The Devil's Left Hand

This movie has porno level production value. The sound has that tin can echo and a lot of scenes are over saturated. The script isn't that good and the acting isn't much but the story is interesting enough. So if you can put the quality aside, it's worth a watch if you like the genre

It hits all of the beats. The characters aren't very fleshed out but there is enough to understand what is going on.

Confused mediums is an interesting approach compared to the common all knowing wise person stereotypes most movies use.

The characters also don't always react in the same stereotypical ways. For example, seeing something in a mirror doesn't lead to the immediate turn around to an empty room.

The Movie Raid Review

Film: The Devils Left Hand

The story involves a seyonce in which the woman who contacts spirits suddenly gets an unexpected visitor and is let out.

Two couples that were apart of the seyonce start hearing and experiencing strange things even seeing them happen. It is revealed that Richie dead fathers spirit may have a part to play and relies on the help of the woman seyoncer and her partner to stop the evil spirit.

The story is a slow burn and involves returning faces from Harley Wallens past films . Yan Birch character is a large piece of the puzzle in this story giving a cold tone of his character.

The story does give suspense as to where or what this entity needs in order to fulfill its desire such as Richies mother and his friends but also struggling with dealing with his father. There are no quick easy ways given to kill off evil like many super natural films give an incentive for, the lead characters wing it and hope their methods work against this evil being.

I felt there should of been more connections with the other couple that attended the seyonce and being able to prey on their weakness of character than a creepy girl entity just feasting on souls before the last confrontation. It does feel somewhat offset such as when two girls are effected by this entity that kills their parents and runs to the main couple in story for refuge considering these characters make no real connection on the situation at hand.

It is a worth of a sit through if you want subtlety in a super natural film. Very little special effects involved and adds more physcho logical feel to the main entity and those surrounding it.

Right, well I had never heard about this 2023 horror movie titled "The Devil's Left Hand" prior to stumbling upon it by random chance here in 2023. And with it being a horror movie that I had not heard about nor seen, then of course I opted to sit down and watch it, as I love horror movies.

And I figured that since the movie had scored a 6.3 rating here on IMDb, when I sat down to watch it, then it seemed like I would be in for a fair enough horror movie experience. Little did I know just how wrong I would be proven.

Writer and director Harley Wallen delivered a rather lukewarm horror movie here. The script, storyline and narrative in the movie felt amazingly random, generally lacking a red thread throughout the course of the narrative. It felt and looked like writer and director Harley Wallen was just making things up on the fly as the filming of the movie progressed.

The acting performances in "The Devil's Left Hand" were fair enough. Nothing outstanding or great, though. But the actors and actresses on the cast list did well enough, given the limitations imposed upon them by the script - or lack thereof.

Something that did work in favor of "The Devil's Left Hand" was the special effects. Not that it was mind-blowing special effects that will knock your feet away from under you or anything. But taking into consideration the level of production and the amateurish feel that the movie had to it, then the special effects were actually fair.

For a horror movie then "The Devil's Left Hand" was a swing and a miss. Nothing scary about it throughout the course of the 98 minutes that the movie ran for. Again, things were just too random and inconsistent to have a proper build up for a scare effect.

My rating of "The Devil's Left Hand" lands on a three out of ten stars.

Harley delivers a suspenseful yet thrilling ride in The Devil's left hand! It may be an indie production, but the film knows exactly where it's stands. Not just a horror film but the way it reaches into the paranormal as well as suspense make this an excellent yet easy to follow watch. Wallen shows a true knack for his way to bring you out of your seat and wanting more. In a long time has there been a film twist the devil and a demon together to bring a whole different feel something totally different. Paranormal activity meets the Conjuring. Harley displays his gift for writing and directing! Don't sleep in this one.

Not a lot of character development and seems fairly low-budget and some subpar acting, but the story line is great and there's a lot of build up, but then it just ends. There's no conclusion. It's like watching a tv show that ends on a major cliff-hanger, only there isn't another episode or sequel.

I was loving it up until it ended. Would have given it 7 stars but it honestly felt like they cut the last 15 minutes of the movie out.

It would have been a great mini-series instead of a movie. That would have allowed for more character development and an actual ending.

If you're into the occult and demon hunting, then I'd still recommend watching it but don't expect any kind of conclusion.
