Def By Temptation
Directed by James Bond III
A succubus is hell-bent on using her seductive powers to destroy a young minister in this low-budget Troma hit featuring a pre-fame Samuel L. Jackson. Joel (director James Bond III) found religion after his parents died in a mysterious crash, while his best friend K (Kadeem Hardison) became a big player. When Joel visits K in NYC, he meets a sexy demon who is determined to drag him down to hell, unless the Lord can help him resist her charms. DEF helped pave the way for the ‘90s Black horror revival that resulted in hits like CANDYMAN and TALES FROM THE HOOD. Contains strong language, sexual scenes, violence and gore.

Def worth a watch! 😝 I’m biased as I truly do love Troma films. This has its giggle points but is a little more ‘serious’ for a Troma film (if ya know what I mean, ya know). Story base was great, don’t mind the confusion in the beginning, they didn’t do a very good “foreshadowing” effect, came out jumbled. However, fun watch, huge practical effects fan & they preformed extremely well in that department. In true Troma fashion, I say: Give into temptation & feast your eyes upon the true evil lurking in the lust….
It's Troma and it's what you expect.
Damn good movie! For it being the only film directed by James Bond III, it sure is a breath of fresh air amongst the low-budget urban film community. Great cinematography, lighting, acting, and pretty decent story. Ernest Dickerson's cinematography is at its best, in my opinion. It's amazing to see what dedicated filmmakers can do with peanuts for a film budget.
eh. it was fine. got bored with it
Thumbs` up all the way !
