I love david coteau his films are daring and diffrent,and defintely threating to those who can't take male nudity.it seems more acceptable when girls run around naked screaming and lesbians kissing but when guys do it in film its gross and stupid.loli love your films David i will support you all the way keep up the good work. I highly recommend this film to those who like traditional 80's horror but in coteau style,the girls will defintely like these films...check it out his movies are fun and not to be taken to seriously....David if you read this or anyone that knows or works for him gives a vampire film in your style...Thank You

HOT GUYS DRIVING CARS WITH THEIR SHIRTS OFF, HOT GUYS RUBBING BLOOD AND MOTOR OIL ON OTHER GUYS CHESTS, SHIRTLESS HOT GUYS RUNNING FOR THEIR LIVES WHILE BEING CHASED BY CARS, HOT SHIRTLESS GUYS JOINING HANDS IN SATANIC RITUALS, NEED I SAY MORE. THIS MOVIE HAS TO GET TO THE CASTRO THEATRE IN SAN FRANCISCO AND IT WILL BECOME A CULT CLASSIC!! THE PLOT, OH YEA THE PLOT. WELL JESSE (COLLIN STARK) COMES BACK FROM COLLEGE AND FINDS THE SHIRTLESS HUNKS ALL WORKING ON CARS AND ATTENDING SATANIC RITUALS, WHILE THE TOKEN GIRL WHO SORTA LOOKS LIKE BUFFY HANGS OUT WITH THEM. THE MURDERS BEGIN AND THE ONLY LINK IS THAT ALL THE GUYS ARE SHIRTLESS AND RUN OVER BY A CAR DRIVEN BY THE SPEED DEMON.

I first saw "Leeches" and then "Speed Demon". After seeing the first film, I knew damn well that the second one wasn't going to be any better. What I did enjoy seeing was the beefy young men that graced the screen in both films. It made me almost forget the lousy plot lines and horrible acting. I was especially impressed with Jared Edwards, the actor who looks like a dark haired version of model/actor Travis Fimmel (Tarzan). In fact, I thought it was Travis until I saw the closing credits. Collin Stark is also enjoyable to look at. To cut this review short, if you are looking for "Speed Demon" to be an action packed and suspenseful movie, then you'll be disappointed. If you are tuning in to see some hot bodies in little clothing, then you'll be pleased as punch. I gave this movie a 3 star rating just for that.

This very homoerotic is suprisingly good. It does have a story that does keep you watching the movie as well as plenty of good looking eye candy. Very recommended.

Like any David Decoteau Movie......there are plenty of good looking guys running around in tight boxer briefs for no apparent reason except for the viewer to see.

There is at least a small story line here, but it is so predictable that you know exactly what is going to happen. There is also some good gore which is what most people are looking for in a horror movie, but this one is not scary.

Turn done the sound...and just watch the eye candy

Where to begin?

Simply, this movie was terrible! For one, the very, very bad acting. Jesse (the good guy) felt stiff and fake. In the beginning of the movie, his brother's car blows up while he is in it, and Jesse, while witnessing this, just looks on for several seconds, casually brushes his hair back, then finally starts screaming for his brother. Come on!

Otto, the bad guy, was monotone throughout 99 percent of the movie! Even when he is angry, he keeps the same vocal tone, like when he started yelling at his girlfriend, Natalie. Show some emotion in your voice!

And you wouldn't believe the death scenes! One guy gets run over by a car, but he just drops to the ground by the side of the car while it is driving past! It shows him in pain from being run over, but when the killer goes to retrieve him, there isn't any blood, bodily injury, or even tire marks on his body. AND YOU SEE THE GUY BREATHING!

The plot was also terrible. Otto keeps on talking about racing and how he has his speed demon (a medallion with a demon head on it) to help him go faster to win races, and throughout the movie, he keeps boasting about how he's the fastest, but there is only the one race scene that Mike, Jesse's brother, races in before he dies, and the race looked terrible. The cars were going 30mph! And there are not any races after that. I'm not a big fan of car and racing movies, but after watching this, I'm starting to think that 'The Fast and the Furious' was a good movie!

Do not watch this terrible movie. Bad acting, bad plot, even bad music! I even got a headache from watching this movie!

I have seen almost all of David Decocteaus films, and I am a huge fan of The Brotherhood Trilogy, Voodoo Academy, and The Frightening. However, his last 3 releases have been huge disappointments. Lacking all the pieces that made his first films so campy and enjoyable. His films starting with Leeches have gotten worse and worse. His latest is Speed Demon. His so called version of The Fast and the Furious with some horror, and barley clad men thrown in there. The plot is rediclulous. The acting atrocious. The charaters names are hysterical! Clutch, Wiper, all different parts of a car. The plot goes nowwhere, and the film goes along so slowly that you don't even care who the killer is. Let me tell you,there is a twist, but its pretty obvious who it is, if you can pay attention long enough. Fans of David Decocteau may find this film enjoyable, especially for the beefy men in their underwear, but they certainly won't make one of their favorites.

The key to enjoying this movie is to treat it as a comedy. It actually is very successful at evoking the campy silliness of many 70's low-budget "horror" films. This is a great movie to watch when you and your friends all want to do commentary like on Mystery Science Theater 3000.

i just love about all david's movies. this had a little better story and
some very good/gorgeous eye candy for viewers.

If you've watched director David DeCoteau's previous movies (The Brotherhood series, The Frightening, Leeches), then you pretty much know what to expect:
1) buff young studs running around in their underwear for no apparent reason
2) slomo sequences that are so dull and repetitious, and used mainly to add minutes to the movie;
3) plots with holes the size of the Grand Canyon;
4) lots of bad acting;
5) awful music of any genre.
SPEED DEMON is no exception, although this is one of his less entertaining films. The others at least had some modicum of suspense and/or horror. This movie has no suspense, no horror, no real gore, no sex scenes (unless you count the numerous times the boys spread some kind of blood all over their buff chests. DeCoteau is obviously a director who caters to his alternative lifestyle audience, and while I have no real problem with this, he should at least make the movie a lot more interesting than this dull dud. The identity of the speed demon is so hilarious, it defies belief.
