The Devil's Cock



Better than the title indicates
I came into this movie with pretty low expectations, and boy was I surprised!

Definitely a splatstick film.. tons of blood, gore, and wooden acting. BUT - and this is the key point - it was well done.

Sure the VFX are weak. Sure there's no CGI to speak of. But it has the critical HUMOR intact and doesn't take itself too seriously. There were some serious surprises and whomever wrote this worked some good twists into the script. I got a lot of laughs out of the over-the-top stereotypes.

Not grand cinema, but worth a rental. Definitely now onmy list of "funnier thanit should be" movies.

Enjoy it for what it is
We were looking for a cheesy B-movie to watch, and The Devil's Cock sure fits that bill! In the same category as Attack of the Killer Tomatoes (only apparently with a much lower budget), TDC looks like it was made with love and shoestrings - and a chicken puppet. And some ketchup. And a twelve-year-old with a computer. Anyhow, if you're willing not to take it seriously and just go for the laughs, it's great. The actress who plays Mascara (I'm guessing that's Thirtina O'Blivion?) is terrific, totally chews up the scenery, and you can't help but root for the tough redneck girl who won't let the devil loose in her little town. If you have an hour to kill and flexible expectations, then this might just be the movie for you!

Better than expected!
This is a movie that you need to experience at least once in your life. It's "heart" makes up for the low budget quality, so don't let the lack of production value throw you off. It is definitely worth watching through to the end for the sake of the story, which has some great twists and memorable characters. It's a great ride! I'm looking forward to seeing more from this director.
