The Devil's Tail

I'm glad I gave this a chance. The synopsis serves it no justice as many have pointed out this is an anthology with no wrap around storylines. I like anthologies because even though the acting and budget may be low the plots can be unique. I can see how each one could be extended (like one already has been). Reformed could be an interesting movie. Although it did well as a short. The exception would be What Metal Chicks Like. Lol that was good but no expansion could be made. They proved their point. The title story we have seem before but I thought it was good despite the one nurse acting like a complete weirdo. I liked it. This my 6.

The 1st scene was great,I thought this was setting the tone for the entire Movie. BEWARE<NOOO,,It was different vignettes,After the first 6 minutes this became UNWATCHABLE!! Totally ridiculous,what was that thingy on the floor! Listen friends, I have been trained for 50 years to critique Movies,STAY away from this ABOMINATION!! I was actually embarassed for who ever filmed this JUNK!! OH I watched 15 minutes of this for free on a channel we all love. I was actually shocked to find it. But even FREE I turned it off. The older gent in the 1st 6 minutes was awesome after that bathroom scene, TURN IT OFF!!

This is an anthology, and while it seems to try and have a wrap-around story, that wrap around in no way ties them together and is in itself just another short film in the anthology. The most unfortunate part is that the wrapper story is the only one worth watching, and it's split up by several much worse stories. Actually, the stories may not be all that bad, but they make very little sense - it's like they chopped off the last 5 minutes of each one. I suppose the one with the metal girls actually does have an ending, but that's the only one. Honestly, if you're reading this review to decide whether or not to watch the movie, then I recommend you find another one to watch.

If I had known this would have been an "anthology," I definitely would have skipped. The only decent stories make up so little of the run time, most of them have no point. They don't really delve into what's happening or give any reason as to why. The stories have no correlation and majority of the characters are uninteresting or just plain unlikeable. There were SO MANY painfully long unnecessary shots of characters just breathing or walking it was infuriating. For every sentence spoken they had to flip the camera and show every single character reacting. This should not have made it to the public, it should have stayed as a film student's series of shorts. It's so ironic that the filmmakers and editors sat through the hitchhiker telling the taxidermist how ridiculous it was to wait on a broken traffic light when they chose to put together this disjointed bloated rotting corpse of a movie.

Ugh, this 2021 horror anthology "The Devil's Tail" was brutal. And not in a good way brutal. Nay, this movie was just a swing and a miss from writers Mauro Croche and Taz Pereyra.

First of all, I didn't know that it was an anthology when I sat down to watch "The Devil's Tail", so the storyline made zero sense as things seemed very random and just change from one scenery and story to another in the blink of an eye. Normally, I am not overly keen on horror anthologies as they tend to be dubious at best.

But I continued on watching "The Devil's Tail", even after figuring out that it was indeed an anthology. But the stories just didn't have all that much appeal or punch, so it was a very bland and prolonged experience to sit through this movie from directors Nicole Goode, Carlota Pereda and Taz Pereyra.

Needless to say that I wasn't familiar with the cast ensemble that participated in the making of "The Devil's Tail". But since they virtually had nothing solid or interesting to work with from the script and storyline, then the performances just never found a footing, and it was a drag to sit through.

For a horror anthology then "The Devil's Tail" was bad, not just dubious, but downright bad. And this is not an anthology I would recommend you waste your time, money or effort on. The best part about "The Devil's Tail" was actually the movie's cover.

My rating of "The Devil's Tail" lands on a two out of ten stars.
