Steinesongo Too many fans seem to be blown away
Aiden Melton The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
Taha Avalos The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.
Cristal The movie really just wants to entertain people.
Páiric O'Corráin The Devil's Rock: British Commandos, an SS Occult Unit in search of the ultimate Supernatural Weapon, Witchcraft, a shape shifting Demon. Yes, the Channel Isles were a fun place to be during WW2.Two commandos land by dinghy on a decoy mission to sabotage gun emplacements thereby misleading the Germans as to the likely D-Day invasion sites. But they hear female screams coming from a bunker investigating they find a Lovecraftian scene, half eaten German soldiers, a soldier who has committed suicide. A Grimoire lies on the ground.A surviving SS officer kills one commando and captures the other. Then we encounter the Demon who handily can take on the features of your loved ones. A summoning has gone wrong. The commando and SS officer are forced to cooperate.Great Demon, ripping heads off.Good War/Horror film, 7/10
Jesse I didn't have high hopes for this movie at all - I thought the cover art was cheesy and the synopsis of the movie on Amazon Prime didn't charm me much, but I decided to give it a chance since it had 4 stars out of 5, and I don't see that much for horror movies. It was totally worth it! I absolutely loved the main two actors and the main actress and though that they were perfect for their parts. It was definitely creepy, and honestly I thought the special effects were really great, especially considering that I've seen worse special effects in movies that were guaranteed to have been better funded. I'll definitely be keeping an eye out for Campion films in the future, as well as Craig Hall, Gina Varela, and Matthew Sunderland.
Michael Ledo Two New Zealand soldiers are tasked with taking out the big gun on a channel island prior to D-Day. While there they discover an underground facility with evidence of Hitler's obsession for the occult.PLOT SPOILER: The demon for Trekkies: Nancy Crater. The rest of you won't get that spoiler without a search. I venture to guess, most of you already know reading through reviews. The production combines that episode with Norse Mythology and the first Indian Jones feature. The acting and story were fine. The film never had more than three characters on the screen at one time and could be done as a play as the action takes place in 2 rooms plus hallways. The creature effects were decent and won a local NZ film award in 2012. The blood squirt scene could have been better. A lot of dialogue as compared to action.Guide: F-word. Demon nudity (Gina Varela)
gbjay Having a lifelong love, deep interest, and passion in film-making, and finished properties, I've been mislead into many Horror/SciFi dramas of foreign origin, merely to be disappointed. Not so with "THE DEVIL'S ROCK". It's making should have been fiscally prudent, with --I presume-- filming in a virtually narrow, perhaps singular area, and a minimalist's Cast. Of course, I'm pleased that Director "Paul Campion" has foresight, and insight to accompany his artful cinema-graphic storytelling.Without giving away a single thing, "THE DEVIL'S ROCK", though not exclusive in eeriness, drama, suspense, and cunning, it satisfies in a manner that leaves one wanting more by its end. Grab the Popcorn, Chips, Drink, whatever, and turn the lights way down, and the 5, or 7.1 way up. I'm sure John Carpenter loved this one, too... --GBJ
