2021's Don't Let Her In is the newest film from Full Moon and writer/director Ted Nicolaou, the tag team that gave us TerrorVision and Puppetmaster vs. Demonic Toys, plus cinematographer Howard Wexler, who gifted us Blade the Iron Cross. Richard Bland (Re-Animator) did the score.
In this horror-erotica feature, simply-pretty plain-Jane blonde Amber (Kelly Curran) and her soon-to-be rock star boyfriend, Ben (Cole Pendery) decide to rent out a room in their artists' loft to bring in some extra money. Along comes a vivacious woman in black, Serena (Lorin Doctor), who oozes sexuality. She makes occult bowls she sells for a living ... and Amber finds one in her underwear drawer.
Serena makes quick work of their faithful relationship, seducing Ben into the best sex he's ever had right next to Amber as she sleeps, then morphing into a demon face at the climax, then waiting for Ben to travel on tour, for he's on his way to rock stardom because of her spells. She also makes Amber green shakes Minnie Castavetly. Once Ben's gone, here comes the brief, cheap thrill of a lesbian encounter that gives Amber the best orgasm she's ever had, then Serena turns demon-faced at the end, which, ironically, doesn't panic the couple.
It's not long before Serena figures out Amber's pregnant--by Ben, not Serena--and Amber soon finds out Serena's up to no good, for she's bellowing satanic chants in her room. In truth, she wants to hurt the baby.
A mysterious long-haired dude in black shows up named Elias (Austin James Parker) outside the loft, demanding something be returned to him. He just happens to be Serena's ex-boyfriend, and he wants that demon sculpture Serena's got, which is why she's possessed.
I was sure this film was going to be about a succubus, and the watered-down softcore porn and the briefness of the movie turned me off. It didn't suck, but it didn't blow me away, either. I felt the sex scenes could've been longer and more hardcore (it's not a porno), and it should've been a two-hour film ... about a succubus.
But that's just me. Maybe others will like it, so it's with a look. Enjoy!
