All of this would be good silly fun if the movie weren't so painfully dull.

Audience Reviews for The Devil's Rain

Jan 01, 2011

An okay horror movie, it's one of those where a devil worshiping cult is trying to get revenge for the witch hunts. The biggest problem, I think, is that it takes place in the west, which doesn't make much sense. Plus, all the melting face guys get annoying after a while. A good cast, but maybe it would have been better with a different director and crew?

Laughably bad but hilariously entertaining B-movie about a Satanic plot to retrieve an ancient book that can help the devil ferry his captured souls to hell. Absolutely ridiculous tripe, but it has Shatner, Borgnine, and Travolta in it, which makes it oh so worth it.
