between Divoff's Lucifer and Faust(still John at this point).Soon Divoff is through with his acquisition and buries him alive, but the joker kills a skeleton choking him(huh?)and returns from the near trip to hell as a steroid-n-crack version of the Daredevil who obliterates, I'm guessing, more than 20 or so people(and a slew of damned cops..I figure the entire police station was emptied into Faust's feverish wrath). Divoff has a chick by his side, Claire(Mònica Van Campen, melts fervent heat right from the screen) always trying to seduce someone into robbing her master of his power since Lucifer's human shell is weakening(..I don't know, ask those who made this damn thing what the point is of Lucifer staying in a weak body when he should be able to invade many of those who worship him). She loves showing her breasts(they are quite delicious, I must say)and cavorting around like a cat in heat. Jade has issues..a buried rape from someone whose face is covered in wax(you think this sounds silly, wait until you see the method of torture used to project who the rapist was)and she falls in love with the John. Combs soon joins allegiance with Lucifer and the poor Jade is tricked by him into Divoff's lair..she is a hostage at the mercy of her captors. Meanwhile, Claire who desires Lucifer's seat will perhaps get her wish.The film throws the kitchen sink at you..are you willing to duck? Because, the climax has this beast summoned from hell, Faust trying to save Jade from being impregnated by Lucifer, Combs swallowing a serpent removed from the stomach of Lucifer's Claire who betrayed him, and a blood, sacrificial orgy of Satanists.Phew, I'm telling you, this flick is messed up!

willywants 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.
