Description:
There's a succubus--a female vampire with a disturbingly sexual modus operandi--thinning out the male singles-bar population in New York, and it's up to a young Southern divinity student and his friends to stop her from continuing to act upon her hellish urges. A funky urban nightmare from quadruple-threat newcomer James Bond III (actor, producer, writer, and director), this self-assured debut is notable for being the first all-black horror film in quite some time. One of the few films of merit to be released by the notoriously low-rent Troma Studios (home of The Toxic Avenger, Surf Nazis Must Die, and many others), it's a prov
There's a succubus--a female vampire with a disturbingly sexual modus operandi--thinning out the male singles-bar population in New York, and it's up to a young Southern divinity student and his friends to stop her from continuing to act upon her hellish urges. A funky urban nightmare from quadruple-threat newcomer James Bond III (actor, producer, writer, and director), this self-assured debut is notable for being the first all-black horror film in quite some time. One of the few films of merit to be released by the notoriously low-rent Troma Studios (home of The Toxic Avenger, Surf Nazis Must Die, and many others), it's a provocative and scary movie with a professionalism that belies the obviously minuscule budget. The exquisite cinematography is by Spike Lee regular Ernest Dickerson. --Andrew Wright
In one of his earliest pre-Pulp Fiction performances, Samuel L. Jackson helps face off against a supernatural menace to society in this theatrical sleeper hit shot on colorfully vivid 35mm. A sexy female succubus is hell-bent on destroying Joel (A DIFFERENT WORLD’s Kadeem Hardison), a young divinity student, through her powers of seduction. One by one, Joel's friends fall victim to her charms, leaving Joel to face the temptress...and his destiny...alone. Bill Nunn (DO THE RIGHT THING) also stars in this terrifying story of vampires and lust. Featuring star power, lavish production values and smoking urban locales, Def By Temptation showcases the brightest young black cast and crew in a thoughtfully frightening horror extravaganza.
