Diavlo

Good acting.. good filming good dialogue

but dont waste your time.... nothing important happens till the end, and even that is weak. Entire movie could have been done in 15 minutes.

The movie is never able to create a horror context so instead They use easy horror as jumpscares, this movie is definitely terrible I simply left the theater by the hour I don't recommend this trash.

By a novise in the craftmanship called filmaking , then this is a wonderful clash of many different generics, but most of all its a holocene horror flick and a psychological thriller, that goes wild in the house in the woods and squanders into some syntax errors here and there, but sentimentalism is all blown away, the triggerpoints of adrenaline rush are like a hipster on times square, the musical score is a great part of the script and vice versa, the filmography dilligent and vaudevillish like, and the use of light and dark are on the artistical high plains.

Though the story aint large on word, its complexity of the spiritual level is monstrous, we are talking about the devil and the devils daughter here after all, and the casting crew has found some fresh brunette for the lead role, a brunette that the grumpy old man wants to see more from, her voluptousness is just staggering and 10 wild horses couldnt have held him back if 50 years younger. The worst part of all , she knows how to act...

it seems to me that the production crew is basicly colombian, though all spoken words are in the english language, and no typical south american aka latinos were present in the castline, weird if you ask me. But all in all its a dreamy horror fairytail that you will enjoy while watching, what comes afterwards, do tingle your analytical fantasy. Cause its a film without a clear answer, but all the questions are brilliantly made and presented. So go for it, its a visually well made film, and therefore a recommend.

Slow paced, odds and ends scattered without and could do with some sort of.... something else.

I've got 15 minutes left. So shoot me for reviewing quickly. But.... If it had been a low budget maybe, if you're lucky, 3 part series, you might have gotten away with the appalling thing as a whole.

The storyline is misshapen, odd and I suppose in a way generic.

The overall delivery of the storyline is poor and at best will make you laugh.

It could have been good as a theory, unfortunately the delivery was a super let down.

I'm not commenting on the acting per say but the way in which it was thought to be portrayed to the audience was...bland confusing and dull.

I've had more fun with a blank puzzle.

Just because a movie has an interesting title doesn't mean that the movie itself will be interesting. And that was the case with the 2021 horror movie "Diavlo" (aka "The Devil's Child").

I was fortunate enough to stumble upon this horror movie from writer and director David Bohorquez by random luck, and with it being a new horror movie that I hadn't already seen, of course I opted to take the time to sit down and watch it, even without knowing what the movie was about.

And while I managed to endure the entire ordeal to the end, then "Diavlo" just offered very little entertainment to me, and it was very difficult to get submerged into the rather mundane and boring storyline as it was just so unfathomably slow paced. Actually, the storyline was lacking interesting elements to it, so it was a struggle to get through this 2021 horror movie.

Visually then there were definitely some interesting aspects to "Diavlo", but it wasn't never anything that managed to more than just poke at the embers. A shame really, because the movie would have benefitted tremendously if it had more contents visually and story-wise.

The acting in "Diavlo" were adequate, but the actors and actresses were rather hindered by an inferior script and a bland character gallery. So they were fighting a somewhat uphill battle.

For a horror movie then "Diavlo" was just not outstanding or memorable, and it was a movie that came and went without as much as a groan or a bite. And this movie will slowly fade into the mists of oblivion and never come back out for a second viewing.

My rating of "Diavlo" lands on a generous three out of ten stars.
