Faust: Love of the Damned is an american-spanish R-rated 2001 horror/gore film directed by Brian Yuzna. It is based on the comic book of the same name by Tim Vigil and David Quinn. Vigil claims that the idea of Todd MacFarlane's Spawn was based on ideas first introduced in Faust.

The film, which was the first to be produced by the Filmax's Fantastic Factory label, won the award for Best Special Effects at the 2000 Catalonian International Film Festival in Sitges, Spain.^[1]

[edit] Synopsis

An artist, John Jaspers (Mark Frost) sells his soul to the mysterious M (as for Mephistopheles) (Andrew Divoff) in order to avenge the death of his girlfriend. However, the deal has an unexpected price, and he is periodically transformed into a horned demon with a passion for killing. He discovers that M plans to release a giant monster called the Homunculus, thereby opening the gates of Hell, and sets out to stop him.^[2]

The comic is famous for striking images of a girl with two toned hair driving her fingernails into a man's eyeballs.
