Last night, from the YouTube channel The Burial Ground5, I watched this weird, cheesy, sleazy and unintentionally hilarious flick called Demon Seed.
A woman named Lisa is living in a beach house with her architect husband Burt, and their teenage daughter Michelle. Since Burt is so busy with work, he’s neglecting Lisa. The daughter starts seeing odd things and suspecting that there’s something wrong in the house, as well as noticing the growing tension between her parents. A demon woman named Belline appears, with a scheme to try and take possession of the family, and takes advantage of Lisa’s loneliness by having her be seduced by the spirit of a handsome man. Disturbed by his wife’s increasingly bizarre behavior, Burt seeks the help of his friend’s psychic wife Ann Marie, in an effort to get to the bottom of the strange things happening at their home.
This movie was so damn cheesy and had me laughing multiple times, with its outrageous scenes of supernatural shenanigans, including a demonic black cat, glowing eyes, a face that appears on a wall, a decapitation and scenes of the wife being seduced by a ghost (she spends half the movie naked and making orgasmic groaning sounds). I’m not sure what they were going for, as the end result consists of them throwing a bunch of ridiculous, random things at the wall to see what sticks. David Carradine even makes a brief appearance as a priest. Between the bad acting, the ridiculous, nonsensical storyline, cheesy synthesizer music and bad sound design (there's a few scenes where the background noise drowns out the dialogue spoken by the characters), this is a bad movie lover’s dream. It was known under a bunch of different titles, including Satan's Mistress, Demon Rage, Fury of the Succubus and Dark Eyes. If you happen to catch this, you’ll know it for how hilariously awful it is.
