content: Just wanted to correct some false information regarding this. As I am (or was) a comic book nerd, I noticed the error in some of these reviews citing Tim Vigil as the writer of the story. Tim Vigil was the artist who helped create Faust, with David Quinn, who wrote the book, and the screenplay to this movie.With that said, this flick was horrendously bad. Being familiar with the comic book's excessive gore, sex, and mysticism, the movie came off as a pathetically sugar-coated version of the extremist stand the book took. Watered down and held down by a mediocre budget, this movie is bad in almost all possible ways. Jeffrey Combs should have stayed out of this one, as I normally like his work.Avoid this film at all costs. I knew it was trouble when I found out the film was going to be rated "R." To truly create Faust on the big screen, at least an "NC-17" was necessary, if not an "unrated."
