Sick of PG-rated superheroes? Well have I got a movie for you!
Aberrations 1997 next?
This movie is so aeesome
This movie is far better than it has any business being, considering the production, while also being really bad.
Almost wish a better writer/director(bigger budget) had done this script.
What's up with women in Jeffrey Combs movies turning into S&M nymphos that only like the bad guys.
are we sure this is the deviland not just a djinn? (wishmaster)
The lead feels like his only preparation for this movie was watching Jim Carrey's The Mask on repeat for 12 hours.
No. The makeup department watched The Mask. The lead was watching Ace Ventura Pet Detective. 🤣
pretty much scrolled down to say this!
RLM had a great quip that the guy looks like Fire Marshall Bill.
An R-rated The Mask would be pretty cool.
@@funkyweapon1981 would also be more faithful to the source material.
You can't kill the Devil with a shotgun: Ash Williams begs to differ
So does Doomguy
"Because John died as he lived: with a weird bug-eyed expresion."
Love it.
Jeffrey Combs automatically makes any movie better. Now you have Andrew Divoff too? All we need is Brad Dourif and you have the holy trinity of sci-fi/horror actors that can elevate even the cheesiest material to high theater.
gary busey, tim curry , billy zane and them are on the mt rushmore of making cheesy material better and epic
Jeffrey Combs made a fucking Transformers show better just by being there. It’s like the only good transformers show too. That’s just his power.
Don't forget Ken Foree, as well!
And Dennis Hopper
Tim Thomerson.
I love the fact that the psychologist uses Sepultura as music therapy on a violent, mass-murder suspect.
I mean what better way to calm a guy like this down, than with some ''Roots, Bloody Roots'', amirite?
Sepultura, Fear Factory....great soundtrack
Soundtrack was better than spawn, queen of the damned, the matrix, the one, Dracula 2000... Truly a golden age
@@eldeano9964 The Crow will always be the best 90s OST imo
Pantera, Cowboys from Hell?
13:44 “I’m the pornography that gets you hot!”? Not sure if this is the gritty reboot of Darkwing Duck we wanted. Curse you, Lonely Island!
Gotta love the fact that the 'villain' is forthright in the fact he wants his soul, fair enough. The fact that the guy signs his name in blood and even does his little underline flourish was amazing. 'If I'm signing my name in blood I'm not taking any short cuts, I'm doing it like this was in pen' Surprised he didn't go the full mile and write his entire name complete with 'Hound Dog' in the middle
At least an “AKA Morning Star” or something. 😆
I know right? Usually they take a blood drop as a signature and full consent but M insists on something he can file properly. He does seem to attract a combination of dumb and traitorous as well. So points for him that he keeps the compentent minions loyal?
'Hound Dog' was the cop not the killer.
What I liked most about this film was how the actors really looked like they cared. So much passion and energy.
The devil's portrayal is also one of the best in cinema.
Screaming Mad George is a treasure, he really deserves more attention.
This is like a live-action mix of Devilman, The Crow and Spawn. This is awesome!
A movie with Jefferey Combs as a bad ass cop?
We NEEDED that!
Wasn't he a cop in Feardotcom as well?
...
...that Transformers Prime reference, though...
@@JnEricsonx Yep
The Frighteners?
@@Madbandit77 Nah, he was a messed up FBI guy in that. Did sign my copy of it with "my body is a road map of PAIN"
It's funny, the original comic was first made in 1987...it actually predates both Spawn and The Crow.
And now Sony is planning to make it into a movie.
Update: Animated series
@@comixproviderftw_02 oh no
@@UnownDepth It’s FASUT TIME!
So did this influence The crow given the origin of artist coming back to help girlfriend murdered in apartment or just similar ideas and coincidence
@@cowboyquebecanimations3068 parallel lines to a degree. There were a lot of love avenged stories before those, it's just the mid 80's started the "turn it up to 11 at all times" aesthetic in independent comics that became the norm by the end of the decade.
I started watching your videos a couple years ago when my daughter and I were having hard times, living in a hotel, any money left went to feed us. I recently rediscovered you and realized that you helped me get through that time. Thank you! Love your movie picks, I've seen so many of them. You seem like a real good guy. Hope to see more from you.
Andrew Divoff is one of those guys who can give a great performance if given the chance. He does well here, and I have always liked his role as the lead bad guy in Toy Soldiers.
I read your comment and immediately thought “huh, I always thought that was Tommy Lee Jones.”
🤣🤦🏼♀️
He's also a big reason the first two Wishmaster movies are so good.
@@B.-T. abso-fucking-lutely! The first one also had Kane Hodder and Robert Englund, so there’s no way I would have passed on the film.
