Horrible, fascist and poorly acted

I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

300 years after townies killed three witches, the citizens of Devonsville feels that crusading urge again when three new women (an environmentalist, a deejay, a schoolteacher) move into the community. Teacher Jenny (Suzanna Love) finds only local stud Matthew (Robert Walker Jr.) to be a willing dating prospect, which is bad because his ancestors were the ones who organized the witch killings. Meanwhile, Dr. Warley (Donald Pleasence) investigates the town's history to cure himself of the curse of having worms crawl out of his skin (really). This was another childhood viewing I decided to revisit that holds up as well as one would expect an 80s Ulli Lommel flick could. This flick is just plain weird at points though and full of bizarre scenes like when Paul Willson shows up at Jenny's house and gives this long rant about love before playing his violin. Lead Love was married to Lommel at the time (and apparently writing the checks) with both players fresh off the success of THE BOOGEYMAN (1980). She is probably the main appeal here. The end is pretty amusing as Jenny is revealed to be a witch with superpowers and she causes heads to roll, explode and melt. Then she splits town, with her relationship with Matthew left with no resolution and a guy trying to ape Pleasence's voice doing a voice over. Pretty sure Pleasence did one day of filming as all of his scenes are shot in the same room and he is wearing the same outfit. Filmed in Wisconsin, this had Bill Rebane working on the production and captures some gorgeous fall foliage.

Well I've been watching a lot of really weird stuff but this one is worser than awful. Pityful. The plot is so stupid it's hard to believe; special effects are crappy and hilarious; characters are stereotypical to the extent that the moviegoer feels offended; nothing makes the least sense in this movie which is a pile of badly rearranged commonplaces of horror. More than this the setting is squalid and depressive, and the whole movie looks close to some very ugly TV series. Expect boredom to its highest. A completely unexplained end stops the audience's sufferings. And there is Donald Pleasance in the cast, too. Yuck.

Ulli Lommel's Devonsville Terror(1983) is a good modern day horror tale about witchcraft and a town's dark past coming back for revenge. Sadly for the people of Devonsville, history does repeat itself. Three woman are drawn to this cow town for unknown reasons. One of them is a school teacher (Suzanna Love, despite her short ugly haircut still looks hot). The women's reaction towards the sleazy male town folk doesn't earn them any points, causing them to raise suspicion amongst them (like that squirly shop keeper had any chance with Suzanna Love!). That's when the fun begins. This movie is one of those "you either love it or hate it" types. There is no fine line with this one. Recommended (depending on your taste of movies). Ms. Love co-wrote and produced as well.P.S. This movie has some nice gory set pieces.

This typically mediocre horror flick is only worthwhile if you are a die-hard fan of the genre. The acting is good enough, and the story was okay, but as usual, this is a horror film that is not the least bit scary, or even creepy. If there is one very good thing about this movie, it is the look of the picture. I'm sure I'm not alone when I say that horror films that were filmed 15 to 25 years ago tend to have a dark, cold, and often lonely feel to them, and that the quality of today's technology is actually a bad thing when trying to film a scary movie these days. But the great look of this film still doesn't mean that any of you should bother watching it...
