A
nerdy orphan named Stanley Coopersmith
(Clint Howard) is tired of being
harrassed at his military school by his
instructors as well as the preppy bullies
at his military academy.
He
finds a book on summoning up the devil in
the cathedral basement as he practices
the book on his own computer to get even
with everyone who tormented him even if
he has to sell his sould to the devil
himself to gain powers and unleash it at
his military.
Oh god, after
watching the first bit of this movie I
knew I was in for a bad one and right I
was.
This film was extremely boring, corny and
a waste of time and money to make.
Avoid this one at all costs and watch 976-EVIL
instead.
The acting is
pretty bad and uninspired too. However, Clint
Howard did well as a teenage nerd in
the film.
R.G.
Armstrong also played a nice drunk.
Don Stark was corny playing a
bully and led a better acting career
afterwards.
A young woman has
her topped ripped down during a sacrifice
and her breasts are fully revealed.
Lynn Hancock strips down before
hopping into a shower and her butt is
revealed and so are her breasts.
A head is chopped
off during a sacrifice.
Hogs eat people alive
A spike goes through a man's head
A head is split open
A hand is bitten off
A hand tears through a guys chest
Lots of blood
The directing by Eric
Weston is so corny and stale but he
shows some interesting segments though.
We have a nice scene between Joseph
Cortese and Clint Howard
when Cortese was being vulgar
and stern to Howard causing him tears
which looked good.
There's a nice dialogue scene between Lenny
Montana and Howard in the
cafeteria together.
There's an intense moment involving Don
Stark when he gets out of line about
a sacrifice prank in the cellar.
We have perfect camera shots on the
computer with the pentagram and the
messages saying what it wants to
sacrifice.
Also there's a disturbing battle between
Howard and an intense reaction by R.G.
Armstrong in the cellar.
We have perfect camera shots on Howard
after he sells his soul to the devil
and he rises up with a sword in a church
thats on fire.
However, his direction with the bullying
scene's involving Don Stark
pitting against Howard looked
too Three Stooges like.
The soundtrack by Roger
Kellaway sounds too much like a
rough draft of Children of the
Corn and it's a little weak too.
