1989 - 87m.

Sad, over-plotted effort tells about the return of Biblical myth Lilith (Isa Andersen), who's said to have seduced Adam, to modern day and causing lust, murder and general mayhem at the fashion magazine Linden Ashby works for.

This movie has an okay pedigree with Steve Johnson effects, director Othenin-Girard (of Halloween 5) and co-writer Augustyn; but turns out to be a huge waste of time. The biggest problem is that the script constantly has illogical lapses and tries too hard to throw too many different elements together in a cohesive mix. But there's also the fact that, in general, it's a lame movie with Andersen giving a "blah" performance and some laughable moments. Ashby resembles a younger Wings Hauser and shows about as much charisma.

Just plain silly with plenty weak attempts at humour. The effects by Johnson range from sub-par to okay with Lilith's final form looking pretty shabby, but a scene that's similiar to Society that has Ashby seeing a bunch of freaky things (including a woman with faces under her breasts) turns out alright.
