Review of Devil's Rain (2009) by R.john X — 25 Apr 2013
I'm honestly shocked and saddened by the lack of recognition and appreciation this extremely creepy movie seems to get. I really love it and readily defend it. This should absolutely be a cult classic, but instead it seems to remain relatively unknown.
The story deals with a Satanic cult in a desecrated church in an abandoned ghost town. Add to that a legendary cast: William Shatner and Tom Skerritt share top billing with a devilish Ernest Borgnine, and John Travolta (then unknown) pops up as a blink-and-you'll miss-him baddie.
The titular Devil's Rain itself is literal rain which fricking MELTS PEOPLE'S FACES OFF in a stew of bubbly goop: gruesomely; nightmarishly, and even more creepy for its rough-edged 70's cinematography. If this sounds even remotely interesting, check out the gloriously nutso trailer (which by today's standards would definitely be a Red-Band) and laugh at the woefully inadequate PG rating.
