dave j (1974 Devil's Possessed A cross between The Adventures of Robin Hood and evil MacBeth starring Paul Naschy who was also credited as a co-writer as the Baron Gilles de Lancré allowing himself to be manipulated by his evil wife, Graciela (Graciela Nilson) upon listening to their alchemist's mythical way of using common settlers and farmers as a sacrifice toward his eternal life with hero Gaston (Guillermo Bredeston) staging a rebellion. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Like Night of the Living Dead (which it owes more than a little bit to), it accidentally touches upon a lot of different themes which it gets zero credit for from most reviewers. The initial raid on the house by the radioactive villagers is actually pretty intense. Too bad that much of what's left is kind of humdrum and that the ending (also modeled on Night's) is... well... ill-conceived. Just don't pay much mind to the logistics of the nuclear war that's presented, which leaves everything intact and fallout that's but a minor concern, and enjoy the sometimes smarter-than-it-has-any-right-to-be zombie movie. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Read all reviews
