Beyond bad
|
| If you're into comics, you may remember a little something called Faust from way back when. Going to new extremes in terms of violence and sex, any new ground broken by Faust would be overshadowed by Todd MacFarlane's Spawn years later, which basically has the same premise. In either event, frequent Stuart Gordon partner Brian Yuzna, who has directed Re-Animator sequels as well as the excellent Return of the Living Dead 3, helms this adaptation of Faust, and as you can guess by reading the various reviews, the results are disastrous. I don't mind cheesy or low budget horror flicks one bit, but Faust stinks to high heaven with it's mostly lame effects and ridiculous costume. Mark Frost stars as a revenge driven artist seeking vengeance for the death of his girlfriend. This leads to a deal with a demon named M (the Wishmaster himself, Andrew Divoff), and soon enough he's transformed into a bloodthirsty creature with Wolverine-esque claws and an insane temperment. The acting is beyond horrible, especially Frost as the whiny main character. The only time we get a respite is from the brief appearances from Jeffrey "Re-Animator" Combs, but even his talents can't save this waste. The Roadrunner Records soundtrack doesn't help either, and it's just hard to believe that a film this bad could come from Yuzna. Faust isn't even in the "so bad it's good" territory; avoid at all costs. |
