Review of Hunk

Hunk (1987)
3/10
Not as bad as some people have said - but not worth watching.

Warning: Spoilers
This is just another "Not very good movie".

The premise is as old as the hills. Unsucsessful lonely person sells their soul to the devil for short term gain. There are a couple of nice twists given to this idea in this movie: The "demon" recruiting the lost soul has a contract of her own to deal with the devil, the Black Magic Miranda Rights gag ("If you cannot afford an exorcist one will be appointed for you...") was almost funny, and the idea that, since history is doomed to repeat itself, the devil was always busy doing evil that had already happened is not bad. It's just all so flatly written and acted that the movie is just, well, dull.

And how Labor Day (celebrated on the first Monday in September) can fall on Hitler's birthday (April 20th) is a mystery - but then the Devil said it was Hitler's birthday so maybe he was lying.

Not as bad as some people have said - but not worth watching.
