SYNOPSIS: Adam is the biggest douchebag in human history. His dad, a former fighter pilot turned millionaire defense contractor, wants him to join the Air Force and follow in his footsteps. Adam, though, just wants to live in his mansion and secretly videotape himself and his friends having one-night stands with vapid gold-diggers behind the back of his equally vapid, gold-digging girlfriend, Heather. Not that dad is any prize, either; he's emotionally unavailable, terminally busy running his business and banging his secretary, and only shows up in his son's life for father-son dogfights in dad's jet trainers under the watchful eye of flight instructor Lorenzo Lamas. This movie seems dedicated to ensuring that the audience doesn't feel even the slightest bit bad when the characters start to get killed off.

After beating dad in a dogfight, Adam wins the use of dad's private jet for a weekend and decides to fly to Cancun with his best friend Jason, where they can pick up vapid, gold-digging spring breakers and secretly videotape themselves having sex with them in hotel rooms. This works out pretty well for Jason, but Adam has the misfortune to pick up Lilith, a smoking-hot girl whose day job just happens to be succubus. They have wild sex, Adam loses only a little of what passes for his soul, and the boys fly back to LA just in time for Adam to get lectured by his dad about what a disappointment he is.

That out of the way, it's time to head home for a wild night with Heather. Unfortunately, she's not quite vapid enough to not notice that his body is covered with scratches from his night with Lilith, so she gets pissed and flounces out. Of course, there's only one possible answer to that -- mansion party! But just as a pair of vapid, gold-digging sisters are about to get unlucky with Adam, Lilith crashes the party and kicks out the girls in favor of more bruising, soul-sucking sex with her.

After the party, Heather returns, ready to make up. They do, then Heather decides to go for a swim in the outdoor pool, to make it more convenient for Lilith to kill her. The cops come to try to arrest Adam for Heather's murder, but dad provides a fancy lawyer, a phone call to the mayor, and a stern lecture on responsibility. Meanwhile, Heather's body is hauled off to the morgue, after the necrophiliac ambulance driver molests it a little. Did I mention that *everybody* in this movie is completely awful?

The next day, Adam decides to work out some of his frustrations with a little jet fighter training. While he's out at the practice range, Lilith shows up at the airport and hires Lorenzo Lamas to take her up in the other trainer. Once they get to the range, she knocks out Lorenzo and proceeds to kick Adam's ass so badly in air-to-air combat that he crashes his fighter and barely manages to bail out in time. Crashing dad's multi-million dollar jet fighter turns out to be the one thing Adam does in this movie that *doesn't* piss his father off.

That night, Adam decides to forget about his girl problems by taking Jason and going out clubbing. Of course, Lilith shows up at the club and kills Jason and the girl Adam was talking to. Frustrated, Adam goes home to relive better days by watching old sex tapes. But they've all been overwritten with Lilith's face. She's even gotten to his porn!

While looking up the succubus's MySpace profile, Adam sees a pop-up ad for a freelance demon hunter and decides to give him a call. Even after twenty years of doing the Smithees, I still can't believe I just typed that sentence.

The demon hunter is Gary Busey, who's about what you'd expect from a demon hunter who advertises through MySpace pop-up ads. He tells Adam how to summon the succubus, how to draw a magic circle to protect himself from her, and how to use garlic and holy water to repel her. He notes that the best way to kill her is with a sword, but he only has one and he's not giving it up. However, he does provide a crossbow with silver-tipped quarrels, which should be an adequate substitute. Then he drives off in his pimped-out demon-hunter truck, having secured top billing in this movie by being in one scene.

Following Gary's directions, Adam summons the succubus, which sounds impressive if you forget that she's been stalking him and lurking outside his mansion all movie. She eats the garlic, shrugs off the holy water, catches the silver-tipped quarrel with her bare hands, and draws a smiley face in the protective circle. Seriously people, whatever supernatural problem you're having, do NOT hire a demon hunter you found through a pop-up ad on MySpace.

Fortunately, the mansion's tasteless modern douchebag decor includes a sword, which Adam eventually stumbles into and impales Lilith with. Unfortunately, even dad's money and influence can't fix two dead girls in Adam's mansion in three days. Adam is hauled off to jail and Lilith's body is hauled off to the morgue. Of course, first the necrophiliac ambulance driver has to unzip the body bag to take a little kiss and set up the requisite crummy ending.

Heather's Boyfriend Blows It Before She Does

Actor Character Claim to Fame
Gary Busey <Not Yet in Database> Blond, with a long, craggy face, he usually plays muscle; an alleged history of domestic violence (maybe he should change his name to Gary aBusey) 
Lorenzo Lamas <Not Yet in Database> Martial artist action figure who first made it big on soaps (like Lance Cumson on "Falcon Crest") then played TV's "Renegade." Was also Snake Eater from the films of the same name. Then degenerated to this fodder and things like Sharknado 3: Oh Hell No!
