I know...we all have these stories. After a night of passion with an amazing women, we wake up only to find out they're a demon. Happens. Today we have a story of this anecdote in literal form. A horrific, gory, and romantic love story with eternal love, ripped out internal organs, and nights of passionate sex. If Harlequin Romances included gore and horror...this would have been one. Today we look at...a love story, kind of...with a lot of blood and monsters, 2023's "Desperate Souls," directed by Steve Hermann.
The sultry Moira (Angel Nichole Bradford) is a succubus...a literal one, not the figurative ones that have dotted our pasts. She finds men drowning in sorrow, makes passionate love to them, and sucks out their lives. As she plies her trade, she comes across Devin (Joe Rosing). Depression and anxiety are killing him...enter Moira. Uh oh...the succubus falls in love with him and can't bring herself to suck out his life force. She desires to spend an eternity with him. Devin has no knowledge of Moira's true identity. Even when Devin's support staff, ex-girlfriends, and other friends start dying horribly, he still doesn't suspect anything. A jealous sort, Moira refuses to let anyone live who Devin has any affection or good will for.
Moira is possessive...enter Rebecca (Magdalena Conway). She is so sweet and beautiful...and a great friend to Devin. She figures out Moira is a succubus early on, which spells doom for all her friends, sadly. Now Rebecca realizes she must fight an otherworldly being if Devin is to be saved. Slowly, after a lot of sex with Moira, Devin gets weaker and Rebecca figures something must be done fast. Internal organs will be ripped out, life forces will be sucked out, and the twisted romance will get more intense. Rebecca is so sweet and alluring we pray she will not meet a gruesome fate. Intense love...Intense horror ...and Intense romance will rule in this horror film.
Will we get an epic catfight between Rebecca and Moira with Devin's soul at stake? Is deviant and wild succubus versus sweet downhome girl the new 'Ginger versus Marianne" debate for this 21st century? Will any of this movie's hunks do anything productive to fight evil or guide a romantic relationship? Okay, that last one was a silly question. For horror, gore, sappy romance-novel type love...see "Desperate Souls."
