DEF BY TEMPTATION (1990) starring Samuel L Jackson, Bill Nunn, Kadeem Harrison

[Reggie]

Hood classic before the term was even invented i believe. This movie had me scared when I saw it as a pre-teen. Will probably give it a look soon to see how well it has aged.

 

[Dr. Narcisse]

I'm surprised brehs here remembered it.

EDIT: The full movie

Saw something online about how this movie really influenced Jennifer's Body. At least according to the writer.

IIRC, I'm pretty sure one of her victims in this film, was some black guy that was in the closet gay and she wasn't liking his pipe game none, seemingly bored with it, so then she took over and started fukking him till she literally fukked him to death, with him spewing blood out of his mouth and shyt.
My expression of this moment as a kid watching:

My expression now thinking of it.....the same.

Yeah, she knew he could not perform because he was living a lie within himself, so she decided to give him what he REALLY wanted.

Also, she actually killed him by slashing him to death.

When Temptress gave Norman the "Apartment In Downtown Square" to bring home to his wife

And his pockets were also at the bar

“Girl you got a nuclear butt, you know that? You got one of them explosive booties”

He must have been practicing that nut-ass pickup line, because he was talking to HIMSELF.

Saw this years ago on YouTube when Troma had a ton of their movies up for free. Dope flick. I believe it’s up on Shudder now
