A reimagining of Faust seen through a lowly bandleader trying to help his money-strapped band to break through by making a deal with a mysterious club owner. Sadly, this rolls the life of the band down the pits until a 'hellbent' night of murders and payback.

An interesting film.

Been watching a lot of those 80s cheap B to Z films and a lot of them have concepts and earnestness BUT lacks that certain sharpness that can lift up the material. This film is a good example of that. It has a fine concept BUT the execution feels a lot to be desired.

The acting in particular feels B- at best. Its a bit TV movie level acting. No one can emote range AND it puts down the film all around. I wished that they could have gone full camp BUT that is already too much to ask.

The direction/cinematography is typical for this type of film, that weird color range and defiantly cheap looking vibe. Not particularly bad though. The writing has interesting concepts BUT could have been definitely sharper AND add more plot beats. The ending is also very confusing too.

Overall, not the best but watcheable.
