What do France, a deformed killer, a psychotic dangerous horse, a mummy, a creepy castle, and the 80's all have in common? They're all awesome and they are all words that describe this movie. This bizarre, bizarre movie.
I first knew Devil Story was something special when the music kicked on and it was pretty good. Then I knew it was something special by the "acting" or should I more accurately say, the people they pointed the camera at when they said action, because these people are not actors.
Then, the horse comes along and it's as inexplicable as it sounds, which is about on par with the deformed killer and everything else in this movie.
Now...here's the real fun part. There's in incredibly long scene in a graveyard, then a long chase, and I realized at some point no one had saying anything I believe there's about 45 minutes in this film of non-dialogue, just groaning, screaming, horse whinnying, and music. The killer is put through the ringer too, getting kicked by the horse and lit on fire.
Let's not even stray into the ending, which involves a Egyptian coffin, a ship that's on land, and very conveniently labeled containers of gun powder. This movie is not just "bonkers", it's full on lock-me-in-a-straight-jacket commit-able. It's not bad, in fact it's the very thing that gets guys like me into weird shit. It'd be great with buddies and beers.
