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.