Tbh, I have never seen Faust and I can’t even comprehend why not. The one and only Jeffrey Combs is in it; how did I miss that? 😂
@@B.-T. love andrew hes such an badass in everything he in....id definately would love to see him play mr sinister, or mephisto he alreadly played him in this film
@@B.-T. You mean the ONLY good Wishmaster movies? XD
"Oh, well that explains it. These weren't murders. They were just happy accidents." lmao! Bob Ross humor. I love this crazy movie and clicked as soon as I saw that you covered it. Brian Yuzna is the sh*t! I love showing people Society. That's always fun.
I’m actually wearing a Faust shirt today by coincidence! It’s the illustration of Claire with a straight razor with blood dripping down her chest.
It’s also worth noting that it took 28 years for them to do a comic series that ended at issue 15..
the comic actually ended? i thought they would stretch it forever lol
@@fashioniscool they finally finished it. Issue 15 is hard as hell to get ahold of.
@@FXJunky i have to look into that. It's been years since i collected comics. Last issue i got is 12 or 13...
@@fashioniscool I can't believe, I'm not the only who ever read the comic. The movie water down a lot!
@@StanvilleBrown Back in the day i knew this big heavy metal guy who was obsessed with this comic Faust, so i checked it out too. Haha, it was sooo far out of the mainstream!
Divoff has always specialised in wish for soul deals.
He'd make a great used car salesman then.
This movie feels very late 1990's than early 2000's. The effects and the cinematography feel like "The Guyver"
Yes I do like his portrayal of the devil. Because it's not an easy role to pull off.
"Oh, I make such a mess when I play," is lifted straight from the comic, as it happens. Yes, I read the comic in my early 90s edge lord youth and liked it then because...well, did I mention I was young and trying to be edgy? Amazing artwork, if nothing else. This movie looks gloriously bad, further! Another fun video in the bag!
Same, I think I may still have them in a box in my attic.
Some here too, except my box is in the basement. Vigils art is really striking. And disgusting. But the story never goes anywhere, looking back I’m not sure if that’s because it’s just an excuse for a lot of sex and violence, or if the writer had some kind of original idea that he wasn’t able to pull off properly. I mean, there is something there, but in the end it doesn’t deliver. Unlike this movie - jeez loise.
@@danguillou713 Yer right, too--the story in the comic was always what you call muddled at best. The artwork and the grossness of the subject matter were the main selling points.
I cringe whenever someone uses the word "edgy"
@@LordRezo Well, to be fair? It is used as a put down most of the time and I do look back at that time in my life and wince about that, sooo...works for me.
It has never been acknowledged but i believe Tim Vigil,artist of Faust, was a big influence on the Image comics crew.
Yeah. Especially since Spawn is more or less a rip off of it.
@@Aaron-zt5ee Venom from Hell rather than Wolverine isn't an awful touch, though?
Brandon is about the only content creator I make sure to watch every video from. Not being a fanboy or anything, he just seems like a cool dude.
I love this movie. It's just the right blend of talent and awful, awful decisions, cheapness and interesting concepts.
I used to read this comic - I had it in what was called a "file" and picked up the new issue every time it came out.
Yup, it's VERY graphic - the sex was hardcore, and the violence was WAY over the top gory.
Good stuff!
I never heard of the movie, and I'm a huge fan of Full Moon and Jeffery Combs.
The art rocked! I forgot all about this comic. Looks like its time to dive into my collection.
So hard to get issues even if you put in the monthly orders via the distribution companies.
If you never heard of the movie was for a very simple reason: It isn't an american production. It was actually from Spain.
Fantastic Factory was a very curious experiment on Spain back on the early 2000s, when Filmax (One of the main distributors/producers in Spain) wanted to expand its market of Horror Movies, making our own movies.
I have 3 of the 9 films: Faust, Dagon (Which is a weird adaptation of "The Shadow over Innsmouth" with a pinch of "Dagon"), and Rottweiller (A Sci-Fi/Action adaptation of a spanish 70s book about a prisoner who is being chased by a Rottweiller whose last order of his owner was to hunt and kill the prisoner).
Never thought nu metal and Jeffrey Combs would be in the same movie 👍
This movie was made before the comic book story was finished. It took like 3 years to finish the final 2 issues. Also the stuff in this movie is tame to what happens in the comics. If they remade this movie to be comic accurate it would be XXX.
Faust is also the character Todd McFarland ripped off to make Spawn.
...
What happens in the original comic book versión?
@@Invidente7 Um....utterly graphic violence and full on explicit sex.
@@JnEricsonx I, for one, thank Tim Vigil for that.
THANK YOU. I kind of feel that McFarlane's whole cross hatching style came from Faust as well. I could be wrong on that one, though.
@@Invidente7 Lots of explicit orgies, sex magic, extreme gore, human sacrifices, ritualistic r*pe, butt secks with snakes, demons with rock hard boners, ... Name whatever gross thing, it's probably in there.
