The Devil Conspiracy (2022)

My quick rating - 5,6/10. The summary sounded interesting enough. Nice intro to grab my attention as well showing Lucifer being defeated by Michael and cast down to the depths of hell. Yeah, I saw the Shroud of Turin when it made its way through Chicago at the Museum of Science & Industry and I can ASSURE you the security was a whole hell of a lot stiffer than this movie is portraying LOL. Oh, a bit further into the flick, hell happens to be a couple hundred feet below the surface of the Earth. Ok, fine, it is a magical little portal between the two, but still. Apparently people back then weren't too concerned about building a castle above the devils prison. It does make for an evil villains hideout quite well. The visuals in this one were very well done especially since they weren't working on some Hollywood budget (5 million). What they were able to do with it makes for some nice looking scenes especially down in Hell. The story that they came up with is really top notch as well. It isn't far-fetched seeing something along the lines of this happening. Using the DNA from famous people, clone children of the greats such as Mozart and Paganini are being created and sold to the highest bidder. But with this technology comes the evil doers who would love to use the DNA to replicate Jesus, but not in the way you expect, but in a way to go full circle to what I mentioned at the start. To free Lucifer. But with such a promising story comes this flick. There are so many flaws going on throughout that it just doesn't ever fit together. It is also moving at a hundred miles an hour non-stop and really doesn't ever build up any tension since it is tension the whole time. The acting is average which is about all that was needed. Director Nathan Frankowski also had no qualms in dealing the gore out and blood is spewing on occasion mixed in with the action. I also was impressed that they didn't get themselves entirely too wrapped up in the whole religious aspects of this even though it is a major portion of the experience. Last thing to mention is some good choice in the music which was used appropriately here. I must say I enjoyed this one a great deal and surely didn't expect it to be as good as it was.

Amazon and a few others have this but Microsoft is currently the cheapest for rental.
