Devil's Revenge

A terrible movie by any measure. Direction and editing created immense stretches of shots that add to the already far too long play time. Although probably meant to give the illusion of a long travel, it rather cemented in reality how terribly far Devil's Revenge had to travel to be a good movie.

Extremely irritating plot holes that are left to fester for the entire movie, and plot pieces that seemingly had nothing to do with the main plot at all.

People are disappear and people just appear in the movie without any explanation whatsoever. We have time to explore caves and rivers, but no time to explore rationality. I suppose maybe transporters were used? Why not, if it is up to our imaginations and does not have to be rational: so be it.

Shatner has a strange rant that I replayed several times... and I still have no idea what he was going on about. He was passionate, and Kirk swears, which I thought was very funny! Other than that; I gave up trying to figure it out. I simply didn't actually care what his character was trying to convey with his fathers heirloom shotgun... that he keeps in a dirty stable.

Very flimsy plot pieces with flimsy connections throughout. White actors playing Aztecs? Aztecs with a shrine in a Kentucky cave system. Conquistadores... really?

Direction: I am not sure their was any direction. Yes, we did realize Jeri Ryan was driving in circles in a parking lot for an entire scene. Rather easily actually.

The best actor in this movie was the Recreational Vehicle. RV played such a convincing filthy and dilapidated Southwind that I nearly wept.

Even "Riff Trax" will probably pass on this movie... Shatner or not. You should too.

Sadly, I did not. Even the great William Shatner couldn't drag it off the cutting room floor. A truly bad movie in every sense imaginable.

If anyone tries to argue that William Shatner's overacting as Captain Kirk was an artistic choice, this is the film to show them. The best part of the film are the sets and creature work, which would make really spectacular house of horror venues for a fall fair.

I thought some entertainment could've been found here, but no! An absurd script beyond stupid, poor directing, unlikable characters you don't care for, utterly cheap special effects and backwoods locations make this a complete waste of time. William Shatner was kinda funny playing the over the top soldier-dad, and it was nice to see Jeri Ryan aka Seven of Nine again. Although I like Star Trek and appreciated to see 2 of it's characters in a totally different production, there isn't anything else Devil's Revenge has to offer.

After watching 18 minutes I started fast forwarding, normal speed when Captain Kirk was on screen, then fast forward again.

They must have used the entire budget getting Shatner to say a few lines, and he obviously didn't earn his keep.

Blazing sunlight in the cave casting sharp shadows, yet using flashlights was pretty funny.

SFX about fifty years outdated.

Story - none.

Actors - none.

No redeeming anything. It might even be worse than the worst movie "Asylum" films have ever put out.

This is one that should gather all copies of the movie, and buried in concrete with nuclear waste, or put in a rocket and fired into the sun.
