The Devil to Pay (I) (2019)
4/10
Slow burn with poor story
1 December 2023
I'm always interested in a good revenge film and I've seen my share of opbression films. This film felt poorly thought out in its effort to remind us all of these 2 genres and of an opbression that has been seeking revival. It was well acted with good videography, despite the too-clean clothing and too-new boots on Lemon. There was a time when we all could appreciate the strong female lead being backed into a corner by disgusting vengful low lifes, but it just feels so unrealistic - the lone blck fam; the Hallowed folk who become savages unexpectedly; the pie baking devul who feels safe alone in her kitchen despite the atrocities she's purpetrated. This film couldn't decide if it was a message film or a horror film. It felt like it had an agenda. Not a complete waste of time but I wish it could have been one thing or the other.

Please excuse the misspellings as I find it is becoming more and more difficult to get my reviews through using simple language we once were allowed to use.
