Devil's Den (2006)

OK, OK...so it's rip-off of several other horror-comedies. It's still fairly amusing and at least slightly unpredictable. Shoddy FX don't ruin ALL your enjoyment. Plus, you get to see Devon Sawa looking like he's been hanging around outside hotels cadging cigarette butts.But now to the important stuff. Is everyone in horror movies completely deaf? I mean, you can have four people just yammering away in an argument just down the hall from a dozen ghouls, and the ghouls apparently don't hear a thing. At one point, a couple is just plain yelling at each other at the entrance to a cave (plus, one of them is firing a gun periodically) and the creatures inside the cave are absolutely oblivious. I've never been in a cave where that would have worked. And it's not just this movie, either. Evil slashers are always dropping out of the ceiling behind a victim, pulling up alongside cars in their own cars, and opening doors and hatches right next to potential victims. Does anyone notice anything? Nope. I mean, I'm 54 years old and I know I would have figured it out.But enough digression. This is an OK movie. Check it out, if you like the genre.

The movie had promise at the beginning. Then you will be surprised it does not have much. The acting is nothing special, and the story does not keep the audience interested. I tried to stay awake at times, that tells you something. It tries to be funny, but the humour is not well made. I don't know if the director was making a comedy or a horror movie. It tries to be both but it can't. The creatures look funny you will laugh. They try to scare you, but the audience will laugh. I think this director is trying to do a Sam Raimi, but can not match its quality. If I were you I would not even watch this, cause it's pretty much boring and has a hard time to keep you interested.

Sometimes, low budget B movies can be a lot of fun. This is one of those movies.The plot line is simple enough, two buddies go to a strip club where they encounter an assassin babe, a monster hunting samurai and a club full of stripper/ghouls. Who is on who's side gets a little convoluted at times, but in the end, it's a rip roaring amount of fun for this kind of movie.Kelly Hu. Not a great actress, but as an action hero, she's better than most. Certainly knows how to do martial arts. The other actors turn in fine performances... I admit, I didn't see the twist at the end were the "nice" waitress turned out to be the head monster.

This low-budget "From Dusk till Dawn" & 'Vamp" generic copy, starts off well enough with two clueless clowns (Devon Sawa & Steven Schub) going to a strip club that's filled with ghouls (obvious 'buffy the vampire slayer' rejects). But as it goes on, the films goes downhill fast. Sawa's reluctant 'hero' grates on the nerves badly and Kelly Hu further proves that she should be seen and not heard. In fact any scene without Ken Foree in it is pretty much completely unbearable. This is a 'horror-comedy' that sadly can't produce either horror nor comedy.My Grade: D Eye Candy: Dawn Olivieri and an unknown extra get topless
