Review: Devil's Revenge (2019)

Oh boy, this time I’m reviewing a horror film with William
Shatner in it…
John Brock is a down-on-his-luck archaeologist who returns
from an expedition to the caves of rural Kentucky after unsuccessfully trying
to locate a mysterious relic that his family has sought for generations. Upon
his return, John starts to see dream-like visions of a ferocious bird-like
creature from ancient folklore. John soon learns that the cave he came into
contact with on his last expedition was indeed the cave that contains the relic
and also a portal to Hell and a place of worship for the Occult. John discovers
that the only way tostop the increasingly realistic visions is to go back to
the cave with his family, find the relic once and for all, and destroy it.
Ok, well I went into this film not expecting much and I got
my wish.
This film feels like it was written and directed by people
who never went to film school. The plot in this film is a muddled piece of Shat.
The writing is also Shat. The demons looked ok, but they look like something
you’d find walking around a convention. The supposed family in this film
didn’t in any way feel like a family.
There was no real atmosphere or even scares…Well, except for William Shatner’s
performance as the main character’s father. Bill plays a nasty tempered old man
who orders his son into not only risking himself but his family. This was definitely
the worst performance of Shatner’s career. It is pure unadulterated Shat. I
honestly felt sorry for Star Trek Voyager actress Jeri Ryan for having to be
stuck in this Shatfest. Jeri plays the main character’s wife. She plays her way
through what was given to her with her usual charm…Poor Jeri.
To put it simply unless you are a stickler for pain or want
to see Shatner at his worst I warn you to avoid.
If you want to go against my warning you can find this piece
of Shat on Tubi TV. I pity you…
