Billy Drago stars as Asmodeus. Basically he is playing the same character he did on Charmed only now he surrounds himself with more naked women. Drago chews up scenery as a slimy bad guy like no one else save for maybe Eric Roberts.
Tania Deighton plays his succubus lieutenant. She has the look, but I can't tell if her fake fangs make it hard for her to talk or if she is just a bad actress. Her succubus looks really cool. The wings were a nice touch. Yes, she is also featured on the Succubus.net website.
The movie though is predictable, even to the "surprise" ending. But it has some good moments.
This movie has me curious though. Here Asmodeus is played as the Demon of Lust as he is depicted in many older texts and not so much as the King of Hell. I wonder why Gary picked him as the ruler of hell and devils in D&D? Was it because of him being described as the King of Hell in some books? Curious. The classic "Politics of Hell" notwithstanding I am curious about his rise over other names like Baalzebul or even Mephistopheles.
