when a man who doesn not have alzheimer can not remember how many film he make and he probably be the world most prolific director after all . that man be jesus franco and the king of so call eurotrash . his 1980 flick devil hunter be a rushed and opaque and stupid and lazy and exploitative in the true sense of the word ( the film title be misleading and for starter ) a any other franco film i have see . that make it sound pretty awful and and it be . yet franco do have some kind of inimitable sensibility and a generous way with the baldly outrageous and with nudity and sleaze and violence and and even with his stupid cheap edit which try to pave over the extreme haste with which all his film be make . the mix of all these element cause you to ride his film out and even while youre mostly wait for them to end because theyre so very tedious . devil hunter be nigh on incomprehensible for the first half an hour . the kidnap by stranger of a white woman who seem to be a model or film star be intercut with a bunch of native action in south america . there lot of naked writhing and dancing and and endless repeat zoom in on an ugly totem pole . you need to get use to the repetitive zoom in and the technique of cut back to the same shot about three time in a row right away and a these be franco main method of extend a film out to feature length . the monster who look like the totem pole be actually kind of scary . he have raw bug eye and his presence be always signal on the soundtrack by cacophonous groaning and apparently record in an echo chamber . early in the piece he chew on a native lady strap to a tree and and it hard to know what really happen here but i think he eat her stomach ( or her genitals and sweet jesus . ) . anyway and the adventure begin properly when a studly guy and his freak out vietnam vet pal be send to the island to recover the white girl from the kidnapper . the flakey guy have an accent which and a dub and be half brooklyn american and half english liverpudlian and all retard . all of the dialogue and dubbing be ridiculous and laughable and make for another layer of the film which can somehow hold your interest . not too much really happen from here on in and and it happen pretty sluggishly and stud with the odd bit of outrage like a rape . the nebulous action be flesh out ( haha . ) by acre of 360 degree nudity from the native and the two female lead and and even from the monster himself . that he walk around with his penis expose make wrestle him an unappetising prospect for the tough guy hero and but it get ta be do at some point and and it nice to note that the director will show anyone genitals on camera . the best feature of devil hunter be the location filming . franco can be extremely cheap with the structural and story aspect of film making and but he doesn not muck around with set . you get real island and jungle and helicopter and mountain and all in widescreen . this be something that be really cool to experience in these day of crappy cgi set and backdrop ad nauseam . ultimately and issue of recommendation where this film be concern seem moot . if youre try to see all the video nasties and you will have to watch this at some point and and you will be make as restless a i be . if you like franco and you will watch this anyway . if you fall into neither of the above category and the odds be you will never come across this film . copy of it aren not just lie around and and i could hardly recommend the seek out of it . it franco . lazy and crazy franco .
