Suing the Devil (2011) Reviews

• You should watch it to see how many fake good reviews it got

  I rented this movie after reading the numerous stellar reviews on IMDb. It took me 2 minutes to realize something was wrong. It felt childish, amateurish, grotesque. And not in an intentional way. This is truly a terrible piece of work. I even thought I had mistakenly rented another title. After triple-checking I decided to go on and watch it to the end. This is in my top 5 of the worst movie of all time. Rarely I felt so embarrassed for who took part in this, form the cast, to the Director, production and so on. Every single line of the script is so stupid that seems to come from a 14 years old kid. The acting is laughable, with the only exception of Malcom Mcdowell. I don't want to waste any other single minute in trying to explain how bad it is. However, I decided to read again some of the reviews. I can't believe that some say this is in the top 10 movies of the decade. DO NOT TRUST THE REVIEWS. They are obviously FAKE. Now that I think about it...you should watch this movie..just so that you know who is right.... After this, my trust in IMDb is at an all time low.

• Pathetic film. Worst movie I've seen in a very long time.

  Only decent thing was Malcolm as the devil. Every other actor sucked. The script and dialogue is so bad it makes my brain hurt. Then you add ultra naive Christian propaganda on top and there is your cake. I watched it since I liked to watch a B-movie with a devil which is usually a good combo for a lazy days film, but this movie simply did not deliver even what a cheap movie should. Every person who has given this film a positive review or more than 1-2 points review is either financially involved or wants to back up a Christian propaganda film for their religious interests. This movie is simply so bad that the opinion margin could not be more than that. I gave it one star I could have given two just to a statement that there was 1 good actor in a film. But in the end it didn't help the film a bit since even devil's dialogue in the script was just pathetic.

• What the.....?

  I went in with hopeful expectations, I was sadly disappointed. Being in the clergy I am always looking for a new way to pass the message - movies, streaming media, modern ways are the new pulpit but this is exactly why the message will never leave the walls of the church. How did they get Malcom McDowell to do this movie? Did everyone else work for free? It was the absolute most horrible piece of movie I have ever seen. I saw it with other members and I am ashamed to say it we laughed at it's feeble attempt to be a serious movie. Horrible acting, worthless delivery and very disappointingly a waste of my dollar. If I was on the fence about seeking God - this would change my mind. Shame on you.

• Absolutely Terrible. Worst movie I've seen in decades.

  The title is no exaggeration. I literally cannot remember a movie that I've seen that is worse than this. Perhaps Iron Eagle 2. I only watched Suing the Devil all the way through because it had been my idea to rent it, and as such I felt that I deserved to watch it as punishment. Redbox should be ashamed of themselves for carrying this. First off, the film is a blatant Christian propaganda movie. And before you start, that might be OK... a film can have an agenda and still be entertaining. But even within that context, the movie was awful. The plot made no sense whatsoever. Every one of the characters was flat and written inconsistently. There was not a single decent acting performance. The special effects looked like something from a 1970's Doctor Who episode. And I'll give a spoiler here because if you still see this movie after reading this review, I have no sympathy for you. Get this... the movie used the "And it was all a dream!" finish at the end. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. It's beyond belief that any professional scriptwriter from this era would have the gall to use that. The movie is not even bad in a campy sort of way, where you can just laugh at it. It has no redeeming qualities. It has no characters that you can identify with, laugh at, or just sit back and be entertained by. There is no way that anyone who is not a hardcore Christian would score this above a 1, and even then, I can't see how anybody could possibly have enjoyed this.

• probably the worst film you will ever see

  McDowell should've quit while he was ahead.. In 1971.. When he did A Clockwork Orange. This film is up there with the biggest cinematic disasters of all time. An amalgamation of poor acting, terrible storyline and awful filming makes for one of the least exciting and gripping films I have ever watched. The lead role - Luke O'Brien, appears to be played by someone with no acting experience whatsoever. Honestly, at times you can't tell whether it's done deliberately it is so bad. The only thing this film may have had going for it was the remotely interesting subject matter and religious debate, but alas, this opportunity was thoroughly missed, and there is no real message conveyed by the film. I can deal with bad acting, a loose plot and not much production value, but the ending was really the deciding factor in me ranking this film lower than any other I have seen, and inspiring my first IMDb review. It is a longshot to get anyone to take a film with the title "Suing the Devil" seriously, and this is made exponentially harder by the fact that at the films climax, he wakes up, and in true children's story fashion, "it was all a dream". As if this poor excuse for a film could get any worse, then that happens, the true nail in the coffin of one of the worst films ever. My advice is steer well clear of this train wreck of a film.
