As the era started putting out neo-Noirs, in 1990, James Bond III dared make neo-Blaxploitation by way of horror with Def by Temptation, about a demonic succubus who takes her lovers' souls in a rash of deadly one-night stands, but then sets her sights on an innocent would-be preacher (Bond himself) where she must play a longer game. Out to help the boyish seminary student are his old friend, now a movie star, and an X-Files case worker. It's a fairly cheap movie, but it has a lot of horror gags up its sleeve and the demon uses many different tricks, so Def isn't as repetitive as the plot would make it seem. And beyond the horror story, the film is interested in the bar scene as meat market, as we hear a lot of pick-up lines throughout that don't connect to the succubus directly. Faith and morality versus loose morals, with the latter resulting in a destruction of the soul. Good vibe for a horror film, which also has its share of camp. It's got funny lines and moments too. Pre-stardom Samuel Jackson has a small role in it, and so does the bed from The Room. 5 months 3 weeks ago

This is a great black-cast horror comedy! I loved the friendship between the two leads, features a great villain, and definitely elevates itself past b-movie status with a wild script. It's a shame this is the only film James Bond III got to direct 2 years 10 months ago
