Devil's Revenge

Absolutely woeful. How the hell anyone financed this rubbish is beyond me? Poor Bill, I'm sure he's embarrassed about being involved!

Not very well put together, cheap budget horror, that could have been so much better with a good director and a good script , it's about time William Shatner gave up now as his overacting old man portrayal did nothing for the film, the locations were unrealistic, the hunt for the relic was more like an afternoon out with the family in a theme park, though not somewhere you'd take your family with you knowing those creatures lurked in the tomb, nice to see Jeri Ryan but a shame it had to be in this shambles.

Great acting by William Shatner. I almost thought he was impersonating my dad for a minute. as always he really sells his character. Unfortunately though the director was not quite as talented and the editor even less so. Post production team gets a D. I really felt like the Director and the Editor didn't care about the final result of all of the effort that went into the rest of the movie. the director didn't spend much time writing a script, and the other actors didn't do much in the way of ad-lib, but that is neither here nor there. It could be saved, but it needs a new score and a re-edit, which i'd like to personally do, because with some modifications this movie could have actually been scary.

I thought some entertainment could've been found here, but no! An absurd script beyond stupid, poor directing, unlikable characters you don't care for, utterly cheap special effects and backwoods locations make this a complete waste of time. William Shatner was kinda funny playing the over the top soldier-dad, and it was nice to see Jeri Ryan aka Seven of Nine again. Although I like Star Trek and appreciated to see 2 of it's characters in a totally different production, there isn't anything else Devil's Revenge has to offer.

Granted, when I stumbled upon this 2019 movie titled "Devil's Revenge", I was initially intrigued. So I picked it up and saw that William Shatner was in it, and I must admit that whatever hopes I had for the movie started to dim. But still, I decided to give the movie a chance and sat down to watch it.

Turn out that my expectations of this movie not being anything grand came to be. This movie was fairly bland and actually rather mundane and pointless. The storyline was essentially to blame here, because director Jared Cohn wasn't really giving the audience much in terms of a proper script or storyline.

What did work for the movie was the special effects and the design of the demonic creatures. I liked those. But sadly they could only do so much to salvage the rest of the movie, which was somewhat of a swing and a miss.

As for the acting, well you shouldn't get your hopes up. And truth be told, it was just toe-curling to watch William Shatner in a movie such as this, holding a grenade launcher and shooting demonic creatures up close and personal with some dubious and questionable CGI effect explosions.

I managed to endure the entire movie, although I can't claim that I was entertained. And this is not a movie that I will be watching a second time.

My rating of "Devil's Revenge" is a mere three out of ten stars.
