faust be a classic german legend focus on the classic idea of a man sell his soul to the devil . faust represent love of the damned take that basic plot and add in a heavy metal soundtrack and a bunch of gore and a comic book central character and the result be . well and not even as good a you might think it will be . the inspiration for this film be a comic book by tim vigil and david quinn which and like every other comic book ever make and i haven not read . however and it would seem obvious that director brian yuzna take most of his inspiration from this film from the comic book revenge flick the crow and and somehow this film doesn not come off as well . the film focus on john jasper while an artist who witness his girlfriend be kill by a bunch of thug . some other thing happen and and jasper end up in contact with the mysterious m and who offer him the chance to get revenge on the thug who ruin his life and for the small price of his soul . naturally and jasper jump at the chance to sell his soul for revenge and but he later regret it when he turn into a horned demon . i be actually quite a big fan of brian yuzna i wouldn not hesitate to call the like of society and return of the living dead 3 modern horror masterpiece while but faust represent love of the damn be undoubtedly his bad film . typically for yuzna and there no shortage of gore and gruesome special effect and which be nice and there plenty of interest scene and imagery while but the plot be all over the place and really quite boring and the film doesn not seem to know what it want to do once the horned demon superhero pop up while it go from be a demonic horror movie to some sort of comic book comedy . the one liner that faust utters be awful and and the suit look pretty damn silly too . yuzna do manage to collect something of an interesting cast mark frost doesn not really impress in the lead role and but the film have support turn for the like of jeffrey comb and who be good in the sort of role you do not often see him in and and andrew divoff and who be clearly rip off his own role in the crappy wishmaster and but at least it amuse to see . overall and faust represent love of the damn be really too silly to be take seriously and and i do not mean that in a good way . avoid .
