Devil's Five

Sometimes you just got to stop up, take stock and actually take heed to the ratings on IMDb. But since I rarely do so, I do get to sit through some rather questionable movies from time to time. And "Devil's Five" was one such occurrence.

Now, I hadn't heard about this 2021 movie prior to sitting down to watch it. So I didn't know what to expect from writers George Brianka, Timothy David Clark, Edwin M. Figueroa and Terry R. Wickham, but I am rather impressed that not one, but four writers managed to conjure stuff for a movie that totally fell short of providing me with much of any entertainment or enjoyment. A rare feat in itself actually.

The storyline told in "Devil's Five" was bland and bordering of being downright boring. It felt like I was watching something written by preteens for a horror themed writing contest. So yeah, you are not in for anything grand or spectacular should you opt to sit down and watch "Devil's Five".

Sure, I will admit that the movie's title and its cover/poster was what lured me to watch it in the first place. Well, that and also the fact that it was a horror movie that I hadn't already seen. However, the only horror here was how laughably bad the movie was.

Needless to say that I wasn't familiar with a single actor or actress in the movie. Nor can I claim that I was impressed with what I saw. But I am sure that it wasn't singularly the fault of the actors and actresses, as I do think that the writers were not delivering anything worthwhile or solid for the actors and actresses to work with.

If you enjoy a proper horror movie, you might want to do yourself a favor and stay clear of "Devil's Five" from directors George Brianka, Edwin M. Figueroa and Terry R. Wickham.

I am rating "Devil's Five" a more than generous two out of ten stars.

Good old campy horror fun. If you liked American Horror Story: 1984 and Evil Dead, you'll get a kick out of this, particularly the short directed by George Brianka "Don't say these words!", which also adds in a bit of NY urban legend lore.

It's a great story 5 diffrent movies in one if you love creepshow you'll love devil's five plots leave you wanting more.

Watched so, much movies life of 40 years. These directors keeps you on your toes without the gimmicks of computer cartoon FX. Mr. Wickham on his part of directing thinks basic, driven horror ( 70's + 80's jondra) with creativity added and uses it in all scenes that drive this wraparound. It's not a wait and see sleeper. Gives suspense, blood, spooky film of camera work and blended well edited music. Acting and locations bring out Devil's Five. Very thought-out of what a film should bring to the screen. Three directors made this into one classic. Believe also the film won couple rewards. When time enjoy a film that has influence, vision how at one time movies were made and should be.

Very proud of Terry R. Wickham and his crew for getting this piece made and out to the public. A lot of work goes into making these films and by watching this piece I can see all the effort and overall talent put into it. Great work 10/10.
