[first lines]
Narrator: From the dawn of history, she has plagued mankind. Many a mother has wept for a baby found dead in its cradle. Many a man has spurned true love for an eternity in her hell. The Babylonians built statues to honor her. The Jews carved amulets for protection from her evil. By many names is she known, from Kali in India, to Pele in Hawaii. She was created from dust when Adam was created, but no restful peace in dust will she find. She is Lilith: the temptress, seducer and destroyer, harlot of demons and enemy of love. And she shall stalk us forever, walking in the shadows, sowing the seeds of discontent, reaping a harvest of souls for her caller of hell.

So this movie introduces us to Lilith, a cool demon for an eighties styled horror to center around. Here in this movie they have decided to depicted her as the incarnation of lust and embodiment of evil with a tiny call out to Pazuzu (see if you can find it). Her powers are mostly psychic enabling her to send images into people dreams and thoughts and also move objects around telekinesis like. Lilith was very well portrayed by German actress Isa Jank in this movie whom I've never seen before in any horror and I thought she did an amazing job on this role while being very sexy.
Acting wise we also get some familiar faces from horror which should be a welcome sight to many. I was surprised to see B. J Turner here as well as I am a fan of the movie Scarecrows (1988) too and now this movie. I barely recognized Doug Jones, the man is a true chameleon much like Jenette Goldstein both of whom are always worth seeing, Jenette not being in this movie though but they are worth comparing.
Phil Fondacaro's appearance is unfortunately barely even cameo its so short but good never the less as is Roscoe as the narrator. Karen Black on the other hand was great also but seen plenty of times through out the movie, very enjoyable performances all round and truely leaves you wondering what people were thinking rating this movies so low and easily places this movie in the top 5 most under rated horrors of the 80's both due to how few people who have actually seen it and how poorly it has been rated by those who have seen it.
As I wrote earlier, there is a plethora of 80's horror elements in this movie and it would require a very long review to cover them all. Eitherway I will say that it was refreshing to watch a horror and not at all feel the need to fast forward at any point. Also being a fan of weird horror I should point out that this movie does come with a few flash in the pan weird body horror moments mostly towards the end, nothing quite as extreme as Society (1989) though but still welcome.
If you like under-rated horrors like this I would recommend the following: Impulse (1984), Xtro (1982), Nightwish (1989), Spookies (1986), Subspecies (1991), Dead and Buried (1981), The Dark Side of the Moon (1990), and Silent Madness (1984). All worth the watch if you can find them.
