The Devil Commands

 

Why?

I went home for the weekend and this was the second movie we watched. The first movie we watched was actually real and everyone got sad so we did a second movie to cleanse our palettes for the night.

What in the world?

A man's wife dies and he is trying everything in his power to speak to her one last time. He's also a scientist so that helps him a lot with this goal.

Personal thoughts

I thought that the devil might actually be in the movie, but SPOILER the devil does not appear in this movie once. Maybe Mrs. Walters was the devil but then again she ended up dying. The devil might have helped this movie because most of the characters were very unlikeable. The only sane people in the movie showed up very rarely so we weren't left with very much. The main guy has lost his mind just a little and he doesn't even know how to be a person anymore by the time the movie has ended. He also dies though so there's not much more he can do there. He did end up hearing his dead wife say his name so in the end he did a pretty good job even if he accidentally killed a couple of people.

Score

I have to give this movie a 5 out of 10. While it was better than the first movie we watched that night it definitely wasn't the best movie of all time. It was kind of slow moving and that was about all there was to it. I did enjoy his personal assistant that he had lobotomized pretty much. I mean at least he didn't die from the volts of electricity that was pumped through his body. OH when the main guy was trying to speak with the dead, he had 6 (eventually 7) corpses around a table. I don't know why he needed to do that, but those corpses would create a tornado (presumably to the underworld) when his dead-speaking contraption was turned on. That was honestly one of the most interesting things that happened in this movie.
