The Devil's Left Hand

This movie has porno level production value. The sound has that tin can echo and a lot of scenes are over saturated. The script isn't that good and the acting isn't much but the story is interesting enough. So if you can put the quality aside, it's worth a watch if you like the genre

It hits all of the beats. The characters aren't very fleshed out but there is enough to understand what is going on.

Confused mediums is an interesting approach compared to the common all knowing wise person stereotypes most movies use.

The characters also don't always react in the same stereotypical ways. For example, seeing something in a mirror doesn't lead to the immediate turn around to an empty room.

Right, well I had never heard about this 2023 horror movie titled "The Devil's Left Hand" prior to stumbling upon it by random chance here in 2023. And with it being a horror movie that I had not heard about nor seen, then of course I opted to sit down and watch it, as I love horror movies.

And I figured that since the movie had scored a 6.3 rating here on IMDb, when I sat down to watch it, then it seemed like I would be in for a fair enough horror movie experience. Little did I know just how wrong I would be proven.

Writer and director Harley Wallen delivered a rather lukewarm horror movie here. The script, storyline and narrative in the movie felt amazingly random, generally lacking a red thread throughout the course of the narrative. It felt and looked like writer and director Harley Wallen was just making things up on the fly as the filming of the movie progressed.

The acting performances in "The Devil's Left Hand" were fair enough. Nothing outstanding or great, though. But the actors and actresses on the cast list did well enough, given the limitations imposed upon them by the script - or lack thereof.

Something that did work in favor of "The Devil's Left Hand" was the special effects. Not that it was mind-blowing special effects that will knock your feet away from under you or anything. But taking into consideration the level of production and the amateurish feel that the movie had to it, then the special effects were actually fair.

For a horror movie then "The Devil's Left Hand" was a swing and a miss. Nothing scary about it throughout the course of the 98 minutes that the movie ran for. Again, things were just too random and inconsistent to have a proper build up for a scare effect.

My rating of "The Devil's Left Hand" lands on a three out of ten stars.

This movie was terrible. I created an IMDB account just to save someone else from wasting one hour and 38 minutes of their lives like I just did. The plot is bad, the acting is bad, the script is bad, the editing is bad... this movie felt way longer than only 1:38. I checked a couple review sites beforehand and it was rated pretty highly but I don't thinkink these people watched the same movie I just did. I kept hoping for some big twist at the end but that didn't happen either. The most entertaining part was probably how the medium's accent changed with every scene. Otherwise... DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME.

Kept scratching my head after I started viewing this stinker, knowing I'd seen it before but couldn't locate my record of it. Looked it up here on imdb, clicked one of the actor's links, and voila! Turns out it was released in 2019 under the title Agramon's Gate. There's a discrepancy in the listed run-times, but I assure you it's the same lame film. Same lame cast, same lame direction, same lame dialogue (the primary couple refer to each other as "babe" so many times it's hard to remember their actual character names!) In more capable hands, the story might've been made interesting, but as is, it's decidedly not. The poor excuse for an ending seems like a set-up for a sequel, to which I can say only please God, no!

If you like suspense, mystery, spooky and creepy mind games then I think you'll enjoy this. I saw Ash & Bone and I guess I kind of expected something similar and I'd say the only things similar was quality camera work., good acting and story and the music was really good! I'm not a fan at how much horror has changed to gross and disturbing effects with ridiculous kill counts has become the trend and so much is now completely void of a coherent story, intrigue and characters you actually care about.. it's a rare breeze of fresh air on what's lately been a stagnant pond of horror. Pro-tip: I saw it on Redbox incase you want to see it "free" since it's not free elsewhere.
