Devilreaux

Holy crow this movie is BAAADDDDDD.

Starts off with some really bad acting store owners who for some reason are opening a shop devoted solel to Devileaux -- whomever THAT is. You'd think that they might want to diversify a little in the product line, but nooooooo.

What happens next are a series of cuts all over the place, hospital, restaurant, and 1800's. The so called "teenagers" all look like they are pushing 30.

The acting is dismal. Thes are trul 4th rate actors. You are not prepared for how bad the acting is. I was wondering if these were just friends who wanted to make a direct to video film or if these people are actually pursuing an acting career. For most of them, it's too late.

The Candyman guy akes an appearance. He must need money. But frankly, his acting is no better than the rest of the cast.

So horrendously bad & low budget that even casting the Candyman himself couldn't help it. The acting & historical accents were atrocious. The scenes depicting slaves/slavery were so cringy that I had second hand embarrassment. The story & plot went from bad to worse, cheap set designs & bad costumes...idk how many ways I can say bad... En Español; mala, poor, awful, dreadful, crummy, lousy.... Movies often require us to suspend our beliefs but the best films are at least somewhat based in reality, this was pure nonsense.... The demon coming back wearing a cheap synthetic braid wig after he died with a low cut minutes prior or a cop administering a "lie detector test" in a hospital to a shaken, crying, & upset patient just moments after their attack. I mean the whole point of the test is to monitor stress levels right... nvm! Just skip this!

So many of the scenes in this film were acted as if they were filming a low budget p**no. I am a huge Tony Todd fan, like epically huge, and this is hands down the worst performance of his career. It's like he saw that the rest of the acting was so bad that he decided to make his acting be bad to match theirs. They tried to jump the storyline around to make the point interesting I guess but they just jumped the story around and made it stupid and convoluted. I'm genuinely mad that I spent $6 to watch this movie. Like I genuinely want my money back. I was very hyped for this movie and now I'm very disappointed. Some of the scenes were well done. The set for the house was very beautiful and realistic. Most of the other sets not realistic.

I genuinely made it 5-6 minutes into the movie and wanted to gouge my own eyes out with hot needles. The acting couldn't have been worse. The special effects are some of the worst I've ever seen. If I would've rented this, I would've sued someone for emotional and financial damages. How absolutely dare y'all do Papa Legba like this? I could've got behind the plot of the movie, but what the absolute hell did y'all do? The bag was fumbled. I would truly rather binge watch the " horror movie" Slaxx for 365 days straight than get through the first 10 minutes of that movie. I kind of wanted to give this the shortest review ever... But there was a minimum character limit, and I think y'all needed to know what NOT to watch. 😭😂💀

Where to start? Story line is like so many and one wonders when people will learn. I mean seriously: a curse from the 18th century? Just a tad too corny. The whole feel is like Jumanji, using a ouija board and then the nasty ghost arrives holding Mike Myers ax.

Nothing against the main characte, Tony Todd, but he's a poor mans Geoffrey Holder/Baron Samedi from Live and Let Die.or as someone else put it: Papa Shango getting ready for the Royal Rumble!

Is there something positive....it's not filmed with a handheld camera and thus has a professional feel to it. That's why I gave it 4 stars instead of 3.

If you really got nothing else to do, it could be a time killer movie, otherwise save your 1 1/2 hours and do something else.
