As far as comic book adaptation go, this one is out there amongst the worst of them. I had a bad time watching it because of how poorly it all was done.The movie is made like a B-movie, with a B-cast & crew but still the movie is visually looking like an A-list movie. It creates an enormous contracts between the visual style and actually quality of the movie. It's perhaps a reason why the works out all the more badly.Brian Yuzna made some decent enough genre movie, with movies that weren't meant as serious ones but with this movie he shows that he's a real lacking director. The movie also features some real bad editing, an horrendous musical score, stupid sound effects and bad looking gore effects. Not only the storytelling of the movie is really lacking but yes, also the actual story itself. It really isn't a solid story and there is way too little actually happening it and all in all, it just simply lacks a main plot line. Thhis is really the biggest problem of the movie. It also rips off one or two too many other movies. The movie also actually features very little action, especially for a genre movie, and the action that it does feature is done incredible bad and is just plain lame. It's obviously not Brian Yuzna's thing. It doesn't actually help to make the movie any more interesting.The movie is done quite tasteless at times, with both its gore and amount of misplaced sexuality.The cast also really didn't do a good job. Odd thing is that halve of the cast consists out of Spanish actors, who were obviously dubbed at a later point during production. But also actors such as Mark Frost and Isabel Brook do a real horrible job. No wonder they starred in so few and meaningless movies. And suddenly their characters fall in love? What was up with that. Talking about a bad placed and unbelievable love story. Oh well, at least it still had Jeffrey Combs in it.Well, yes I admit that there are even worse movies out there but that doesn't really make this a good movie either, now does it.2/10http://bobafett1138.blogspot.com/

I had never heard of this movie when I picked up the DVD in a bargain clearance. However, the combined power of Brian Yuzna, Screaming Mad George and Jeffrey Combs was too powerful to resist. I'd glad I took the plunge.This film was shot in Barcelona and it provides an exotic backdrop to the grisly and fast moving proceedings.Based on a cult comic, "Faust" is terrific. Hammy acting, tongue-in-cheek shocks and a mild slice of erotica add up to an enjoyable 90 odd minutes of fun.Irresistibly sexy British actress Isabel Brook is delightful as the long legged heroine, Jade de Camp. Every scene with Ms Brook is a pleasure to watch.This is one of those movies that fits well into a 24 hour horror festival. It's no masterpiece but the fun quotient makes it a recommended film.The top-drawer, rubbery special effects are in a similar vein to the Yuzna classic "Society". Give me good old prosthetics over CGI any day of the week! This film is as mad as a bottle of chips but is great entertainment if you're not in the mood for anything too serious!

This is a really terrible, terrible Motion Picture. The direction is inept beyond belief and the acting on the most part is appalling!Mark Frost is a bad actor, I mean really bad. Every line that he delivers is off the mark somehow and his facial expressions or contortions are hammy and ridiculous.Jeffrey Combs over acts extraordinarily and gives us a caricatured portrayal of the wisecracking hard nailed cop that has been parodied frequently. His first scene with the music therapist is vomit inspiring!!!Monica Van Campen gives the only performance of note in this picture. She is a talented actor and is the only one that transcends this awful mess. It seems that some money was spent on the Production Design, Lighting and Camera. Yet all was for nought as what you see on the screen sucks.They say you can learn more about making good movies by watching bad ones! In this case don't waste your time. It's just too crap!!

Does any one realize that this whole Faust idea that this movie and your beloved comics are based off a long play written by an eighteenth century writer over his entire life. That was based off of folk stories that were created in the late Middle Ages. And published versions of these stories dated back to at least 1592. I haven't seen the movie, as a matter of fact, I've just heard of it just within a half-hour before writing this. But it seems you people watching this movie and those who seem to be devoted fans to the comic book series seem to be quite ignorant of how this whole story came about., regardless of whether this movie did really suck or not. The idea of Faust is the idea of a man torn by reason and individuality against the values that society try to blindly install into its citizens, which at the time the idea was conceived would be the influence of the Church and its ideas of how the world works and how people ought to behave.
