A heavy-metal musician makes a deal with a satanic succubus to make him successful with women, in return for the succubus being able to feed on the girls.

Why it matters

A devilish blend of ’80s metal fantasy and succubus folklore that trades polish for cult charm and low-budget ambition.

  • Early indie horror with a raw, DIY feel capturing mid-’80s underground metal and college party vibes.
  • Succubus mythology meets rock ’n’ roll excess—an offbeat mix that prefigures later occult-tinged genre hybrids.
  • Practical effects are sparse but earnest, lending a rough-hewn texture that fans of low-fi horror will appreciate.
  • Not for those seeking tight plotting or slick production—this one’s a cult curiosity for fetishists of obscure demon-possession flicks and nostalgic metalhead atmospheres.
