Great footage of NYC back before the gentrification and MTV @ Times Square. Heaps of garbage, bag atop of bag on every street corner, entire city blocks just lost to crack, just f*cking lost, what a beautiful city then. No, movie sucks, like it was supposed to be a vehicle for Scott Valentine to advance beyond his Family Ties work, movie did not pay out for the dude. I mean I guess this is an entertaining movie in that with a group of friends its good to watch together and make fun of. But to watch on your own, like on your own time, nope, no way. My Demon Lover, is a creepy ill-conceived romantic comedy to be avoided.

The film's song "Let Go" is by the band Intimate Strangers. The song also appears on their album "Charm".Looking back on it, the film is rather cheesy and the special effects and makeup are pretty cheap, but in its day, it wasn't that bad. I'm not sure if that means I've grown up or the movies made back then were pretty bad...I guess a little of both. Nevertheless, I really liked the song "Let Go" from the film, wondered who the band was that play it, and how I could get the full version of the song. Finally after researching online I found more information about the song and wanted to post it here for other fans of it. I hope this helps someone.

Kaz (Scott Valentine) has a very slight problem. Whenever he starts kissing a girl, he begins to change into an ugly monster! This is because a mother once found him embracing her daughter and used an old world spell on him. He is presently a sort of street bum, with little hope for the future. Denny (Michele Little) is a sweet blonde lady who loves to rescue those in need. Naturally, Denny takes Kaz home and swears she'll help him get back on his feet. She is blissfully ignorant of his transformation. What happens when she learns the truth? And could Kaz be terrorizing the neighborhood at night, too? Valentine and Little carry this film with their good looks and innate sweetness. The story, of course, has its inconsistencies but is mostly fun and fresh. The supporting cast does a fine job, too and the costumes and Greenwich Village setting add pleasure to the complete film. While one does not have to run like a demon to grab a copy of this movie at the store or library, those who love comedic romance stories, whatever the variation, will find this one is easy to love.

An entertaining premise, adequately handled, with some amusing (if not always top-of-the-line) special effects. The picture is nothing more than a trivial time-killer, but it has a nice spirit. Initially you may be turned off by the behavior of the leading character, but he grows more appealing as the film goes along. On the other hand, Michelle Little plays one of the nicest persons who ever appeared in an 80s film! (**)
