Movie Info
Ulli Lommel's atmospheric chiller opens with a violent prologue in the 17th-century Colonial town of Devonsville, where a trio of local women are accused of witchcraft by the zealous locals and executed in gory fashion by pitchfork-wielding vigilantes. Flash forward to the present, where the arrival of three progressive young women ignites the same superstitious paranoia among the current generation of townsfolk -- who perceive their new visitors' arrival as the culmination of an ages-old curse.

Audience Reviews for The Devonsville Terror
[COLOR=Magenta]Now here are some cheesy low budget horror films that I sort of like. Let me say I really liked The Boogeyman as a kid. I remember seeing it at the drive in more than once. Both of these flicks are directed by Ulli Lommell and starring Suzanna Love. The Boogeyman borrows heavily from many horror films. Films such as Halloween. The Exorcist. and others are blatantly ripped off. Does this destroy the viewing pleasure. Hell no!! Hey it is the tale of a possessed mirror that causes some deliciously gory deaths.
The Devonsville Terror is a slow moving thriller. Great story concerns the town of Devonsville where 300 years earlier witches were born. One of those witches meant serious business and cursed the town. Plot holes galore but I am a sucker for a good witch film. Because when the fanatics try to have another witchburning all hell breaks loose. Again some pretty cool death scenes with an appearance by Dr. Loomis himself Donald Pleasance. Both of these are for fans of horror especially 80's horror![/COLOR]
