Devil's Revenge

Great acting by William Shatner. I almost thought he was impersonating my dad for a minute. as always he really sells his character. Unfortunately though the director was not quite as talented and the editor even less so. Post production team gets a D. I really felt like the Director and the Editor didn't care about the final result of all of the effort that went into the rest of the movie. the director didn't spend much time writing a script, and the other actors didn't do much in the way of ad-lib, but that is neither here nor there. It could be saved, but it needs a new score and a re-edit, which i'd like to personally do, because with some modifications this movie could have actually been scary.

Well, one cannot expect much with low budget contemporary horror like this. In any case the film had a few worthy moments like some gore scenes and a few atmospheric glimpses of the bad guys. Star Trek's Voyager's Jerri Ryan is here in a largely contrived and forgettable role. Most of the movie seems nonsensical but everything turns out relatively fine when William Shatner comes in with a solid trademarked over-the-top performance and some killer lines, while his participation lasted much longer than one would expect. For me his presence made this whole thing worthwhile

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.

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.
