Fin is a criminal on the run, wanted for the murder of his boss and the accidental shooting of an officer. He breaks into the home of a high -- class escort, only to discover that you get more than you bargain for with VAL, short for "Valefar" -- a demon who offers to make all his problems disappear if he agrees to follow her rules. But in Val's world there are no accidents, and as Fin meets her other "customers", he learns that Val was expecting him all along, and it isn't easy to escape Val's dungeon.

Val is a great idea in search of a narrative that maintains momentum all the way through, but it’s still a hell of a lot of fun...The real draw, though, is Misha Reeves as the titular Duchess of Hell.

[Val] might have benefited from being a short or part of a Tales from the Crypt-style anthology. There's talent on display here, but it's largely wasted on a wisp of an idea.

Seductively entertaining, Val is a real love-letter to the works of Tim Burton and Sam Raimi, wearing it's weird heart on it's immaculately put together sleeve with pride.

Rated: 4/5

An outstanding performance from Misha Reeves carries this fun horror comedy. Begins to run out of steam towards the end, but remains watchable the entire time.

Reeves is so charming and seductive that she mostly compensates for the weak writing.

After watching the excellent “Beezel” (directed by Aaron Fradkin and written by him and his wife Victoria Fritz Fradkin, who also starred) I ran to this film. It’s not as good as I had hoped. Misha Reeves is fantastic and a lot of fun to watch but the story runs out of steam and begins to drag. Overall it’s just ok. But you can also see a huge leap in Fradkin’s filmmaking from this movie to “Beezel”. Can’t wait to see what’s next.

Wow, surprisingly great movie. Misha killed it as Val. On my watch list for a while, glad I finally checked it out.

Great Visuals, a fun romp! The plot was a bit thin, but I loved Misha Reeves performance.
