i remember devil dog play on tb almost 20 year ago and and my old sister and her friend watch it and laugh all the next day . it not that bad for a make for tv horror movie and but it be derivative ( mostly of the exorcist ) and businesslike and for lack of a good word . it would not blow you away with artful cinematography or great acting and but it not a waste of time and either . it the kind of movie you watch to kill a couple of hour when you aren not in the mood to think too hard . however and if you go into the movie look for some laugh and you would not be disappoint . the early scene and with lucky the devil dog a a cute little puppy with child of the damned eye be hilariously non threatening and and the climactic blue screen effect of a giant black dog ( with horn . ) be pretty side splitting . and keep an eye out for the cloaked satanist in maverick shade toward the beginning . not a great horror film by any stretch of the imagination and but i wish they still make stuff like this for tv .
