Entertaining, not too long, plausible (for the history and fantasy adepts among us), original story line, solid acting and hey, sure the quality of the effects would be at home in a B-movie but as indicated above the rest was well put together, i was entertained, she was sexy but dangerous and probably better than real all those loves (better?) left behind, oh memory can be such a harsh mistress. As i mentioned, usually not a fan of the gore or horror, this was time well spent, enjoy.

If I had to pick the best of all the New Zealand movies set in the Channel Islands featuring Nazi plans to win WWII by supernatural means, The Devil's Rock would be at the top of the list. To give it due credit, as a low-budget claustrophobic three-hander, it manages its resources very well. There is loads of blood and gore, a demon with decent makeup, a cute lady, a dastardly (but perhaps misunderstood) villain, a doughty hero faced with the sort of problems no-one should have to face, boobies, and a script which tries hard to keep you interested and very nearly succeeds.It needed a bit more to happen in order to be completely successful, but I suspect that was difficult to achieve within budget.

Great sound, good lighting, and a solid cast make this one solid film. Not your typical Nazi Occult film at all. Unusually bright well lit corridors, and just the right amount of gore as to not be excessive, or unnecessarily over the top. If you are looking for a good movie, and you can handle the sight of a little blood, then you will be pleasantly surprised. That is not to say that any real boundaries are pushed, or that you will see much if anything new here. It gets right to the point, and does not make you wait half the movie to get clued in so you will most likely Enjoy your time spent with this particular Demon of yours.

It's been a long time since I saw a horror film like this. By that I mean one that has a coherent and well thought out story told through believable dialogue.I've read a few bizarrely negative reviews here. When I say bizarre I mean some of the reasons for giving it low marks.Here are my two favourites:It's not going to make money – This is honestly the first time I've seen a film marked down on cost/benefit analysis.There's only three people in it – Really don't know what to say to that. Maybe Australia would be more up this person's street; I hear there's loads of people in it.Anyway, here are my positives:Well acted.Sets and setting looked great – stark, grotty and bloody. Everything a growing horror film needs.Didn't rely on cheap window rattling and supernatural wind 'Scares'. Made what the Nazi soldiers were doing more believable somehow.Resisted the modern-day urge to crowbar humour into the dialogue.The demon was played by a real person in makeup. Looked great as a result. You just know that a big budget film would have made it a ridiculous CGI creature with wild, over the top magic powers. It's a bit of a beef I have with modern films but I just think that actual people put in much more real and believable performances than computer graphics. And of course they look like they're actually there in the set, because they are.And the negatives:German soldier didn't have a German accent? I know the jury is kind of out on that one. Some people think that context is enough and an accent can be in poor taste or whatever. I sort of agree sometimes because I'm from Belfast and I've heard some really shocking attempts at the accent over the years. Maybe it's because I'm not German but I think I would have liked an accent in this instance.The gunshot wound – Now I know it might seem silly to question the plausibility of something like this in a film about a captive demon on a Nazi held island, but unlike the accent issue this one is all about context. In the context of the film all the occult elements make sense, but the Nazi soldier seemed to get a lot better after the bullet was pulled out. I mean I'm not a doctor but it just appeared that the bullet was the real source of pain and suffering, and not the gaping wound it created.Gina Varela looked fantastic as the demon but I would have liked to see more of her. She was naked and painted red and I think it would have added something to the disturbing nature of such a demon if we had seen more of her very fine body beneath the demon's face. This isn't some sad need to see T & A; I could have just watched some mindless rubbish like the new piranha film for that. I found it really got under my skin that she was still attractive as the demon. Could have made more of that perhaps.Overall:Loved this film. Really good example of what can be achieved in the horror genre by just doing old skool film making well.Unlike others who enjoyed this film I've given it ten out of ten, not because of the disproportionate negative reviews, but because it was just right up my street.
