Serpent's Lair (1995)

Good movie but grossly overrated

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

In other words,this film is a surreal ride.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Just watched this on Amazon Prime, which has this as a 2014 movie.It is more like psychological torture than horror. Yes, there's a succubus (sp?), but most of the movie is about the mild erotica and the victim who can't escape the villains and their enchantments, so to speak.If you have "stalker scars" then you will want to avoid this movie. It has no scares, but the cats are beautiful.As always, Jeff Fahey makes having eyes a wonderful thing.

I do not understand why this movie has such bad critiques and ratings, in my opinion its one of the best succubus /which movies out there. I've seen it on TV years ago and loved it. The plot is simple, a man being sexually tempted away from his wife by a demon. The overhaul acting is good. Lisa Barbuscia is outstanding. The cinematography is also well done. The supernatural part is kept for the end, and the movie feels more like a thriller than horror. Sure the plot seams somewhat stupid, but 99% of todays movies are doing it a lot worse.If you lock out for a horror flick with scares and blood, you're wrong here. If you are looking for a trashy thriller with erotic appeal than you won't do wrong with it.

Lisa B's most famous or infamous movie depending on your view of it. Jeff Farley is a successful executive who meets the tantalizing Lisa B who rather fascinated by him. His ego being flattered he sees another conquest like his career available. Except she appears to be rather dominant and leaving him more tired than he would wish in the morning. This film is an attempt to follow classics like Rosemary's Baby and The Omen. I saw this after some word of mouth and recommendations on the net. The most intriguing was some weird parallels that occurred outside this film but were related. Lisa B plays the demoness Lilith at the time she had a successful music carer and as a campaigning journalist. One of the people recommending this was the journalist, actor, occultism and composer Stephen Armourae who knew Lisa and has done a portrait of her since. His interest in Lilith and occult groups like 'Temple of the Winged One' meant I had to see this movie. Its funny how a little background information elevates an otherwise average film to something more chilling. And this film needs it. The best parts of it are the unintended comedy of Lisa having multiple orgasms as she is a Succubus taking his energy. Also that she would be so interested in someone who is not a big Hollywood star, he has no glamor or enough good looks for a role of someone who arouses a beautiful demon.

Here we have one of those nice young couples who have found the apartment they've been searching for, only it has a sinister past. But heck, they say, so what if a guy killed himself and wrote some strange words on the wall. We'll just throw a mirror over that. But there are also a few amenities they didn't count on, like a multitude of vaguely menacing cats. Plus the apartment comes equipped with its own sexy succubus--not what every wife would want for her husband.There is more sex than scares in this movie, though neither will have you on the edge of your seat. But things do pick up a little toward the end. Jeff Fahey, B-movie vet, stars as the husband and Lisa B (didn't she used to play for Prince?) is the bedeviling demon lady. Taylor Nichols ('Metropolitan' and 'Barcelona') also has a small role.