And now I have an answer for "What if someone Hard-Boiled the Noid?"
Honestly his anti-pizza shenanigans were weirder bar far.
I spent the entire video trying to figure out what Faust's character design reminded me of, and you nailed it in a single sentence.
I was expecting a final giant monster at LEAST as awesome as The Zoalord... and once again, Screaming Mad George does not disappoint.
Hey, that's what I'm here for... the gore and the creature-effects.
With an honorable mention for the boobs. Which in this film, were sort of a gory creature effect too. ^_^
@@kingvulturo Well, considering how... gooey... THAT scene gets, where the T&A turns into full-bore Body Horror...
Andrew Divoff steals every scene he's in ❤️ what an underused actor...liked his role in LOST, too...
This is a more comic accurate movie to The Mask than...The Mask
In the words of a truly great man...
"Wake up Dickheads! Its time for Faust!"
Ctrl+F "wake up", match found.
I've been collecting FAUST from day one. Tim Vigil and David Quinn rock! I own this movie as well.
Thanks for adding it and doing a vid Brandon!
"Faust." We all know that surname, even if only barely discernible to some. Faust is almost an archetype but for the fact that it was a play written by Christopher Marlowe in 1592 and all archetypes have only glimpses from millennia.
I needed a sarcastic Canadian's opinion today. Thanks.
I'd love to have seen Divoff and Ironside as dueling villains. That would have been epic.
The comics are even weirder than the movie, but honestly I like both for that. Plus gore and practical effects are a blast!^^
man, Dominos really went in a surprising direction for their first attempt at a Noid movie.
I would certainly avoid this Noid.
I'd really like to see an R-rated movie adaptation of Tim Vigil's other book "Grips".
"The way you painted your cell with your feces..." friggin' dropped me lolololol!
The final boss looked like he was flushed down a toilet.
When Jeffrey Combs is involved, things will get really interesting.
I also read most of the comics, and yeah, this looked quite tame. The comic was not only very graphic, but for a B&W style, Vigil was insane with the detailing.
I promise it’s not tame.
@@ThomasRoll85 compared to the comic, even Hershel Gordon Lewis could be tame.
Congratulations on your wiki trip.
I was talking about emotions.
Oh, crap. I remember seeing this film briefly at school. Some kid a grade lower than me brought a portable DVD player to school and watched the film between classes. He even told me that it was a low budget Spawn rip-off.
The character predates Spawn by a few years.
This was a great review, Brandon! I’d never heard of this movie, nor had I heard of the comic it’s based upon. That’s just one of the many things I love about your channel: I’m always discovering new things while having the best time watching your reviews! Thank you so much for sharing your take on this utterly bizarre film. Keep up the awesomeness! I already can’t wait for your next upload. 🖤
I collected the comics and was happy as heck to see that a movie version was being made. Tim Vigil, who created the comics was a genius in drawing violence.
I remember learning about this movie thanks to Diamanda Hagen, it definitely did it's best to earn that solid R rating, lol.
Same. Diamanda introduced me to a bunch of whacko amazing films.
Andrew Divoff is pure gold in almost everything he plays.
Loved hin in Wishmaster!
You don't give Mark Frost enough credits. I think his facial acting is superb. Especially when playing the manic Faust.
M: I know something that could have gotten you out of this situation...
Faust: What was that?
M: not making a deal with me
Faust: you’re right but I don’t have to be happy about it
M: that’s fair
Bizzare. At least an effect from Society shows up in this film.
Ghost Rider, Spawn, Faust, Winslow from "Phantom of the Paradise"...Cuphead...what is it with these demons never being able to control the people they make devil deals with. I mean you gave them their powers couldn't you just take them away? o_O
"Ever wanted to see Julian Assange play Anton LaVey?"
Spit-take GOLD!
Love this movie. I got into the comics way back in the 90's, and got the meet the artist a couple of times. It is the inspiration for my username.
I've seen this movie a few times. It suffers from a weak protagonist, corny one-liners, and could have used 50% more Jeffrey Combs. What am I saying? 100% more Jeffrey Combs!
Thank you Brandon for reviewing my Patreon request. I was laughing the entire time. I especially loved how you handled a certain scene with extensive black barring.
Jeffrey Combs looks like a cross between the blue ranger and David tenant.
The problem with this movie is the main hero himself. I forgive a lot of bad acting but this guy makes Tommy Wiseau look like Marlon Brando.
GOD, I love this movie, thank you for covering this underrated gem.
I am so happy you did a review on this movie. I have been trying to remember this movie for over 20 years. Thank you so much Brandon.
I had these comics way back in the day: late 80s or early 90s...
I remember seeing this when it first came out. I rented it one weekend from my local movie store. I always kind of had it in the back of my mind but couldn’t never remember to much about it. So happy to see a review about it and remember more of it
Why doesn't Brandon have a million subscribers?! 😕 Such an entertaining channel.
