Girlfriend from Hell

1989 ·1h 32m · ★ 4.8 (19)

The inventor of the condom has become God's bounty hunter and is tasked with tracking down and capturing the Devil, who has possessed the body of a high school wallflower in order to feed on human souls via sex.

Why it matters

A campy cult blend of teen comedy and supernatural horror that riffs on ’80s sexploitation and devil-possession tropes with gleeful irreverence.

  • Practical effects and cheeky makeup capture the era’s low-budget charm without feeling dated.
  • Perfect for fans of devil-possession flicks who appreciate a side of camp — think *The Lost Boys* meets *Re-Animator* in high school hallways.
  • Subverts the “innocent wallflower” archetype by turning it into a soulless seductress with a sinister agenda.
  • A time capsule of late ’80s horror-comedy sensibilities, where outrageous premise and goofy execution outweigh narrative polish.
