Editorial Review:
In one of his earliest pre-Pulp Fiction performances, Samuel L. Jackson helps face off against a supernatural menace to society in this theatrical sleeper hit shot on colorfully vivid 35mm. A sexy female succubus is hell-bent on destroying Joel (A DIFFERENT WORLD’s Kadeem Hardison), a young divinity student, through her powers of seduction. One by one, Joel's friends fall victim to her charms, leaving Joel to face the temptress...and his destiny...alone. Bill Nunn (DO THE RIGHT THING) also stars in this terrifying story of vampires and lust. Featuring star power, lavish production values and smoking urban locales, Def By Temptation showcases the brightest young black cast and crew in a thoughtfully frightening horror extravaganza.
Description of Def by Temptation:
There's a succubus--a female vampire with a disturbingly sexual modus operandi--thinning out the male singles-bar population in New York, and it's up to a young Southern divinity student and his friends to stop her from continuing to act upon her hellish urges. A funky urban nightmare from quadruple-threat newcomer James Bond III (actor, producer, writer, and director), this self-assured debut is notable for being the first all-black horror film in quite some time. One of the few films of merit to be released by the notoriously low-rent Troma Studios (home of The Toxic Avenger, Surf Nazis Must Die, and many others), it's a provocative and scary movie with a professionalism that belies the obviously minuscule budget. The exquisite cinematography is by Spike Lee regular Ernest Dickerson. --Andrew Wright

Awesom services rendered 
2009-04-04 - The product was reviewed timley and no there were no flaws. I would totally purchase from this vendor again.
You men out there,don't date this woman at all
2009-02-10 - She's a vampire and a whore who want you men for dinner.Every man she takes home with her,she sleeping with them and kills them;even married men.And the part that I didn't like is when k got swallowed into television and then vomited him back his blood and guts,and that's disgusting and sick.If I were a man,I wouldn't go anywhere with her at all.Thanks to a bartender by putting holy water in her drink and k and dougy tries to kill her by stab her in her heart.At the end joel kill temptress with a cross and a bible.So all you men,beware because she'll steal your soul away.
very good
2008-12-09 - i thought the movie was great i thought cythia bonds did her thing, i wish she could have been in more things beacause she did her part very well in that movie i think she played in one other thing after def by temptation and that was the heat of the night after that she was never seen again.
Black Movie Classic
2008-07-29 - A throwback to the 70's black film genre'. It's a good low budget, thought provoking movie that mirrors even today's life style. The acting is adequate and although the special effects are not a threat to ILM, they are good enough to get the story line across. This one is going into my collection of classic black films.
