The story follows fledgling Satanist Marcus J. Trillbury (Onyx) as he attends a once-in-a-lifetime ritual at his idol BARTOK THE GREAT'S dark mansion. Once there, Marcus meets a group of other worshippers. As the group is led by Bartok and his assistant Farrah in a series of rituals meant to "better them," it becomes clear that their intentions are more nefarious. As his new friends are losing the battle to keep their souls, a question of great destiny looms over Onyx's head: is he doomed to be a nobody or is he the only one who can defeat Bartok and save his friends from damnation?

Bowser infuses Onyx’s feature film debut with endearing quirkiness, endless ’80s/’90s influences, and horror whimsy.

When Onyx the Fortuitous works, it works remarkably well. The cast all do an admirable job, delivering some genuinely hilarious, often heartwarming performances in the face of all this absurdity.

Rated: 7.5/10

Onyx the Fortuitous and the Talisman of Souls feels like a labour of love from start to finish, even if its story isn’t as enjoyable as its individual gags.

Rated: 3.5

The performances are fun and I am kinda shocked that I did not tire of Onyx the Fortuitous, despite the character being the type to induce fatigue.
