It's okay to have fun

My other taught me when I was a young child that sometimes entertainment is entertainment for its own sake. I was 22 when I saw this in the theater in 1987, and I remember thinking then what I think now that I saw it again today in January of 2023: not every movie has to be Oscar material.In retrospect, yes, the movie is goofy, but that's okay. It's certainly nothing to be taken seriously. And its foundation is built on that. This is as solid of a B picture as you can get.Surprisingly, the make-up effects are formidable. The actors obviously make the most of a campy script. The music soundtrack is somewhat obscure.I think what I like about this movie is its throwback to an antiquated notion that men are monsters and only women can tame them because...well...they're women.

My Demon Lover

Denny(Michelle Little) sure knows how to pick 'em. Her last boyfriend we see taking all her stuff out of the apartment they were sharing to sell off, and the new man in her life is demon possessed! Yep, Kaz(Scott Valentine), seemingly with no employment at the moment, introduces himself by snatching her burger from her plate, eating it, discovering it's a "fruit burger", spewing back out all over her dress. Yes, this is how they first meet. But, Denny herself freely admits that she has a soft heart and is more than a bit vulnerable when it comes to men. Regarding Kaz's dilemma, he was put under a demonic curse after a witch caught him smooching with her granddaughter. You see, when Kaz gets horny, the demon, in various ugly forms, comes out. This coincides with a series of mauler murders which makes him more than a viable suspect.Bizarre demon comedy with dated special effects(particularly the make-up effects which certainly transform Valentine into various hideous forms)and an energetic cast. Robert Trebor steals his scenes as a clumsy nerd, Charles, who wants to take Denny out. The gorgeous Gina Gallego is Denny's best friend, Sonia..Sonia's sister is a victim of the mauler(who tears apart women on New York City streets)and she wants to find and kill the one responsible. The comedy revolves around Valentine's troubles with the cute Little, who has a warm smile and pleasant personality. Valentine goes over-the-top without restraint, allowed to indulge himself as he sees fit and has the kind of role which gives him a chance to so. His Kaz admits that he's obnoxious and he couldn't be more on the level. Kaz remains, for the most part, in the same wardrobe, essentially a hobo that Denny takes in out of the kindness of her heart. The filmmakers go overboard with all the effects, and Valentine spends a good chunk of the film under heavy make-up, costumed to the hilt. I think the fine cast really helps matters, with Little the glue that holds the film together. With Michael J Fox hitting paydirt with BACK TO THE FUTURE, Justine Bateman starring as a girl rocker in SATISFACTION, it was Valentine's turn out of the FAMILY TIES pack to get a leading role in a film..this, unfortunate for him, was that chance.
