The Devil's Left Hand

This movie was terrible. I created an IMDB account just to save someone else from wasting one hour and 38 minutes of their lives like I just did. The plot is bad, the acting is bad, the script is bad, the editing is bad... this movie felt way longer than only 1:38. I checked a couple review sites beforehand and it was rated pretty highly but I don't thinkink these people watched the same movie I just did. I kept hoping for some big twist at the end but that didn't happen either. The most entertaining part was probably how the medium's accent changed with every scene. Otherwise... DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME.

The Movie Raid Review

Film: The Devils Left Hand

The story involves a seyonce in which the woman who contacts spirits suddenly gets an unexpected visitor and is let out.

Two couples that were apart of the seyonce start hearing and experiencing strange things even seeing them happen. It is revealed that Richie dead fathers spirit may have a part to play and relies on the help of the woman seyoncer and her partner to stop the evil spirit.

The story is a slow burn and involves returning faces from Harley Wallens past films . Yan Birch character is a large piece of the puzzle in this story giving a cold tone of his character.

The story does give suspense as to where or what this entity needs in order to fulfill its desire such as Richies mother and his friends but also struggling with dealing with his father. There are no quick easy ways given to kill off evil like many super natural films give an incentive for, the lead characters wing it and hope their methods work against this evil being.

I felt there should of been more connections with the other couple that attended the seyonce and being able to prey on their weakness of character than a creepy girl entity just feasting on souls before the last confrontation. It does feel somewhat offset such as when two girls are effected by this entity that kills their parents and runs to the main couple in story for refuge considering these characters make no real connection on the situation at hand.

It is a worth of a sit through if you want subtlety in a super natural film. Very little special effects involved and adds more physcho logical feel to the main entity and those surrounding it.

If you like suspense, mystery, spooky and creepy mind games then I think you'll enjoy this. I saw Ash & Bone and I guess I kind of expected something similar and I'd say the only things similar was quality camera work., good acting and story and the music was really good! I'm not a fan at how much horror has changed to gross and disturbing effects with ridiculous kill counts has become the trend and so much is now completely void of a coherent story, intrigue and characters you actually care about.. it's a rare breeze of fresh air on what's lately been a stagnant pond of horror. Pro-tip: I saw it on Redbox incase you want to see it "free" since it's not free elsewhere.

Harley delivers a suspenseful yet thrilling ride in The Devil's left hand! It may be an indie production, but the film knows exactly where it's stands. Not just a horror film but the way it reaches into the paranormal as well as suspense make this an excellent yet easy to follow watch. Wallen shows a true knack for his way to bring you out of your seat and wanting more. In a long time has there been a film twist the devil and a demon together to bring a whole different feel something totally different. Paranormal activity meets the Conjuring. Harley displays his gift for writing and directing! Don't sleep in this one.

This movie has porno level production value. The sound has that tin can echo and a lot of scenes are over saturated. The script isn't that good and the acting isn't much but the story is interesting enough. So if you can put the quality aside, it's worth a watch if you like the genre

It hits all of the beats. The characters aren't very fleshed out but there is enough to understand what is going on.

Confused mediums is an interesting approach compared to the common all knowing wise person stereotypes most movies use.

The characters also don't always react in the same stereotypical ways. For example, seeing something in a mirror doesn't lead to the immediate turn around to an empty room.
