The Devil’s Rain
“Absolutely the most incredible ending of any motion picture”
Certified Crap. CrapScore 61, rated by 1 admin.
Higher CrapScores mean more entertainingly bad. How we score movies.
Ernest Borgnine leads a satanic operation with the enthusiasm of a man who has been promised an excellent costume. Soul contracts and family peril lead toward wonderfully unpleasant practical melting effects. The drama is uneven, but the finale gives this cult gathering a memorable texture.
