title represent the devil raindirector represent robert fuest cast represent ernest borgnine and tom skerrit and william shatner and john travolta review represent i have hear a few thing about the devil rain and among them be that this be john travoltas first movie and that william shatner ( aka captain kirk ) be in it . but first and foremost i think that the fact that the use a high priest of the church of satan a a technical adviser for the film just really peeked my curiosity for this film . the story be about a satanist cult lead by a man name corbis . he lose a book that have all the name of the people that he have turn into satanist and he need it to send their soul to hell and but low and behold . william shatners family have the book and he doesn not want to give it back . i wont give a devil man what he want . i must say that this movie be very fun to watch . it have many thing that make it an entertaining film . ill start by the performance . ernest borgnine a corbis be positively evil . but at the same time he be funny . i do not know how to put it but the performance he deliver be both cheesy and good at the same time . he look kind of funny with his red hooded garment and his beer belly yell all sort of sacrilegious phrase . but at the same time he be very evil when push come to shove . he be one of the cool thing of the movie . then there shatner who be always a hoot . he over act many time as well and speak his word a if he be aboard the ss enterprise . it be a if they choose these two really cheesy actor and put em together on the same film to see if they could bring up their mega cheese factor high . well ill tell ya and they achieve it and ill be darn if it wasn not fun to watch . the rest of the cast be nothing special and tom skerrit and the rest of the cast be just blurt out their line and but do not do too bad of a job . and for those of you hold their breath to catch travolta in his first film role . well do not hold on for too long cause you just might miss it . he be virtually unrecognizable under the satanic black hood and make up . honestly and the only way i recognize him be by look at the dimple in his chin . the atmosphere in the movie be excellent . right from the first opening minute you be treat to an opening sequence that will certainly pull you in . you be right smack in the middle of a lightning storm with bucket and bucket of rain fall and the wind blowing like a madman . it just pull me in right away and i love that . then there the spooky ghost town in which the satanist do their worshiping . it add a nice feeling of desolation and loneliness . a ripe old place for satan monger to fester in . then there the make up effect . with a movie boasting to have the most incredible end on any motion picture ever . well you know it got to be something special . and special it be . not mindblowingly good special and but special enough to liven up my saturday night . the gooey and messy and wet and slimy end be worth the wait and certainly live up to it title . what i really like about that gooey satan worshiper melt in the rain finale be that it last a long time . they really take their time to show these devil bastard melt in every which way they could possibly think of . cool in deed . the only negative side to this film be the cheesy dialog . i mean come on dude . didn not they use a high priest of the church of satan to write this thing . yet the whole thing come off a a phony and cartoonish version of devil worshiping . even the devil himself be a cartoon on this one . complete with goat horn and all . i be expect something a bit more serious from a movie that boast have a high priest of the church of satan help them along the way . but no and we get the cartoon version of what satanism be like . now that i think of it . they always do that in movie . but this be not to say that the movie wasn not fun . it be oodles of fun . just not real . in conclusion and this be a fun movie with lot of cool little thing to keep you interested and gooey slimy fx and cheesy story and acting and satanism ( thats always an eye opener . ) . just do not take it too seriously and cause it not that type of movie and anyway the minute shatner start say his dialog you will think his go to beam satan up to the enterprise or something . rating represent 3 out of 5 .
