I am all for no-budget indie flicks, and when I find one
that comes from a production team I have never heard from, I tend to get
excited. Today, I stumbled upon one of those for my evening entertainment. It
was 2009s By the Devil’s Hands: The 666 Killer.
Plot/ The 666 Killer kills 6 victims over 6 days, 6 ways to
die...and, unfortunately, Jamie Anderson has been chosen as victim #6.
When I saw this at Family Video, I had to grab it. Yes, I
knew I was in for another low budget horror flick, and I knew there would be
flaws. However, I really did not expect two different movies, with two
different production values mashed together. Unfortunately, that is what you have
here. Sure, some of it, particularly the murder scenes feature solid
cinematography, decent kills, some blood and gore. Honestly, these parts were
worth watching. Yet, the other part of the flick centered on the office was the
polar opposite, with poor dialogue, so-so acting and lacking production value. In
the end, this one had a lot of potential with an interesting premise. It is
unfortunate that there are conflicting stories with varying cinematographic
values, as the mash up did not work with the low quality office scenes.
Honestly, had they stuck with the murders, they would have had a winner.
