Teen Lust (2015)

Too much of everything

Please don't spend money on this.

A lot more amusing than I thought it would be.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Walking into this film I expected another dumb American Pie wannabe. But I was pleasantly surprised. So basically the film is about a teenager, Neil, who's parents are part of a church that wants him to never lose his virginity. However he soon discovers the church practices satanism and wants to sacrifice him to Satan. He flees with his friend Matt and they try to get Neil to lose his virginity and save the world. The cast give good performances, Cary Elwes steals the show as the leader of the church, and Darryl Sabara (Juni from Spy Kids) provides most of the film's laughs. Also the characters feel realistic. So yeah I give Teen Lust a 7/10 and if you like horror comedies or just want some good laughs I recommend this film.

Not sure why the ratings are so low (currently 4.8) cause this is perfectly watchable for a comedy-horror.Perhaps they expected a lot of nudity because of the title and poster (not much in that department) and felt duped and rated it low because of that, I don't know.Sure it's no masterpiece or anything but it's never flat out dull and the characters are pretty funny.It's about a teenage guy who's been selected as a virgin sacrifice for a satanic cult, in order to prevent that from coming true he needs to get laid or die trying ASAP, and that's pretty much the movie. So not Shakespeare exactly and some minor flaws but if you dug 'THE FINAL GIRLS (2015)' or 'HELL BABY (2013)' or the like I don't see why you wouldn't dig this enough.

Seeing the low ratings on IMDb, I expected this movie to be garbage but nevertheless, I decided to watch it based purely on the plot summary which sounded interesting. This movie is far better than I expected. It's a semi humorous teen horror movie with semi adult themes similar to Fright Night with a bit of the feel of American Pie sex themes. I rather enjoyed the movie and it held my interest. If cults and sacrifice and teen sex are movie themes you like and you liked the two before mentioned films, you'll probably like this. I hate to admit, my only grip is that it wasn't more visceral and had the nudity toned down.

The basic idea of the movie is funny, sure, but that's about it.Also: It's not nearly as raunchy as one might think; no nudity whatsoever, no really explicit scenes at all except for a lot of sexual references in the dialogue.Extremely low production values are painfully evident throughout, and it's hard to say if the jokes could have worked with some remotely decent actors. Apart from Cary Elwes, Kristin Bauer van Straten (Pam from "True Blood") and (possibly) Jon Dore, chances are you won't be familiar with any of the other cast members. And you won't be wondering why...Really, an absolute waste of time. Move on.
