Decadent Evil (known by the slightly reworked title of Decadent Evil Dead in the UK) is a 2005 vampire film, produced and directed by Charles Band under his Wizard Entertainment banner, released on June 25.[1] The film was shot in and around Los Angeles, California.[2]

The films stars Phil Fondacaro, Debra Mayer, Jill Michelle, Daniel Lennox, Hazel Dean and Raelyn Hennessee. Porn actress Harmony Rose has a small role as a hooker.

A fallen foot tall Homunculus called Marvin (a part human/part reptile creature) is imprisoned in a birdcage by a vengeful lover who is bidding to become the world's most powerful vampire.

Footage from Vampire Journals (a spin off from the Subspecies franchise) is used at the beginning of the movie to explain how Morella, the vampire Queen, left her bloodline behind in Europe. The movie ends with Morella transformed into a Homunculus and having sex in the cage with Marvin.
