I am glad that I am feeling better. Yesterday, some type of
stomach thing popped up and knocked me down. While I am not totally back to my
normal self, I am at least able to function again. Hopefully, I am at the tail
end of it. Next up for review is the 2014 flick The Devil’s Hand.
Plot/ When young girls start to go missing within a
religious cult, older followers fear a long-told prophecy while the younger
members suspect abusive elders are killing them off.
The Devil's Hand was a low budget entry that takes place
within a world that many do not totally understand, which will lead to some
uneven reviews. For me, this was an interesting movie that dove into the
superstitious aspects of society that were prevalent in our infancy. Yes, this
was based in a modern time, but those fears still exist in some places. While
this one was not perfect, it does have some solid performances, an interesting
premise, and a decent ending. Yes, the pacing was slow, and there was a
disconnect with the type of movie being made. More of a Mystery/Thriller than
Horror flick, this one goes back and forth and seems to lose its way. In the
end, this was not a bad movie, but it was not great either. Sure, it was better
than I expected with some entertaining moments, but it may not be for everyone.
