    Stop this Director

    If you screen this garbage, i promise you it will represent one of the worst movies you have ever seen. Hands down.

    Don't get your hopes up and you'll still be disappointed.

    The director has less than zero talent.

    He should not be allowed to make another movie.

    Dont watch.

    Horribel movie, maybe the worst made, the director should never be allowed to do another movie.

    A nice diversion

    I disagree with several reviewers who've blasted this film for bad or "wooden" acting. One of the indicators that you're watching good acting is that you forget the actors are acting, and that was pretty much my experience here, with a wide range of characters played with appropriate gusto and skill.

    Much of the violence is out of shot, the details left to the viewer's imagination. A dying scream followed by a generous splash of blood can say more than the grossest, most graphic death.

    There were a few problems with the plot and the pacing, and the ending could have been better; however, with a little sympathy and patience, you'll find an hour and a half of decent entertainment here.

    Getting a taste

    A horror movie that is also trying to be funny. I can see that this feels problematic. That it touches nerves. This plays almost entirely in one location, which made shooting obviously easier and the budget wasn't that big either (at least partially financed through Kickstarter as I read in an Interview). You may not like what the director decided to do with the main idea and you may find some dialog awful, but overall this is more than a decent effort to entertain the viewer.

    It has blood, it has jokes and it is as over the top as it needs to be. Not to everyones liking as I already stated, but that is not a reason to declare the director talentless. If you have a heart for independent movies and the humor touches home, you will have quite some fun with this. I know I had

    Not funny, not scary, not as good as most high school film projects

    Take a film with no scares, no humor, bad dialogue, bad acting, no money, a stupid story and you have The Devil's Restaurant. Blows my mind that people may have actually spent time working on this. Time for a new job or hobby or whatever this was....
