Shame the Devil

The acting wasnt bad. The first half of the film wasnt bad. But then zzzzz nothing. And then finally you think, "really"?

Poor script, weak and inexperienced acting, unforgivable direction skills....the list goes on....the cameraman managed to shoot it in focus but the weird inserts during a poor edit did little to save this awful production. I'm sure someone, somewhere would have gained from this dire movie...except of course us. How on earth did they manage to raise the three million dollars to make this? It uses techniques from other more successful films to give it a big budget feel a d fails at every level. Its a great pity that a British film made in 2013 avoided using experienced people, what a shocking waste of an opportunity to do something memorable.

The worst film ever made. Awful acting, and even worse plot. The first 6 minutes are OK-then you are plunged into a tortuous display of poor poor acting of the poorest type & omg the continuity issues too!!! I reckon real actors weren't interested in this film-neither were 2nd rate actors-neither were 3rd rate actors like ex EastEnders & I'm a celebrity get me out of here losers. To the director-you should be ashamed of yourself-please hang your head in shame-shame on you! It says on the front of the DVD -British version of Saw-i'd say Appalling British version of Saw! I'm only telling the truth...to shame the devil. Don't waste 90 minutes of your life on this.

While the setup can keep an attention span engaged for the first half of the film, it is the latter half where the script rides off the rails with improbable plot devices like poisons, antidotes, and polygraph-triggered lock boxes. Like many fictional serial killers, the maniac of "Shame the Devil" has a diabolical plan so ludicrous that even the detective and the profiler cannot pinpoint if he is killing violators of the Ten Commandments, men with the first names of Jesus' apostles, or following some other whacked out methodology entirely. Looking back on it when all is revealed, you realize that it is the most ridiculously overcomplicated scheme ever devised to accomplish what the objective ultimately is.

This movie was so boring and stupid that it hardly deserves two stars. But since it was a notch better than Agent Jade Black and The Turning, it gets two stars. Deep down, I'm embarrassed about it.
