Il figlio del diavolo

Found this at Walmart and took a chance. Regrets. I know some people are dramatic with writing reviews but I can't believe this.

How does a movie like this get made so poorly and have a decent budget behind it? It has no pace, not a single good actor, and no story. It doesn't make sense at all lol

I bought this movie after having scene that scary ass trailer and the awesome poster. I wasn't disappointed, well maybe a little. It's the story of a single father played by a sexy Robert Kazinski of Hot Pursuit. Strange things begin happening in the house especially the appearance of a dope ass monster. And than his son begins to transform and can possibly be possessed. It's a familiar story. Its obviously limited budget wise but there's lots of cool touches especially the appreciated and impressive practical effects. There's also a somewhat surprising twist that is quite intriguing. All in all it's a familiar but decent watch that merits a light reccomendation, especially considering it's 4.99 to buy on Amazon streaming now.

3.25/5

Pearry Reginald Teo's 'The Assent' has a strong start, a convincing performance by its lead actor, and nice art direction, all of which competes with a script that fails to do anything interesting to breathe some life into a tired genre.

....the end, it really is. That is what I enjoy most.

I have seen movies that deserve a 1 rating or even a negative rating but not this movie. The Assent was a bit slow & absolutely not scary. I would not call it a horror movie but a psychological thriller. I went into it with very low expectations so maybe that's why I have a higher opinion than others but there is no way I would rate it a 1. I thought most of the acting was good, atmosphere was good, plot was believable & I watched it all the way without losing interest. Not a great movie, not a horror movie but not a movie I regret watching, better than a lot of the crap they make now days.
