| User ReviewTristan PGreat film had a twilight zone type twist. |
| User ReviewJames HA decent horror movie with a good surprise ending. |
| User ReviewAndy FThe stories in this anthology are much better (not exactly horrifying, but interesting or unique) than most other anthology horrors. Lon Chaney is great, and although the whole thing is super cheese, it's still a pretty entertaining albeit funny watch. |
| User ReviewDavid DPretty stale and simple plot, the characters are uninteresting and Chaney Jr's performance is pretty average. There isn't much to the story and it ends rather dully and confusingly. |
| User ReviewRobin WThere have been many presentations of Satan in the annals of film history, but I doubt they could be any lamer than "The Devil's Messenger", which gives us an old, tired (possibly drunk) Lon Chaney Jr. sitting at a desk wearing a golf shirt! This horror anthology is actually made up of three episodes of a failed Swedish TV series, strung together by some newly-shot footage of Chaney playing the Devil in order to pad the film out to feature length; unfortunately, since the TV series in question was nothing more than a third-rate copy of "The Twilight Zone", none of the anthology stories are very clever or interesting, and the whole affair is pretty dull. Since there's very little narrative to work with, the movie just simply ends when every cheapskate filmmaker's favorite standby: stock footage of an atomic bomb going off! |