An absolute riot a surprise combs and a Bob Ross joke. Epic con tent
I've been waiting for you to get to this for years. Saw this years ago and fell in love with it
The devil makes better contracts than Disney and keeps his word more too
I wonder if Yuzna would be interested in my script. It’s written with Jeffrey Combs in mind, playing a hard boiled bachelor who follows his puppy around with a roll of paper towels cleaning up all the messes the pup makes.
I call it Bounty the Dog Hunter
I love this movie, as I love every flick Yuzna was involved with, which btw, you forgot to mention Dagon, for which he was the/a producer if I remember correctly, and not only is one of the best adaptation ever done of a Lovecraft tale, even though weirdly enough, Dagon is not the adapted tale but Shadow over Innsmouth is, but it is a great little horror flick with fantastic practical effects.
Anyway, I was pretty sure you already Faust, so is it my memory being a bit scrambled? Is it you doing things twice? 😅 Or are we witnessing your own first Mandela effect? The plot thickens..
Nope, never did this movie before. RedLetterMedia had it on Best Of The Worst though
@@TheBrandonTenold That's it, botw! No Mandela effect though, I'm slightly disappointed! 😅
I love Brian Yuzna. His films are always entertaining and bizarre in all the right ways. I agree that Dagon is one of the best H. P. Lovecraft film adaptations out there. That is one I go back and watch again quite often. Society is another. I love showing that one to unsuspecting viewers. lol
I really want someone to make a movie where the Devil/Satan/whatever stand-in for it is rightfully depicted as the good guy after offering someone a deal that they explicitly stated the consequences to without hiding anything, and the person trying to weasel their way out of it despite having full knowledge of what they agreed to is the villain.
“Stammer, scream, shit yourselves, and my silver talons dip in again and again . . . the pure ecstasy of the kill . . .”
22:27 "To win the game, you must kill me, John Romero!"
Never this one existed, now I have to see it! Thanks for the find and good job for the review 🙂
“Bondage club Annie Potts”

Yes a new review love watching these reviews
I'd never seen Andrew Divoff in anything outside Lost, damn he's a good villain. "Complain, complain, complain!"
He was in Wishmaster as well!
Been waiting for this long time thank you.
From the list of "Movies you never rented at Blockbuster while in College"
Well he's like an avenging bat or bat-like creature, so maybe those guys were on their way to do in Bruce Wayne's parents.
TUBI has a bunch of Yuzna's/Gordon's movies streaming for free. ;D
Society, From Beyond, Reanimator Trilogy, and Dagon are on there last I checked.
I really liked this one. Thanks for covering it.
Cmon Brandon, you and I both know Faust doesn’t look like an alien Wolverine, it’s an alien version of Cell from Dragonball Z just with candlewax
Now that you mention it, he does look like Cell XD
If that's the case, maybe Divoff should've played Faust instead. After all, his voice for the Djinn from Wishmaster pretty much was Imperfect Cell. (hell, it was actually one of the inspirations for Abridged Imperfect Cell)
Oh my god, I'm early. Finally get to see Brandon when his vid is new for once.
Just watched a trailer for a 1965 movie called Atragon. If this doesn’t have you written all over it, I don’t know what does 😂
Your the best man. Made my day again. Thanks again buddy.
I very much appreciate that you made a Powerman 5000 joke. They are very much a underrated band they deserve love. So thanks for making my day with this video and that joke. 14:25
The funniest thing about this movie is it came out almost 15 years before the final issue of the original series. Wish I still have the dvd.
Well technically Jeffrey Combs did play a superhero and a hard-boiled Detective.... he plays The Question in the Justice League animated series, the character that was based on Roshak from Watchmen!
I think it was the other way around.
Rorschach is based in The Question.
No, Rorschach was inspired by the Question. And, to quote Vic Sage, "Rorschach sucks."
The Homonculus here kind of reminds me of the demon monster thing from the end of Rock n' Rule.
Yes the difference between comic books and graphic novel.
What you wanted was a comic book antihero. What you got was a Noid.
Been waiting for Brandon to cover Society. Eh, close enough.
This movie just makes me want to revisit The Crow
Noticed you changed your pfp, I like it!
Hound Dog was also in the Frightners.
I remember Faust and Grips comic back in the 90s. Those comics are similar to those video behind the curtain in the video rental store.
I worked at Boss Film when Screaming Mad George was there. We became friends, he's a hippy trippy dude.
One movie I would love for you to have on the show is William Peter blatty's "The Ninth Configuration" it's not a horror movie but it's so much crazier than that😵 trust me it's worth it!👌
This is so nineties comic book it hurts.
Awesome both the Re-Animator and The Wishmaster in the same film.
Fun fact, considering how many kids Wolverine has, that number is WAY higher than 2
