Absolutely awful!

I just finished watching Better the devil you know and I can advise no one to do the same. The film is about three friends that come back to their home town because they felt the 'urge' to do so. All of them are without a job and at first that is thought the reason that they came back to the village they grew up in. One of them, Tom Anderson, has had a dream where his and his friends death was predicted to him. The film continues from there.

Better the devil you know is a low budget movie and has that written all over it. Unfortunately not in any good way. It lacks a decent story, talented actors and decent music. This actually might have been the first comedy that didn't even make me think about a possible smile. Leave alone actual laugh. Despite the boring beginning I thought this film might have had some potential. I couldn't have been more wrong. After the film ended I was wondering if I could think of a worse way to spend my time.

I cannot think of any audience that will like this movie and cannot advise anyone to spend time on this attempt of a movie.
