Def by Temptation • 1h 35m
Directed by James Bond III • 1990 • United States
Starring Cynthia Bond, James Bond III, Kadeem Hardison
The sole film directed by writer-producer-star James Bond III is part buddy comedy, part stylish, neon-soaked horror fever dream in which two childhood friends (Bond and Kadeem Hardison) reunite in New York only to find themselves tangling with a seductive, man-eating succubus (Cynthia Bond). Among the pleasures of this unsung ’90s gem: atmospheric cinematography by Ernest R. Dickerson, an early performance from Samuel L. Jackson, and a memorable bit of grisly business involving a demonic Ronald Reagan and a killer TV.
