The Devil Conspiracy

As it happens, I watched this preposterous B-movie immediately after one of the most recent Marvel flicks, and honestly: it turned out to be far better regarding editing, soundtrack, and screenplay - not that that's necessarily saying much.

Of course, the effects aren't on nearly the same level, but at least the filmmakers knew exactly what they were going for, and communicated their intention from the get-go. Really: I enjoyed this schlocky spectacle a whole big bunch, and Alice Orr Ewing is a star to keep an eye on, as she acts the Hell out of her role - pun obviously intended.

It's been a long time since I was able to just sit back and enjoy the overt ridiculousness of the entire Biblical spiel, and for me, it wasn't even a 'guilty pleasure' or anything - just entertaining fun.

Considering it's current score of 4.5 I thought this would be a big boring mess. Instead it's a very entertaining film with an interesting plot, some great special effects and I was never bored. This is about on the level of a well done supernatural television show, not a big budget Hollywood film, but it's enjoyable and had me wondering what was going to happen next. Not only that but I had no idea how it would end and have to admit that I'm not sure exactly how it did turn out as they seem to leave a bit of a question on that point. Different viewers are going to come away with various interpretations of the ending. Not a classic but worth watching once.

This first half of the movie was honestly really good - the concept and execution/build-up had me interested and hooked. I wanted to see more!

If the film had 'ended' there..at the half-point mark I would had given what I'd seen a solid 8/10. Much of it because of the great story/plot/concept.

But...then comes the second half....oh my... The twists and plot now changes to something very confusing, disappointing and near juvenile in writing. Such a shame this could have been a 7-8/10 rated movie for sure. Now...I'll net it down to a 6 - again, the plot is rather ingenious and the acting is really not too bad.

This movie is silly.

This movie had its moments. I thought it would be mythology focused but makes the mistake of trying to move the story through humans.

It has all your tropes and no scene really outdoes the first one.

The hand to hand combat scenes between Michael the Archangel and demons are eyerollingly boring. The main character, who you just know survives this, is likeable but everything that happens to her is so boring and predictable.

They don't do a good job of explaining the mythos or the requirements.

Idk its a semi-interesting premise that just lacks imagination in its execution. I actually clicked on the movie because I thought the imagery of Lucifer and Michael was really inventive.

It was disappointing honestly, but its not worse than other movies these days that take themselves way too seriously.

Taking hints from ROSMARIE BABY and THE PROFECY with added some genetic elements (using Christ DNA to recreate the Devil) seemed interesting; but sadly that was all. The rest of the script was very poorly made.

It is a pity; acting is not Oscar worthily but is decent.; actions scenes are not espectacular but decently filmed and some gore shots were well made. Not so much the digital effects.

I do not think it was budget issue; but the lack of imagination to finish what was originally a good idea.

In brief; do not lose you time; is not boring but not terrifying either; just a failed attempt to do something that could have been far better.
