Joseph P. Ulibas Speed Demon (2003) is about some young dude who comes back to town to take care of some old family problems. He meets some of his old friends who are involved in a weird automobile club. The problems get even weirder when he finds about about what happened to his Dad and his ties to some local mumbo-jumbo. Can the dude find out the truth behind his father's strange extracurricular activities? What kind of shenanigans is this automobile club involved in and can he spend enough time with his old lady?David DeCoteau wrote, directed and produced this film. If you know what kind of movies he makes then you'll like it. But if you're not a fan of his like me then stay away.Not recommended

ThrownMuse A college kid returns to his FastCar hometown to find that his chums have turned to the supernatural to make their wheels go faster. This movie could be seen as a parody of testosterone-fueled jokes like "The Fast and the Furious," but it is played so damn straight-forward that it is impossible to take that way. DeCoteau's genre gender play is amusing and appreciated--for the first 20 minutes, all the male characters are topless, just chillin' at the garage with their buddies, and the two female characters are fully clothed. However, his fascination with buffed 'n waxed torsos is more than a little boring. I don't understand why he just doesn't go all out and make his films gay with lots of nudity instead of making these straight-forward movies where straight male characters in their scanties rub blood all over each other. Make a real homo-horror, dammit! Nobody wants to watch this crap.

tia_bowens Okay, so this movie...certainly made me smile. For many reasons, I shall list them all.1. No one wears a shirt! Except the women. Normally when my friends and I rent cheesy horror films, it's tits tits tits tits. And there were none. Only shirtless men.2. The homo erotic scenes when the men devoted themselves to their god, or whatever. Oh my goodness, my absolute favorite part of the movie was when the guy who looks like Tarzan was smothering himself in blood with jerky, awkward movements.3. Jesse. He has got to be the hottest crappy horror movie film actor ever. Holy crap, that man..every shot of him is amazing! 4. Jesse's brother's huge nipples. Ha. Those made me giggle.5. Tarzan's nipples. They were hard all the time. Icky.6. Tarzan's sweeeeeeeet vinyl pants that he wears during the end.7. When people get run over by the car, there is absolute no blood on their body, and they still look perfect. Okay, if you get hit hard enough by a car that it knocks you out, you'd be a little bloodied, and certainly broken.8. How I guessed who the killer and was right. :) 9. The lack of acting of EVERYONE in this movie. The man who played Otto made Vin Diesel look Oscar worthy .And that ain't saying a lot. These men were simply hired because they looked hot with their shirts off, and the women were only hired because they were hot.10. How in the sex scene, the girl still had her bra on! Yay! YAY! YAY! And oh my goodness...this movie was super.

brando7604 Going in I knew how bad Decoteau was. I accidentally saw The Brotherhood and The Killer Eye. If you like bad movies, and are prepared for Decoteau's style, you will find the movies entertaining in that they are so laughable. One thing about Speed Demon, in the director's commentary he says he wanted to make a possessed car movie, which is totally not what this movie is about. Found that funny. Also, read an interview with him and he keeps producing these straight to video movies because he has made a lot of money off of distribution via blockbuster. He has a somewhat cult following. There's rarely any blood and no cursing as he said he wanted to avoid R ratings. He is openly gay and thought it would be interesting to put a homo-erotic spin on horror movies since it is usually women who are objectified. Signature Decoteau elements: usually one 4 max 5 locations; extended slow motion scenes, gratuitous crotch shots of guys in boxer briefs; very limited dialog (scripts can't be more than 4 pages long); group casts; holes in the plot; and random scenes. Film students should write a paper on his work and how bad it is. I actually kinda like the guy's stuff now, well except Wolves of Wall Street - that one was lame. :)
