Teen Lust is a 2014 Canadian comedy film directed by Blaine Thurier. The film had its world premiere on 10 September 2014 at the Toronto International Film Festival and stars Kristin Bauer van Straten, Cary Elwes, and Jesse Carere.
High school student Neil (Jesse Carere) has vowed to remain celibate due to his religious beliefs, as his church wants him to be part of a religious ceremony that requires him to be a virgin. Neil is unaware that his church, which practices Satanism, is planning to sacrifice him to Satan in order to prevent 1000 years of peace on Earth. Once Neil becomes aware of this plan, he and his best friend Matt (Daryl Sabara) make plans to find a woman to take Neil's virginity and thus save him from certain death.
The Hollywood Reporter panned Teen Lust, writing that it was "Uneven as a straightforward comedy and never pointed enough as a send-up of religion or sexuality."Fangoria was more positive in their review and gave the film two and a half out of four skulls, as they felt that the movie did have "a few big laughs and a great premise" and that "It might be a missed opportunity, but at least it’s not a blown one."
