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.

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.

Devon Sawa goes the way of Corey Haim and Wil Wheaton in demonstrating that being teen pretty-boy idol is no guarantee of adult success. This film is dire to the max. Every cliché and stereotype that the script writers could squeeze into it, is present. How they can have any pride in themselves is beyond me. Devil's Den is essentially a crass version of the already fairly crass Dusk till Dawn minus any of the road trip stuff before the ensemble (in D2D) arrives at the strip club. Kelly Hu provides appealing female eye candy, whilst the banter between Ken Foree and Sawa just about provides enough entertainment to prevent you completely lapsing into a drooling coma. The only remotely interesting part is that Sawa perfectly plays the vacuous dumb blonde that he appears to be in real life. I'm lousy at working out in advance how plots will unfold, and even I had figured out the "twist" within 1 second of the characters' real motivations being revealed. It was about as surprising as sun in the desert. The only reason I kept watching, was I had some ironing to do, and I couldn't be bothered to change the channel. I kept waiting for the "proper" film to start, but the movie was over before I realised this was the proper film - sadly. The creature effects were okay, but utterly wasted in this unimaginative dross. All that's left to Sawa is adverts for hair restore lotion and impotence cures, then he'll have sunk as low as it's possible for him to go.

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.

This is anything but a serious movie, and anyone who expects an honest try at a movie here is a fool. It's so cheesy it has to be intentional,and there is some comedic gold dispersed thru the film. True it's fairly predictable, and kelly hu is hot but isn't the greatest actor, though she is the most accomplished martial artist in the film. Devon Sawa may have been drunk the whole time filming, but that suits his character anyways. I laughed out loud more than once, and that's something most big budget Hollywood comedy blockbusters aren't able to boast. This film is a 10, because if it isn't a 10, it's a -3, and it's definitely not that.

This is one of those movies where you wonder how anyone involved in it figured they had a good enough reason to make it.I mean if this weak mess can be a movie just about anything you could think up could be a movie too. A couple of losers stop by a strip club in the middle of nowhere to test some Spanish fly they have just smuggled in from Mexico.Then all Hell breaks loose when the strippers get hungry for some meat.I swear that is the plot.I mean Spanish fly? So at this strip club out in the middle of nowhere you get the smugglers,a government agent ,an assassin and even a Samuri swordsmen who must fight off the horde of meat seeking strippers or 'ghouls' as they were called so we'd be sure to know they weren't vampires or werewolves,like it made a difference.Yeah it sounds bad and it was. This whole movie was weak as water.The acting was terrible from most everyone except Ken Foree and even he couldn't overcome an awful script that was painfully bad most of the time.And the plot of this clunker was just horrid.The special effects consisted mainly of what looked to be generic Halloween masks and those rubber monster hands that sell for 3 bucks a pair at Big Lots.They couldn't even get the blood right--their fake blood was so dark it looked black.I mean who the hell can't get close to what blood is supposed to look like?Ken Foree,as the government agent, was wearing some of those thick joke glasses and what looked to be an oxygen cannula as his disguise.I guess whatever was laying around must have been cobbled together for the special effects. One of the smugglers looked like a young Anthony Michael Hall and talked like Corey Feldman---try watching a movie with that combo platter.Truthfully the main reason I rented this DVD was the box promised lots of nudity and even that was a ripoff.The few breasts I saw were mostly on the ghoul chicks and even those were just quick glimpses.Even on stage the dancers were dancing clothed.Yeah some strip club. I've seen some of the reviews saying this is a rip off of "From Dusk til Dawn" well it may be but "Dusk" wasn't very good either and "Dusk" itself ripped off several horror movies too.But I don't care who rips off who as long as the movie is good.This one wasn't even close to being good or even fair,it was totally a waste of time.I've saw some reviewers say that maybe this film was supposed to be quirky and funny instead of a straight horror film.Well if it is taken that way it is even a worse mess, I think, cause it sure wasn't funny in the least. Even the blooper reel wasn't funny.The actors were being yelled at whenever they blew a line like each second of wasted film was cutting into the budget and for a moment you feel some pity for the unnamed rabble of actors who work in these awful low budget pictures.They aren't much different than somebody working at McBurger getting yelled at for getting behind during the lunch rush.Silly me, and I thought a blooper reel was supposed to be funny and lighthearted. I always wonder after I see a crap fest like this who in the hell looks at a terrible script with a nonexistent plot and lousy special effects and a bunch of scene chewing actors and says " I see a movie here !" Like I said if this can be a movie any half-assed idea you can think of that involves a few rubber masks can be a movie too.
