Plot

Denny is a young woman who has horrible luck with men. Her latest encounters have been particularly bad, so when she meets a homeless (and horny) street musician, Kaz, she thinks that she may have found a good man. Little does she know that Kaz was cursed by the mother of a young girl he was messing around with while he was in middle school. Whenever he becomes aroused he becomes a demon.

When young women begin to die throughout the city, Kaz begins to wonder if he is "The Mangler" that is murdering them. His worries are compounded when Denny's friend Sonia, a psychic, receives a vision that seems to confirm his suspicions. The killer is ultimately revealed to be Charles, who kidnaps Denny.

To save Denny, Kaz sleeps with Sonia to trigger his transformation. He then saves Denny and is cured of his curse, while Charles is defeated.

Production

To distinguish My Demon Lover from werewolf films, Valentine's character was written to change into a multitude of forms.[3] Comic book artist Bernie Wrightson did additional character design and storyboarding for the film.[4]

Shooting took place in Los Angeles and New York, starting in September 1986 and finishing in November.[5]

Reception

The film grossed $1,815,583 in its opening weekend.[6]

My Demon Lover received negative reviews.[5] Janet Maslin wrote in The New York Times that the film bores audiences despite its copious special effects and strange characters.[7] Michael Wilmington of the Los Angeles Times wrote that "though there’s a lot wrong with it, there are things amusingly right about it, too". While acknowledging that some audiences may find it too "overcute and shallow", he said it works better than some big studio comedies.[8] TV Guide's review says that film may have been meant to be satirical, but the film's script and direction make it difficult to take seriously.[9]
