Lucifer Season 6 Episode 8 Review: Save the Devil, Save the World

Netflix, New DVD release, , , , ,
This Lucifer review contains spoilers. Lucifer Season 6 Episode 8 “This is the worst idea the doctor has ever had.” It’s the rare episode of Lucifer that moves outside its comfort zone of dead bodies, shady suspects, and puzzling evidence, but “Save the Devil, Save the World” does just that as it hones in on a much bigger problem. The end of the world appears nigh, and no one knows why.  While the introspective offering ventures into clip-show territory, the past scenes never feel obtrusive, nor do they stand in the way of fresh, new material. It’s fascinating to learn…

The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It Review

New DVD release, ,
“Based on a true story” is the hook that the Conjuring universe was built on. A franchise where the main entries feature events from the case files of real life paranormal investigating couple Ed and Lorraine Warren (Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga) it’s a good gimmick that has served the series well so far – if you want to believe the Perron family were haunted by a ghost witch and that there was a poltergeist in North London in the 1970s, have at it. If not, you’ve still got a fun film with two likeable leads and plenty of good…

Lucifer Season 5 Episode 11 Review: Resting Devil Face

Netflix, New DVD release, , , , ,
This Lucifer review contains spoilers. Lucifer Season 5 Episode 11 “Don’t mysterious ways me; you just exploded a man.” Grammar faux pas aside, Joan Osborne’s 1995 release raises a philosophical question that to this point has gleaned no satisfactory answer – “What if God was one of us?” I’m not sure we’ve gained much meaningful insight to this question, but Lucifer has a lot of fun exploring that scenario while at the same time addressing much of the pain with which so many of the characters continue to struggle. “Resting Devil Face” takes a multi-layered approach to examine the  emotional…

New DVD release, , , ,
It’s the eighth part in the Conjuring universe, the third starring Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga as Ed and Lorraine Warren, yet director Michael Chavez says The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It is going to be “very different” from the rest of the franchise. After revealing the first 11 minutes of the film to journalists, Chavez, who also made Conjuring universe movie The Curse of La LLorona, explains that the intention for the third installment of the main franchise was always to “blow the doors off the haunted house experience and take the Warrens out into the world,”…

John Wayne Gacy: Devil in Disguise Review

New DVD release, , ,
“Clowns can get away with murder,” John Wayne Gacy told retired Des Plaines police officer David Hachmeister during a 10-day surveillance operation. The statement made the hair on the investigator’s head stand up. Over the course of Peacock’s original’s six-part docuseries John Wayne Gacy: Devil in Disguise, Hachmeister’s follicles come to perform routine calisthenics. Gacy is best known as the “Killer Clown,” but what sent Hachmeister’s neurological system into overdrive was how normal this clown appeared to be. That is the biggest reveal and the most common thread across the narrative. Gacy wasn’t Heath Ledger’s Joker in The Dark Knight,…

The Devil All the Time Ending Explained

Netflix, New DVD release, ,
This article contains The Devil All the Time spoilers. You can read the review here. After so much bloodshed and tragedy, few could expect to find peace at the end of things. That includes Tom Holland’s taciturn Arvin Russell. Yet sitting in a Volkswagen next to a long-haired gentleman, one who appeared to be part of the vanguard for the next generation, the often hyper-observant Arvin is letting his guard down, and a sense of ease washes over him for the first time in probably his whole life. On the radio, President Lyndon B. Johnson is droning on about some…

Netflix, New DVD release, , , ,
Spider-Man, Pennywise, Edward Cullen, The Winter Soldier, and Dudley Dursely are part of the unholy ensemble assembled in The Devil All the Time: a black-as-sin slice of Southern Gothic based on the novel by Donald Ray Pollock.

Devil’s Road: Judy Spera Details Life Growing Up As A Warren

New DVD release, , , ,
When a child grows up with famous parents, it means dealing with overly eager fans, and invasive reporters. But for Judy Spera, the daughter of Ed and Lorraine Warren, arguably the most well-known paranormal investigators ever, growing up with famous parents also meant dealing with dark forces, and one notoriously haunted doll. Spera was an adult in her twenties by the time her parents gained mainstream attention for their work with the paranormal in the mid-70s. But before the Lindley Street Poltergeist case in Bridgeport, Connecticut, in 1974, or the Amityville Horror, and long before The Conjuring film franchise, Spera’s parents sold…

Devil’s Road: The True Story of Ed and Lorraine Warren Review

New DVD release, , , ,
Travel Channel is kicking off its new “Shock Doc” programming with one of the earliest paranormal pairings. And they are having a fun time doing it. Devil’s Road: The True Story of Ed and Lorraine Warren is a jaunty ride through the lives and cases of Ed and Lorraine Warren. Told with gleefully dramatic suspense, it skips the more disconcerting aspects of their private lives and controversial claims to justify their legend. Before Ghost Hunters, Ghostbusters or even In Search Of, you couldn’t walk into a haunted house in the Northeast U.S.  without bumping into the Warrens. Without them there…

Lucifer Season 5 Episode 1 Review: Really Sad Devil Guy

Netflix, New DVD release, , , , ,
This Lucifer review contains spoilers. We have a spoiler free review here if you prefer. Lucifer Season 5 Episode 1 It’s been over a year since the endearing Prince of Darkness last graced the small screen, but the fifth season premiere of Netflix’s Lucifer quickly reminds fans of the fantasy police procedural why they’re so inexorably drawn to the show. After last season’s devastatingly emotional conclusion, “Really Sad Devil Guy” brings back an old foe whose presence allows the Devil and the detective to take the first steps toward what viewers hope will be a short-lived separation.

Lucifer Season 4 Recap: The Devil’s in the Details

Netflix, New DVD release, , , ,
The following contains spoilers for Lucifer season 4. Lucifer is the rare show that didn’t reach its full potential until it was canceled. Always fun, supernatural camp, the show reached another level in season 4 following its move from Fox to Netflix. The first three seasons largely used Ellis’ ability to slip so easily and believably from semi-sleazy boundless cad to genuinely hurt lost child to raging demon to tell the story of the devil’s emotional development from the rejected and perpetually abandoned son of God (and Goddess) to (semi-)self-aware friend, partner, and potential (chaste) lover. In this, he was…
