My Demon Lover

A goofy, sleazy eighties creature-feature romance that lurches between laughs, scares and awkward lust, best enjoyed with low expectations.

Tagline: She was a dream come true. He was a good reason not to go to sleep.

How it feels: Campy, absurd, romantic and eerie. Brisk and easy to follow.
About: Love, obsession, identity, madness
Content: Strong sexual content. Mild violence, gore and language.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
