I was loving it up until it ended. Would have given it 7 stars but it honestly felt like they cut the last 15 minutes of the movie out.
It would have been a great mini-series instead of a movie. That would have allowed for more character development and an actual ending.
If you're into the occult and demon hunting, then I'd still recommend watching it but don't expect any kind of conclusion.
Film: The Devils Left Hand
The story involves a seyonce in which the woman who contacts spirits suddenly gets an unexpected visitor and is let out.
Two couples that were apart of the seyonce start hearing and experiencing strange things even seeing them happen. It is revealed that Richie dead fathers spirit may have a part to play and relies on the help of the woman seyoncer and her partner to stop the evil spirit.
The story is a slow burn and involves returning faces from Harley Wallens past films . Yan Birch character is a large piece of the puzzle in this story giving a cold tone of his character.
The story does give suspense as to where or what this entity needs in order to fulfill its desire such as Richies mother and his friends but also struggling with dealing with his father. There are no quick easy ways given to kill off evil like many super natural films give an incentive for, the lead characters wing it and hope their methods work against this evil being.
I felt there should of been more connections with the other couple that attended the seyonce and being able to prey on their weakness of character than a creepy girl entity just feasting on souls before the last confrontation. It does feel somewhat offset such as when two girls are effected by this entity that kills their parents and runs to the main couple in story for refuge considering these characters make no real connection on the situation at hand.
It is a worth of a sit through if you want subtlety in a super natural film. Very little special effects involved and adds more physcho logical feel to the main entity and those surrounding it.
It hits all of the beats. The characters aren't very fleshed out but there is enough to understand what is going on.
Confused mediums is an interesting approach compared to the common all knowing wise person stereotypes most movies use.
The characters also don't always react in the same stereotypical ways. For example, seeing something in a mirror doesn't lead to the immediate turn around to an empty room.
