Holy moly, what the heck happened here? Brian Yuzna...you're better than this! I've seen you do better than this! How did you make something this hideously AWFUL?I watched this because it has Andrew Divoff and Jeffery Combs in it. Well, at least both of them are fun to watch as always, but they're only as good as the awful material will let them be. It seriously, truly feels like they shot this from the first draft of the script, and that said draft was written by a high school dropout goth. The two leads are horrifically awful. Frost hams it up something fierce as John Jasper. Hamming is probably too generous a word. He has absolutely no idea what he's doing and uses idiotic facial expressions to fill in his complete lack of any talent whatsoever. Brook is nearly as bad, just slumming it hideously the whole way through. The makeup is awful, with Faust's outfit looking like the cheap rubber that it is. His Wolverine-knockoff claws look like flimsy plastic and bounce around everywhere. You really don't believe that he could cut through a car roof with them. The story lurches around and barely manages to stick together. The characters have no dimension to them. They do things because the script wants them to, not because it actually fits their paper-thin character in any possible way. They just do what's necessary to move things along. There's no motivation here beyond "The director and writer said to!" One minute, the lead chick loathes and fears Faust, and the next minute they start shagging. Yeah, that makes sense.Yuzna, how did you mess this up so BADLY? At least his other efforts have managed to be fun. Reanimator, From Beyond, Dagon (I know, he wasn't the director, but he was heavily involved in creative direction), etc may not have been great movies, but they were fun cult flicks. Faust isn't fun at all. It's not even so bad it's fun. It's just nigh-unwatchably horrid.How this movie won ANY kind of award other than a Razzie is something that I will never grasp even if God himself came down and explained it to me. Do yourself a favor and miss this. If you want to see Divoff being sinister, go watch Wishmaster. If you want to see Combs doing his fun hamming (and I mean that in a good way. Combs is fun to watch), go watch Reanimator, From Beyond, or The Frighteners. If you want to see something that will make you truly believe that you've wasted 92 minutes of your life beyond anything you could imagine, watch Faust.

What a mess this was. There are some fans of Wishmaster evil demonic genie Divoff who plays, I believe, Lucifer here(..with albino white hair!)and he certainly has a way of exhibitioning pure evil with the way he tilts his head and twists his face. This film seeps every ounce of artistic integrity from the original play bludgeoning us over the head with Ringo knows what. Faust himself was once this artist named John Jaspers(Mark Frost, incredibly hammy) whose lover was killed by her portly pimp and his accomplices, wishes revenge to the point he'll sell his soul, gain from Divoff these Wolverine-esquire titanium blades, kill those who did his ole lady in, and face the consequences for his harbored anger and blood-lusting vengeance. Divoff has control over him and forces him into destroying a Chinese Consul meeting wiping out something like 19 people. Jeffrey Combs is a detective who wishes to know why he did it as Faust(in human form at this point)is catatonic. A psychologist,Jade(Isabel Brook, a stunning beauty) who uses music to get inside what makes the mad crazy, soon becomes a chess-piece between Divoff's Lucifer and Faust(still John at this point).Soon Divoff is through with his acquisition and buries him alive, but the joker kills a skeleton choking him(huh?)and returns from the near trip to hell as a steroid-n-crack version of the Daredevil who obliterates, I'm guessing, more than 20 or so people(and a slew of damned cops..I figure the entire police station was emptied into Faust's feverish wrath). Divoff has a chick by his side, Claire(Mònica Van Campen, melts fervent heat right from the screen) always trying to seduce someone into robbing her master of his power since Lucifer's human shell is weakening(..I don't know, ask those who made this damn thing what the point is of Lucifer staying in a weak body when he should be able to invade many of those who worship him). She loves showing her breasts(they are quite delicious, I must say)and cavorting around like a cat in heat. Jade has issues..a buried rape from someone whose face is covered in wax(you think this sounds silly, wait until you see the method of torture used to project who the rapist was)and she falls in love with the John. Combs soon joins allegiance with Lucifer and the poor Jade is tricked by him into Divoff's lair..she is a hostage at the mercy of her captors. Meanwhile, Claire who desires Lucifer's seat will perhaps get her wish.The film throws the kitchen sink at you..are you willing to duck? Because, the climax has this beast summoned from hell, Faust trying to save Jade from being impregnated by Lucifer, Combs swallowing a serpent removed from the stomach of Lucifer's Claire who betrayed him, and a blood, sacrificial orgy of Satanists.Phew, I'm telling you, this flick is messed up!

This is a really terrible, terrible Motion Picture. The direction is inept beyond belief and the acting on the most part is appalling!Mark Frost is a bad actor, I mean really bad. Every line that he delivers is off the mark somehow and his facial expressions or contortions are hammy and ridiculous.Jeffrey Combs over acts extraordinarily and gives us a caricatured portrayal of the wisecracking hard nailed cop that has been parodied frequently. His first scene with the music therapist is vomit inspiring!!!Monica Van Campen gives the only performance of note in this picture. She is a talented actor and is the only one that transcends this awful mess. It seems that some money was spent on the Production Design, Lighting and Camera. Yet all was for nought as what you see on the screen sucks.They say you can learn more about making good movies by watching bad ones! In this case don't waste your time. It's just too crap!!

There is not a single original line in Faust: Love of the Damned, and, the truth is, that's not even the worst of it. Faust... is a miasma of eye-rolling sexcapades (dressed up in a way that is clearly meant to seem demonic, but that falls exceedingly short), poor and tired special effects, and a completely incomprehensible plot. Even veteran horror actor Jeffrey Combs of Re-Animator fame can't pull this movie into something watchable, although his sudden turn to the dark side is probably the only good twist in this terrible film. One almost wonders whether Yuzna used some sort of blackmail material to convince Combs to be in this dreadful flick (with an interesting pair of sideburns to boot).Faust... says nothing new about the natures of good and evil or the entity of the devil. In addition, it borders on pornographic with its senseless sex scenes and downright offensive with its portrayal of sexual abuse. Barely redeemable.
