      John Triton: [losing his patience] You're wasting my time, bub.

      Demon: This is incredible! It is almost no fun to kill one so stupid as to not know who it is that slays him! You are in my domain, and I will kill you as I have killed your pitiful friends!

      John Triton: [annoyed] Aw, you killed no one, bub!

      Demon: WHAAAT?

      John Triton: Or is it less familiar to call you Beelzebub? Or do you prefer Abaddon; or as the Hindus called you, Shaitan; or as you are known to answer to, Ahriman? Belial? Apollyon? Asmodeus? Because, you see... I *do* know you.

    Amusing daftness
    Whatever the makers of this film were taking, its most certainly strong! A rock band, led by metal muscleman John Mikl Thor, go to an old farmhouse/recording studio to record their next album away from any distractions (So why'd they take their girlfriends?). The farmhouse was the scene of some grisly murders a year ago, and the evil has awoken (Probably by the bad rock music!). It begins to pick them off one by one, until the final confrontation between Thor and the Devil himself.

    This is a severly daft movie, featuring some really bad actors, some ludicrous monsters (Rubber starfish, penis monsters?), loads of sex and terribly hilarious rock music. Well worth checking out, if only to see Thor belting the snot out of a huge rubber Devil.
