Kaz (Scott Valentine) is a homeless man who's always trying to get in good with the ladies. Turning into a demon whenever he gets sexually arouse makes his attempt to get laid quite hard. Denny (Michelle Little) is trying her hardest to get a man in her life and start a relationship. But the only men she's attracted to turn out to be jerks. Her recent boyfriend Chip just broke up with her and decided to take all of her valuables with him. Some odd days after, she runs into Kaz while she's eating outside of a diner. He begs her for food, then spits it all over her when he finds out what it is.

As an angry Denny starts to head home, Kaz follows her and annoys her greatly. She eventually gets rid of him. A couple nights later, she goes out to a bar with her friend Sonia. One of the guys they see at the bar all the time, Charles, confronts Denny and tries to get a date with her. Denny agrees and Sonia trys to talk her out of it by showing her how much of a dork he is. She doesn't care as she starts to walk home by herself. She gets stopped by her ex-boyfriend Chip. He thinks she called the cops on him. While screaming for help and trying to get away, Kaz comes to her rescue.

He ends up staying the night at her place. In the morning, the two of them go out together. They visit all sorts of places, basically just out to have a good time. While walking by a large street market, Denny stops to look at some things. Meanwhile, Kaz spots a psychic named Fixer. He just to get the lowdown on why he turns into a demon when he gets horny. Looking into Fixer's crystal ball, Kaz sees himself at a younger age, making out with some girl. Her grandmother walks in on the two and the grandmother puts a curse on him. A curse that Fixer called the Romanian Blue Balls curse.

Fixer tells him the only way to get rid of the curse is to do something noble, but the catch is that the demon will jump out of his body and go into the person he's the closest to. When Kaz tells Denny about his possession, she doesn't believe him. He tells her to start kissing him so that he can prove it. They start getting into it quite a bit and he eventually turns into a demon. She of course flips out and he takes off by heading out of the window. He comes back to her the next day and they head to the bar to talk things over.

While all of this is going on with the two of them, there's a killer running around the town the people are calling the Mangler. Kaz thinks he's the Mangler the whole time because whenever he goes to sleep, he remembers nothing in the morning and has a funny taste in his mouth, like blood. When he breaks the news to her at the bar, she again doesn't believe him. She decides to see if it's the truth by having sex with him after he's completely turned into a demon. Before they could get out of the bar to try it out, Sonia and Charles come and sit at their table. Sonia has a vision that Kaz is the Mangler and then starts up a plan of her own. Which is to kill him.

Before Sonia can say anything, Denny and Kaz make their way to her place to go through with the plan. When he changes into the demon, they continue to go at it and all sorts of things start flying around, the walls begin to shake, droors start coming out of the tables. Kaz then begins to chase after Denny but quickly stops as he rams his head into the wall. His head sinks into his neck and he pulls it out, revealing one of Denny's old dates. "The date that wouldn't leave" as she called him. While searching through her kitchen, he turns into an old lady that starts nagging Denny about getting married.

Denny gets quite angry and smashes the old lady's head against the wall, making it explode into a dark yellow mush. After a while of sitting on the floor headless, a cloud of smoke fills the room as Kaz turns back into his normal self. He didn't try to kill her so that proves that he can't be the Mangler. Sonia didn't see as much happen, so she's still out to kill Kaz. She called Denny, telling her to come over because she's in trouble. While Charles is down stairs, he grabs Denny and Sonia sneaks into her apartment to kill Kaz. He couldn't convince Sonia that he wasn't the demon and they both end up on top of Charles' car. One can only watch to figure out the ending.

Typical 80's comedic horror film, for the most part anyway. Can't say I've seen too many where the main character turns into a monster when he gets horny. Quite the original plot, but the way the storyline was written makes it an average film. Something bad happens to a guy, he falls in love, the woman helps him get rid of the problem. The script was quite corny due to the bland jokes that were written for it. Like once when Kaz was trying to get a date with some lady. He asks her "how about some coffee" suggesting that they go out and get coffee together. Instead she digs in her purse and pulls out some change to give him. Or when Kaz tries to break through a door by running into it and one of the guys he's next to saying "it's locked."

The different phases of demons Kaz had were very awesome looking. Along with another one that makes his appearance at the end of the film. The part where Kaz starts changing into other people was by far the best in the movie. The way the whole scene takes place was very well put together. Especially when Denny made the old lady's head explode. For being a film that revolves around sex, the closest thing to nudity was a couple shots down Sonia's shirt, and even that was only cleavage. For an 80's movie, I was expecting boobs to be flying every which way. Didn't bring down the movie any, as it never does.

Final Conclusion: 7/10
