A different way of telling a story

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

I was looking for a horror film last night and came across this one in the video store. It surprised me because I had never heard of it. What a great find! I laughed all the way through it. The plot twists were nice, especially where I assumed something was going to happen one way because it always happens in these type of genre films, then it twists for that very same reason. A certain Japanese scene that comes out of nowhere is my favorite.Kelly Hu is hot but no where near as hot as the girl who plays Jezebel. She is smoking, and I'm surprised I haven't seen her in more stuff. Definitely got a new fan in me.Devon Sawa is funny and Ken Foree is as solid and reliable as ever, even pretty funny himself in a gruff mentorish sort of way.It's a low budget movie so I can see why I went straight to DVD but still, definitely worth the 90 or so minutes it takes to watch.Hope they make a sequel.

Wow! This one's bad! I can't say I've sat through crap like this in a while. Strictly for Ken "Dawn of the Dead" Foree, and possibly Zoe "Grindhouse" Bell completists only, "Devil's Den" is the brainchild of stuntman/writer Mitch Gould, who should definitely stick with stunt work. Directing chores fell to Jeff "Stepfather II" Burr, who had his name removed from the project, but forgot to do the same with the laughably pretentious making-of featurette included on the DVD. Tough luck for him. The plot is slim to none: two dolts smuggling Spanish fly (???) stop at a fleabag strip joint that turns out to be populated by bimbo ghouls. A bloated Foree, who's obviously taking a paycheck, plays some sort of government agent who tracks down monsters, and Kelly "The Scorpion King" Hu is a government assassin. Devon "Final Destination" Sawa plays the dolt who survives the initial ghoul attack, and spends the rest of this yawner proving that he badly needs some cosmetic dental work. The gore is unremarkable, the naked boobies are few and far between, and the screenplay would give Syd Field apoplexy; mediocre is far too generous a term for this cheapo "From Dusk Til Dawn" ripoff. If this direct-to-video bomb really cost $1.5 mil, I'd sure like to know where the money went. Probably the catering service. You've been warned.

Cheesy and funny, this movie lacks in horror but makes up for it with comedy and cheese. I much prefer a low budget flick to a 50 million movie that blows (Tomb Raider 1 and 2).Where to begin, you've got 2 penny ante wanna be drug dealers, an assassin and a monster hunter. Add in a few badly choreographed fight scenes, some one liners and GOLD actor interaction and you've got a low budget flick that I found to be great.This movie was never meant to be terrifying horror, but just plain good fun.See it and enjoy, I did.

First lets get one thing straight- this is a low budget movie. Second- it is the best low budget movie you'll rent in a long long long time. Good characters, good dialog, good action and mostly just funny. Devon Sawa does a really convincing job of playing the freaked out reluctant hero, and Ken Foree- who can not like Ken Foree after Devil's Rejects. In fact any movie with Ken Foree and the word devil in the title is going to be a good one in my opinion. Kelly Hu is very hot and so are a lot of the other girls in the club- at least before they get real ugly. Plus there's a special treat for Zatoichi fans. If you know any of those old movies then you know the actor they got to play him does a perfect imitation. Just watch his face and eyes.Bottom line this movie is more entertaining than anything in the theaters right now.Of course 300 isn't out yet.
