Any movie that starts with a bartender convincing his girl friend to get an abortion can't be all bad, even when it's from Troma.
Or maybe it can.
Def By Temptation is an African-American vampire story from the early nineties- ok, it was released early enough in the nineties that it was filmed at the tail end of eighties that everybody was still wearing serious eighties clothes.
James Bond iii is the director, producer, writer, and star of the piece and it comes of as... pretty indulgent.
Bond plays Joel, a divinity student about to become a minister who visits a former classmate in New York City, where a lady vampire's been preying on men at a bar. The lady vampire is reminiscent of a Prince protoge' like Apollonia or Vanity.
It's... ugh.
It does have one thing going for it though- it's a horror film where the black guy doesn't die. There aren't that many black horror movies, so it's... well it's something.
Of course, the real redeeming quality of this thing is Samuel L. Jackson as Joel's dead father, appearing in flashbacks, nightmares and visions.
