I've never been too much into devil movies. They always seem to lack something, perhaps some kind of person who knows the way to properly combat the demon or devil. And they all seem to have to act like the Catholic Church is right about all this stuff. So I have never watched many of them, aside from a few exceptions (Curse of the Demon, Equinox, to name exactly two). This one sure has some star power in it- Bill Shatner, Ernest Borgnine, Eddie Albert, Ida Lupino, Keenan Wynn and some kid named Travolta has about two lines as well. They do well, and there are some really cool makeup effects to help out, plus the whole gooey end. But the script is all over the place and makes no real sense. It's a waste of a good cast. It's not bad, it's just... meh.
Oh yeah, and that end. These types of movies never let the good guys actually win. There is always always always a "surprise" twist that the whole audience can see a mile away. I thought for a moment that we might actually get the Jack H. Harris "?" at the end, and I'm kind of sad we didn't.
Next week- The Crawling Eye (aka the Trollenburg Terror)
