I actually enjoyed this film. It was cheesy, campy and highly entertaining. I liked the over all story and small town setting vibe. Wish some of the characters were a little more flushed out, they kept introducing new people only to have them meet a awesome death minutes later.

The practical effects were great, yeah you could tell some of them were pretty amateurish but I think it helped the film actually. The editing and pacing was pretty good actually, wish they spent more time on the demon lore. I also wanted to see that lust demon go to town on those 3 Gothic chicks in that house, but than Roscoe interrupted and ruined everything! The sound was unfortunately terrible. Not so much the general sound mixing but the dialogue...oh god I thought it was a foreign film at first with bad dubbing.

The ending unfortunately seemed abit rushed and didnt really resolve anything for me. Man beast just running around wild now? Did Roscoe and Eva live thanks to their love magic?

But overall like I said it was a very enjoyable film. Its def not going to be for everyone and thats a fact. But if you can get over its short comings I think you will enjoy it. I hope the director and the crew are proud and I hope thye try and make more films. Good job guys!

I thought it was a good film as well. I loved the special effects, the cinematography, the colors, and the small town setting. I just think some of the characters could've been fleshed out more and the story itself was a bit hard to follow. But overall it isn't a bad movie and the special effects and film as a whole are more beautiful than most mainstream Hollywood horror films that have 10 times the budget this one did.
