DVD Review: The Devil's Den

Devon Sawa turns in one of the best performances I have seen from him in a long time. Moreover, as I said before, Kelly Hu is nothing short of amazing to watch both as she fights and just to see her smile. Ken Foree plays one of his best characters of his career and I hope that if they do a sequel they keep him. Actually, keep everyone from this first film.

And yes, while Foree did have some difficulties with his sword work, he still did a pretty impressive job. Perhaps not as good as Zatoichi, who does a great job of overcoming the ghouls in a fantasy sequence. Hey, when you are stuck hiding from flesh-eating ghouls, you need a good story to pass the time.

Still, the entire film is worth watching, as I said. Lots of boobies, just enough gore to get interesting, and more humor than you might expect. Just watch out for those squirrels.
Next time you want to smuggle Spanish fly into the country just… what? You don't know what Spanish fly does? Well, it is used to get women "in the mood" shall we say. I knew a friend of a friend, who knew this guy whose cousin used it on his girlfriend and she actually did him until he died.

Sure, he died smiling, but still. So, if you young men are having trouble in that area, just contact me. I have a large supply left over. Cheap.

DVD specs:
Running time: about 90 minutes, closed captioned. Widescreen. Comes with Dolby Digital 5.1 and 2.0 Surround. Features audio commentary, a 'making of' feature and in addition the screenplay can be read from a DVD-ROM on your computer. And best of all, it comes with a blooper reel. Every movie should have one.

The Devil's Den
Anchor Bay
Directed by Jeff Burr
Written By Mitch Gould
With: Steven Schub, Ken Foree, Devon Sawa, and Kelly Hu
