The Devil Conspiracy

This movie is silly.

This movie had its moments. I thought it would be mythology focused but makes the mistake of trying to move the story through humans.

It has all your tropes and no scene really outdoes the first one.

The hand to hand combat scenes between Michael the Archangel and demons are eyerollingly boring. The main character, who you just know survives this, is likeable but everything that happens to her is so boring and predictable.

They don't do a good job of explaining the mythos or the requirements.

Idk its a semi-interesting premise that just lacks imagination in its execution. I actually clicked on the movie because I thought the imagery of Lucifer and Michael was really inventive.

It was disappointing honestly, but its not worse than other movies these days that take themselves way too seriously.

As it happens, I watched this preposterous B-movie immediately after one of the most recent Marvel flicks, and honestly: it turned out to be far better regarding editing, soundtrack, and screenplay - not that that's necessarily saying much.

Of course, the effects aren't on nearly the same level, but at least the filmmakers knew exactly what they were going for, and communicated their intention from the get-go. Really: I enjoyed this schlocky spectacle a whole big bunch, and Alice Orr Ewing is a star to keep an eye on, as she acts the Hell out of her role - pun obviously intended.

It's been a long time since I was able to just sit back and enjoy the overt ridiculousness of the entire Biblical spiel, and for me, it wasn't even a 'guilty pleasure' or anything - just entertaining fun.

I saw the trailer for this and thought it would be the perfect way to blow time before dinner plans. I thought "oh cool, a Syfy channel original that's probably also secretly some kind of 'God's Not Dead' sermon-wrapped-in-a-movie. I love schlocky B-movies, and I was down for a bad time.

So wasn't I surprised when this movie is just like... pretty good??? The acting is not cringe or embarrassing like I was betting on, the SFX are not any worse than the worst Marvel SFX (Thor 2 anyone?), it's got some pretty gnarly action/gore, REALLY cool and original concepts, serviceable and not distracting music... What kind of B-Movie is this?? Even the sets were pretty good! The storyline is of course a bit ridiculous but it's also fun, and most importantly for movies in this lane, SALIENT. The story is like... ya know... cogent the whole time, which is refreshing for this kind of thing. I never felt lost, and I never felt bored.

Not to say it was all flawless or anything, there were a couple distracting establishing shots that were clearly someone's nephew messing around in Blender, some of the child-acting was a lil rough around the edges, a couple physical performances from minor characters/extras were a little less than convincing, but if you compare this to similar projects in its genre/budget, The Devil Conspiracy is basically the Citizen Kane of Tubi movies. I would be genuinely excited to see a higher budget sequel to this, and I'll definitely be on the lookout for Frankowski's next movie.

It has heart! It was clearly made with intention and care. Yes, at times it feels a little cheap, but it never ONCE feels lazy. Worth your time if you want a Supernatural Horror/Action movie.

I mean no, its not award worthy, but I found it entertaining enough. Granted I went into it not expecting anything good. I actually expected to end up turning it off after a bit. I only gave it a shot because of 2 things.... Peter Mensah, and a weird scifi tastic sounding storyline.... While I was disappointed that Mensah didn't have more screen time I still found myself watching the whole thing and enjoying it. The music fit, and wasn't distracting and yes a lot happens in the dark... That's what TV settings are for people! Those are usually not set to optimal levels out of the box and almost always have to be adjusted. I had no problems seeing anything that happened. All in all it is definitely better than the low 4.5 rating. Is it a 10? Nope, although I was tempted to rate it as such to try and offset so many unjustly bad reviews... But I didn't. I did go ahead and give it a 6 although i really think its about a solid 5. For me ratings of 4 or less should be reserved for things with cringe worthy acting and/or cartoonish effects. They could have done more with the script, true. But all in all it was an entertaining watch that didn't run slow, it kind of hit the ground running and kept moving the whole time which works for me. It takes a special movie that can keep me engaged at a slow burn speed.

" lucifer possessed woman on giving birth: my water broke.

St. Michael : huh.

Lucifer possessed woman : proceeds to shower him with hot steamy water giggling hahaha.

St. Michae: screaming with pain"

that's how it is .movie was good for having a few laughs . It looks like someone wanted to take a different route of the movie LEGION but ended up making a mess with budget hitting cgi and actors with relevance becoming so irrelevant with punchlines and endless chase . Its not a bad movie afterall if you enjoy the comedy in it but i do feel bad because the story had nothing to support with it just so happens like yeah we are gonna do this today and release lucifer just like that .
